Ha! I feel like I’ve got nothing done the first 6 months of the year. I know I haven’t finished anything on the Finish-A-Long list. But as I started thinking of what I HAVE accomplished, it’s not as bleak as I thought.
In February I finished the Blue Disappearing 9-Patch top.

Early March found me making this monochromatic tablerunner as a class sampler — which still needs to be quilted.

Late March was a mad dash for a shop sample. – No picture.
April and May I worked on the blocks for Alletore – the 2015 Bonnie Hunter Mystery.![retreatmystery](https://i2.wp.com/pamela.avaraarts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/retreatmystery.jpg?resize=420%2C438)

While doing these quilts, I made progress on the Tumbler Leader/Ender project – finishing it unless I decide to add a couple of more rows. It roughly measures 70 x 80.

I also finished the backing to for the Disappearing 9-Patch.

Progress was made on both Strip Twist & Pineapple Blossom.

Now here’s a finish. These are 10 of the 17 bags I made for gifts. I didn’t get a picture of the rest of them.![10bags](https://i0.wp.com/pamela.avaraarts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/10bags.jpg?resize=420%2C405)

Another finish is this travel iron tote.

And since I got into my Maypole fabrics, I decided to make a Bionic Gear Bag to go with it. It is still in progress.

There may not be any finishes which count toward the Finish-A-Long, but I did more than I thought.
Hey, good news you photographed 11 of your 17 bags…maybe you finished 18??? Love the bionic bag in progress!
Wowser! you have accomplished a lot! Love the bags and iron tote and the fabric you made them from.
