What I’m Working on Wednesday – A Finish and A Start

In this installment of What I’m Working on Wednesday, I have a finish and a new start.  The finish is Jelly Roll Twist.  I made the top at the quilt retreat this past September and quilted it this past December. I finally got it bound on Tuesday.

  • Started 9/21/24 – Finished 1/22/25
  • 51″x 60″
  • Glide 40wt in Cotton Candy
  • Hearts n Flowers
  • Legacy 80/20 batting
  • Donation Quilt

The new start is Living on Cornbread.  In November I saw an antique quilt with these blocks and fell in love with it. I started with a layer cake and yardage, but will end up getting another one as one layer cake only makes 21 blocks. I reached out to an Etsy seller to cut templates for the kite unit, as that angle is narrower than what the Accquilt die makes.

 

Weekly Goals for the Week of 1/20/25

I have more quilting/textile goals for 2025 than I listed yesterday on my UFO list. I also want to post more regularly since this is typically how I track my quilting.  To that end I’ve come up with this schedule:

  • Sunday – 2024 Catch up.  Once I’m caught up I’ll revisit this.
  • Monday – Goals for the year or week.
  • Wednesday – What I’m Working On. This ties into the weekly Facebook post for Gulf States Quilt Association
  • Friday – Stash Report. How I’m doing on using my existing stash.

There may be other posts through the week, it will just depend on what’s happening. So this week’s goals are:

I have 2 quilts which need to be quilted this week.

I want to get this quilt from my UFO list bound and labeled. I want to turn it in at the next Brandon Quilters meeting.

There are 12 of these little notebooks on my list to get done by February 10th.  I want to get at least 4 made this week.

Check back on Monday to see if I accomplish these goals or if I’ve bitten off more than I can chew.
