I had a successful Fall quarter and knocked 4 things off the list with 3 quilts. One was two sided!
The finishes:
Trip around the World - 2 inches hand pieced. 60x60. Machine quilted 11/7. Finished 11/10.
Potato chip blocks - started April 2024
Finished 11/26/24.
Full Stop Sew along.... 2021 .
This became the backing with extra blocks for the Potato Chip Block. Finished 11/26.
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. Might need to order more since I am using that bolt for a few things! The blocks are 4.5 inches.
3.) Midget Applique quilt from Sentimental Stitches. I need to add more flowers and leaves and the vines... and the last border.
4.) triangle pyramids. started June 2024.
5.) 2024 RSC - Arkansas Traveller Quilt.
This needs one more block and then setting triangles. 68x68 for a finish I think.
6.) Midget block collection - I started these in Vermont in 2010! I have a light blue for sashing.
7.) Birds in the Air block collection
8.) Erin's Butterfly - I made the wings in 2021. Need to add one more set of wings... thinking 9 is a nice number?
9.) 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!
10.) 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?
11,) This is a kit I purchased mid-90s - butterfly's. I think all the parts are there and I did start arranging them.
12.) Quilters Patch. A sew along that I completely did not meet my goals on in 2022. One block is done.
13.) 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!
14.) Bittersweet Briar - pattern in Kim Deihl's book and kit of fabric.
15) Brimfield Awakening EPP. I did start this and have the first fabric thread basted in purple!
Quilt Tops:
19) Ella Maria Deacon Blocks. Hand pieced, machine stitched together into a top. Patterns from Sentimental Stitches.
I need to measure and see if it is happy with it's size or now. All my quilts seem to have a mind of their own!
20) Vermont Quilt Festival Booth Hop from either 2008 or 2009. it is 71x71.
21.) Y2K Joann's BOM - quilt top
22.) 1857 Quilt Along Top - This one is in the hoop for hand quilting as of December 2024.
23.) Spring Hexagons - not sure if this wants to be bigger or not....
24.) 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.
25.) Harmony - hand pieced project started March 2021-
2/5/24 it is a top!
26.) 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!

You have so many lovely wip projects to work on Deb this year. I especially love that Erin's butterfly--and I think 9 is a lovely number to finish; I can't recall how big the blocks will be--but you could always add borders to bring it up to any size you want/need.
See I am voting for that one !! Hahaha [like I have a vote even--my last vote evidently didn't count well enough ;((((--nuff said!!!]
Feel better soon...hugs from afar Julierose ;)))
so many projects - hope you are not feeling too bad
You did really well with finishing a bunch of quilts in 2024! I bet 2025 will be just as productive. Looking forward to seeing what you decide to finish up next!
Plenty to keep you busy during the Winter 2025 UFO Club, Deb. Happy finishing!
