Finish No. 4 - 1st Q

This is the third set of pillowcases on my Finish Along list (just two more to go....).


It is so easy to cut out (or set aside to cut out later...procrastinate much) matching fabrics to the quilts I am working on...so for these, the matching quilt is also on my Finish Along list.  I did get the top finished this quarter, but i don't think I will be able t o get it on the frame and quilted...oh well, it will slide on over to the 2nd Quarter list!

Some Stats for the quilt:
Size: Standard Pillow
Quilting: None
Started: 01/11/18
Finished: 03/24/18
Fabric Used: Art gallery fabric by Sharon Holland...but I don't remember the name of the line...

This makes finish #4 for 1st Quarter...and 16 remaining on the 1st Quarter FAL List.

Finish No. 3 - 1st Q

This is another set of pillowcases...I was on a pillowcase roll this month!  Its a great way to buy and quickly use the newest cutest fabrics...without adding a giant project to the WIP pile...


These pillowcases will match the Christmas quilt I am making for my bed...which is also on my Finish Along list...but far from finished...

Some Stats for the quilt:
Size: Standard Pillow
Quilting: None
Started: 01/11/18
Finished: 03/24/18

This makes finish #3 for the 1st Quarter...and 17 remaining on the 1st Quarter FAL List.

Finish No. 2 - 1st Q

This is my Easter set of pillowcases...in flannel!  Super soft, and finished up with a week to spare before Easter...and the close of the 1st Quarter Finish Along!


Across the top of the Easter pillowcase, is a set of Valentines case (not on my original finish along list, but nonetheless done) which will have to wait until next year to see any use....


Some Stats for the quilt:
Size: Standard Pillowcase
Quilting: None
Started: 1/11/18
Finished: 3/24/18
Fabric Used: I'm so bad at taking note...but it a beautiful soft flannel from my local quilt shop

This makes finish #2 for this quarter...and 18 remaining on the 1st Quarter FAL List.

Finish No. 1 - 1st Q

This is a scrap quilt I have been calling Dapper Dan.  I used this as my first project quilted on my new-to-me Gammill Long-Arm!

I tried somthing different in each rectangle...to get a feel for how the machine works...and how to work the machine...

Some circles...were more square...


Squares...were mostly square...



Serpentines...reallly need some work.

But it was a fun experiment!  I'm anxious to get all of my tops on there and get some more practice in!

Some Stats for the quilt:
Size: 61" X 68"
Quilting: On my Gammill, all kinds of test patterns
Started: 05/31/16
Finished: 03/11/18


This makes finish #1 for the quarter...and 19 remaining on the 1st Quarter FAL List.
