In keeping with the plan to finish a UFO a month during 2015, here is the April finish. Since this fabric has been waiting for about 5 years, I’m calling this a significant finish!
Flower Fairies, A Donation Quilt
The second April finish is not only finished but delivered to the Quilt Alliance for their 2015 challenge. This one is called Cat Circus. The Laurel Burch fabrics reminded me of how just one cat can be a complete circus (polite word for disaster) in just a matter of minutes in any room in the house. I love cats, so that’s OK by me.

And here is the May finish, along with two other donation quilts I made in April and May. This means 6 so far this year–I’m caught up through June! I’ll have more information on some of these in a later post. They are an improvisational quilt, an orphan block quilt, and a quilt using Cuddle charms and cat fabric.
I made two more blocks for My Modern Sampler this month. You can read about the improvisational one here, and I will blog about the Humbug Star at a later date. For now, here’s a preview:
Finally, I bound the Charley Harper quilt that came back from the quilter a while ago. These organic cottons from Birch are stiffer and less silky than my usual quilting cottons, so I washed the quilt when it was finished. That helped some with the stiffness and also made the quilting stand out more.

On to the June projects–I’ll have much more news coming up!
Zippy Quilts 
You have a wonderful talent for composition, and I appreciate that each looks fresh — you’re not redoing the same old thing time after time. (I hope that sounds like a compliment as that is how I meant it!)
Do you have experience with other organic cottons? I wonder if it is a typical characteristic or just one of this line.
This was my first experience with organic cotton. I do not think the “organic” was the reason it was stiff; I would attribute that to the way the yarn was made or the sizing in the fabric. I would try other organics, and I love the Charley Harper prints enough that the quilt had to be done regardless 🙂
You mixed the prints beautifully in the Turning Twenty quilt. And I like Cat Circus a lot–colors work well with the feature print.
Thanks for your comment and for visiting!
As always, a joy to see what you have done! Are all of these large blocks or “cuddle-size”?
Most of these are little because Ronald McDonald House requests quilts 40 inches square. Thanks for visiting and commenting 😊
