This year’s finishes:
One bed size quilt:
This isn’t as wonky as it looks, thank goodness! It’s just that I had trouble hanging it for the photo because it’s bigger than the design wall!
And a number of other quilts for various family, or for things I was teaching, or just because I wanted to:
Back of “Triangle Variations”
“Triangle Variations” did not get to go to a quilt show due to COVID
My “Little Green Man” quilt, June 2019
Machine applique of these circles was done after the quilting, so there was no need for further stabilizer
A few of this year’s 13 donation quilts:
-
- This one was done for leaders and enders, and is going to have to be entitled “Nobody’s Perfect”! Finished size is 34″ x 39″
-
- This top was started over a year ago when I wanted to experiment with half-rectangle triangles. The finished quilt is 40″ x 48″
-
- This top was made from slabs swapped in one of my groups. I spy some orphan blocks incorporated into slabs!
-
- I found this panel in the SCRAP BIN at a shop where I teach, so I got it for $1 an ounce!
-
- Blue Rails, drawn in EQ8 based on a quilt by Nann at withstringsattached.blogspot.com
-
- “Baby Stars”, made from the pattern “Lucky Stars” by Atkinson Designs.
-
- Wonky Log Cabin Remix
-
- Rescued Dots
And finally, some table runners, art quilts, etc:
-
- The colors of the quilt blended with the colors of my chimney, where I stuck it up to be photographed
-
- I made this little landscape based on the ideas in Happy Villages
-
- Cheryl and me with the partially completed quilt I designed and made in class
These projects were started this year but still aren’t finished:
Yes, quitting my day job really improved my productivity 😀
Zippy Quilts 
I’ll say it was a good year! So much creativity!😊
Thanks!
“…or just because I wanted to…”
Yep, you certainly have that right!
To have the mental space to create while in the midst of responsibilities (in your case, also quilts for teaching classes), and enjoy a few UFO ‘finishes’ to boot…wow.
I love seeing all those scrappy bits in your quilts; and such a variety of ways in which to use them.
🙂
Thanks, Laura. I still say that after so many years of quilting the stash is mostly scraps 🙂
Very nice work!
Thanks, Norma! I’ll be in New Mexico in January but hope to see you at modern guild in February.
Awesome recap – some beautiful pieces!
Thanks! And fun, too!
A productive year filled with beautiful work. I am in awe!
Well, it was fill with fun! Thanks.
WOW! An impressive set of quilts. I particularly like the bed quilt in the first photograph.
Thanks. The bed-size one was a bother, but I have to try everything at least once!
Wow! You got a lot done! Congratulations!
It really does help not to have a day job 🙃
Ha ha ha!
What a lovely post with so many fabulous quilts! I enjoyed looking at your output/production/creativity. You do amaze me with your inventiveness and willingness to go for it. I can see I need to step up my output of donation quilts; thanks for your inspiration!
Thanks for visiting and commenting. I admired your year-end post, too!
