Summer 2021 Ravelry Challenge.

 I'm in again! I'm just removing the few finishes from Spring and see what can get accomplished this quarter!


Since I never know what I am in the mood to work on.... lets just throw a whole bunch of things out there and see what sticks shall we?

Block Collections.


1.) I know I have at least one more cut and in a baggie somewhere to fill that open spot for a 7x6 setting. These are hand pieced.... and might need a little fixing along the way.



 2.) Hexagon flowers on a black background. These are a stack of blocks I hand pieced a few years ago then hand appliqued to the black background a couple years after that!  Not sure if they will become one or two quilts....




3.) Crumb blocks.... might these end up in a quilt? Or the start of some baskets?




4.) Sweet Confetti blocks - I have 96 of these made.... need to be put together and quilted.



5.) Midget Applique quilt from Sentimental Stitches. I need to add  more flowers and leaves and the vines... and the bottom yellow border. This one is completely hand pieced.



6.) Ella Maria Deacon blocks - make a few more and finish them off into a top. I believe I was making these by hand. Patterns from Sentimental Stitches.



7.) Purple applique hearts... need to figure out how they want to be set.



8.)  this quilt that has been an on and off, leader and ender for years. My scrappy irish chain. I believe I had a bucket of 2 inch squares next to my sewing machine for a while and would make sets, and rows and blocks in between sewing other things. I think it wants to get competed.


9.) Midget block collection - I started these in Vermont in 2010!



10.) Civil War Blocks





11.) Churn Dash blocks these are a top - no picture for proof though. *** Finished September 2021.



12.) Endless Diamond Blocks - 21 made.  20 will make the top I think. All hand pieced. This is a top... but it wanted borders to finish the stars, silly quilt. 



13.) Birds in the Air block collection

14.) Harmony - hand pieced project started March 2021- one 28 inch block completed - 3 to go.




15.) Lets go fly a kite- because it might have percolated long enough in my head already. - 2 completed into a placemat august 2021.

16.)  Flowering Snowball - Completed August 2021.

17.) Round Robin. Finished 7/17/2021.


18.) Cat and mouse is on the frame in process of hand quilting but has been sadly neglected.



19) This one stayed on the list - needs quilting. Vermont Quilt Festival Booth Hop from either 2008 or 2009. I have backing for this and it is 71x71.




20.) Green Tumblers - a hand pieced top. 



21.) Hoarfrost - top is done will it get quilted this year? **Snowflake gray backing





22.) Baby Bear Paw quilt top ** Made back from a class in 1999 I think from Yankee Pride. ** Polka dot backing



23.) Trip around the World



24.) Y2K Joann's BOM - quilt top



25.) Blue and Purple 9 patch with muslin top Made in the 90's. Have a back for this 50x60. * Completed September 2021.



26.) Tumbler flag - this did not come out how I imagined.... It might get reinvented after taking parts out. We will see.



27.) 1857 Quilt Along Top



28.) Spring Hexagons - not sure if this wants to be bigger or not.... 





29.) FCQG baby quilt challenge. 40x48 have a backing for this. ***Polka dot backing




30.) Triple Irish Chain - green. 80x80 I think. I did find both fabrics extra with it... Might need a green or cream border first or both... Made in the early 2000's.

Wow. Thirty quilts so close to the finish line. My suggestion is to take the few that you said you had backing for and sandwich them ready to quilt. You probably still have to find or purchase backing for some of the other tops. That can give you something to look for as you visit shops or not. And here is another challenge - do not start another for the 3 months.
have a great vacation.
