I seem to have lost the quilting mojo for a bit the end of 2022. Life is settling down a little and new projects and old UFO's are calling my name. I went back and looked over my previous lists for the last year or two. I'm impressed with how many on the lists have actually been finished! Alas, there are still plenty of UFO's in the sewing area that need some attention.
1.) I know I have at least one more cut somewhere to fill that open spot for a 7x6 setting. These are hand pieced.... and might need a little fixing along the way on some of those middle joins. Just ordered some kona solids for an alternate block for these to become a quilt.
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.) 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.
4.) 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.
5.) Purple applique hearts... need to figure out how they want to be set. They think they want a nine patch alternate block in a white and solid purple. I'm not sure if I should listen to them?
7.) Civil War Blocks
8.) Birds in the Air block collection
9.) Harmony - hand pieced project started March 2021- one 28 inch block completed - 3 to go.
10.) Erin's Butterfly - I made the wings in 2021. Need to add one more set of wings... thinking 9 is a nice number?
11.) Garden Path blocks - a few more got added last quarter. missing light green. I made 2 orange during the orange month. I need a couple of bright greens to round this one out.
12.) Full Stop Sew along.... 2021 . Re thinking this one - might eliminate some of the white space and make a few more of some.....????
13) extra strips from a quilt that might become a mini 'coin' type quilt? Or placemats? *completed 2/16/23. 3 placemats.
14.) ** From some of the 16 patch blocks in #15 - I made this quilt that needs quilting. Finished 1/2/2022. 56x73 quilt for Holly.
15.) 16 patch blocks from RSC2022
16.) Brimfield Awakening EPP. I did start this and have the first fabric thread basted in purple!
Quilt Tops:
17.) Cat and mouse is on the frame in process of hand quilting but has been sadly neglected.
18.) Vermont Quilt Festival Booth Hop from either 2008 or 2009. it is 71x71.
19.) Green Tumblers - a hand pieced top.
20.) Hoarfrost - top is done ** Completed 1/28/2023.
**21.) Baby Bear Paw quilt top. Made back from a class in 1999 I think from Yankee Pride. Hand quilting started 9/27/22.
22.) Trip around the World - 2 inches hand pieced. 60x60.
23.) Y2K Joann's BOM - quilt top
24.) 1857 Quilt Along Top
25.) Spring Hexagons - not sure if this wants to be bigger or not....
26.) 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. circular feathers in open spaces.
27.) mostly cut out and some 9 patches are made. Hehe... from the first quilting book I had and made a quilt from. Introduction to Quilting 101 - the basics by Sharon Hultgren. I think this was Sunrise Surprise! The four patch from this book is at my Mom's hanging over a crib still!
28.) I forgot I had this. It is a cute birdhouse wall hanging but is foundation pieced, which I dislike. Maybe I can deal with it enough to get this done? Or rework it?
29.) This is a kit I purchased mid-90s - butterfly's. I think all the parts are there and I did start arranging them.

30.) Quilters Patch. A sew along that I completely did not meet my goals on in 2022. One block is done.
31.) Scrappy Flowering Snowball - I started cutting these with my accuquilt from scraps with the color of the month in 2020. I think it is time to start stitching them together. I see I need some orange added and purple and lots of lights!
32.) Bittersweet Briar

You have a lot of lovely starts to choose from;)))I have been choosing the ones furthest along the road to being finished first...meanwhile, crumbing along here another cold, gray Winter day here...hugs, Julierose
I love the harmony block - are you sure you have started enough quilts LOL - you sure do have quite a collection, maybe just pick out one at a time to finish up?
It's always fun to see your parade of WiPs! I would have a hard time choosing what to work on next, except your hexie flowers on the black backgrounds is really appealing to me. So I vote for that one, lol! Which ever one you choose, it will make a beautiful quilt.
Now, we know that if you get snowed in you won't be bored to tears, haha. So many beautiful projects and some are close to the finish line. Enjoy! ;^)
Deb, do you do all your quilts by hand? They are all lovely. I would say keep the hearts on point and use a plain background square to fill in the blanks. Otherwise the 9 patches might take over the Hearts! Hugs
It's fun to see all of your projects and where you are on them. I have a list but no in-progress photos.
Lots of beautiful projects to choose from!
Such neat projects! I always love a Bear Paw especially in blue and white but that Harmony block wins today! Wow! ~Jeanne
That's quite a collection of projects, Deb! Best of with the finishing for the quarter. Where to start???
WOW! That is a spectacular parade! So many treasures to enjoy!
