When it comes to quilting, I always think I can get more done than I can in the amount of time I have available. This month will probably prove the point. Of these 5 projects I want to completely finish 2 of them and get the other 3 tops made.
Top left – Jared Takes a Wife. Two seams on each block and then a simple set with sashing and cornerstones. Middle left – Orca Bay. I think I have all the pieces sew for the center of the quilt – I still need to finish piecing the border. Bottom left – Eeyore. Still in pieces.
Top Right – Scrappy Trips Around the World – I’m planning on quilting this on the treadle. I brought the backing fabric up from the basement this morning. Bottom Right – Candy Sunflower Seeds. It has a pieced border which I’ve been working on as my leader/ender.
If I only focus on these 5 quilts, it could happen. I leave for a quilt retreat in two weeks. My plan is to focus on Eeyore and hopefully finish him. Then at the retreat I should be able to finish the 3 quilt tops. (That is if I don’t take all the projects I have stacked on the ironing board to take with me – 3 new quilts and 2 to finish.) Which means I’ll have a week and a half to get Scrappy Trips quilted.
Fun stuff to take to Retreat. I like taking stacks of blocks so that a Flimsy Finish is very possible while I’m having fun. I’m jealous that you get to go again to a Retreat. I can hardly wait for my Trip to Utah this month and a Retreat in July!
