2018 FinishAlong Second Quarter Goals

Am not committing to too much! These are all baby/kids size projects. I do want to continue trying to using from my stash and not be buying new fabrics (shaking with anxiety at the thought; will just have to stay away from Spotlight and my favourite online stores...sigh, being a fabricaholic is hard).

I think I'll be doing well to complete these for my FinishAlong goals:

This top needs quilted: DONE see here

This quilt is already underway...DONE (see here)

I plan to make a string quilt with the leftovers and scraps from the two quilts above: 

I want to make something with this kids' print flannel jelly roll...DONE (see here)

I will turn this practice sandwich into a pillow:

And I have a plan for these brights... (which I have done, but haven't taken photos yet!)

#summer - a lap quilt

My third quilt finish of 2018, which I finished at during Easter...they are lap quilts for our two black leather sofas in the sitting room.

Measures 54"x50" (legs not included!)

I've called it #summer because of the pattern and the fact that the pair of quilts will always remind me of our first (and very, very hot) summer in this Hunter Street house. It is on my to-do list for the 2018 Finishalong's first quarter goals and is completely made from my stash.

For this quilt I just used straight-line quilting.

Is from a pattern called 'Weave' by Me and My Sister Designs from their book '12-Pack Quilts' and the backing is made with leftover yardage.

Here it is with its buddy quilt Summer Buzzcut:

Here's how they look in the sitting room:

Did you spot Rumbles doing his cushion impression?

Summer Buzz

My first quilt finish of 2018 (but have taken until now to get photos as was waiting to finish its 'buddy' quilt too)...they are lap quilts for our two black leather sofas in the sitting room.

Measures 59" square.

Completed in January, this was my summer project and first on my to-do list for the 2018 Finishalong's first quarter goals and is completely made from my stash!

Is from a pattern called 'Buzzcut' by Me and My Sister Designs which is in their book '12-Pack Quilts' and took me quite a few hours (I watched full seasons of 13 Reasons, The Crown second series, the third series of Reign and the Virgin Queen mini-series on Netflix while cutting, piecing and quilting).  

We had a stinking hot summer here and on many days it was almost too hot to move outside, so it was nice to have an excuse (like I need one anyway!) sit in the sewing room in whatever breeze I could garner between the window and the back door.

Here it is with its buddy quilt #summer:
