Let's see how the Winter 2024 quarter finished shall we? The goal was to have 3 finishes.
*** edited and added one so... at 30 again!
The reality - 3 finishes! Would you believe the current list is under 30 now? Yup, me either! There are various orphan blocks hanging around, but I think I'll leave the list as is this quarter and see if I can whittle it down a little bit more. Shall I shoot for 3 again? We will see how the next 3 months goes.
#25 - Green Tumblers
#26 - Bear Paw
#6-Scrappy Kites
The list of UFO's -
1.) I know I have at least one more cut somewhere to fill that open spot for a 7x6 setting. *** found the parts in a baggie! 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. From Inklingo lemoyne stars.
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.... I also have the black heaxagons I cut out of the block when I appliqued them on.... those might come out to play this quarter! Unfinished block size is 6.5 inches. Right now with 12x14 setting it will be 72x84. If I add a border - 5 inches all around it would be 82x94. Fit a double bed.
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.) Split Nines - RSC Challenge 2023.
6.) flying geese leftover from another project 2022 RSC quilt I believe. Well, the triangle of the geese actually!
7.) Midget block collection - I started these in Vermont in 2010! I have a light blue for sashing.
8.) Birds in the Air block collection
9.) Potato chip blocks - started april 5 and boy are they addicting!
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.) Full Stop Sew along.... 2021 . Re thinking this one - might eliminate some of the white space and make a few more of some.....???? Or add some Alphabet or numbers to the mix?
12.) 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!
13.) 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?
14,) This is a kit I purchased mid-90s - butterfly's. I think all the parts are there and I did start arranging them.

15.) Quilters Patch. A sew along that I completely did not meet my goals on in 2022. One block is done.
16.) 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!
17.) Bittersweet Briar - pattern in Kim Deihl's book and kit of fabric.
18) Brimfield Awakening EPP. I did start this and have the first fabric thread basted in purple!
19.) Bonnie Hunter Mystery - On Ringo Lake - maybe step #2?
20) Bonnie Hunter Mystery - Grassy Creek (2020) Think I am on step #4.
Quilt Tops:
22) Cat and mouse is on the frame in process of hand quilting but has been sadly neglected.
23) Vermont Quilt Festival Booth Hop from either 2008 or 2009. it is 71x71.
24.) Trip around the World - 2 inches hand pieced. 60x60.
25.) Y2K Joann's BOM - quilt top
26.) 1857 Quilt Along Top
27.) Spring Hexagons - not sure if this wants to be bigger or not....
28.) 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.
29.) Christmas Cactus Wreath.
30.)Harmony - hand pieced project started March 2021-
2/5/24 it is a top!

Congrats on THREE finishes for March!! Good work on these lovelies!!
You have wonderful choices to be made for April's finishes--so many of yours are at that "just about finished" stage...good luck and have fun with your choices...hugs, Julierose
I made a quilt like your first photo years ago the Inklingo Lemoyne Stars. I don't think I even have any links to that anymore I know the last time I tried to get into the old saved stuff I couldn't access it.
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this roundup of projects, UFO"s etc. So many lovely projects, Deb. And a big congrats on three finishes too. Lots of happy stitching ahead!
Oh my goodness - what a fantastic collection of projects you have! So good to get some finished. Others are so close that I’m sure you’ll be able to count them done too.
