Finish It Up! Friday 23 March

I've finished the body of the top for my twin-sized batik quilt - only the borders remain.

I've also finalized the 'Thank You' gifts for my upcoming fundraiser - I can't expand without funds, and I cannot accept a ChipIn without a tangible 'Thanks!' Details to come on that in April

Finish It Up! Friday - 03.02

I'm running a bit behind for this week's Finish! post, but after weeks of accomplishing little I actually have full-size projects worthy of posting.

First up, a custom twin-sized pirate flag quilt. This one features solid Kona purple and the Day of the Dead-inspired 'Los Novios' print from Alexander Henry:
Second is another finish to a top Jenni created for one of her boys:



He's a very tactile lad, so the backing is unquilted fleece. I quilted the top as usual, with cotton batting and a really ugly cotton print that I couldn't bear to throw away but couldn't honestly imagine using for anything anyone might see!

After quilting it was simply a matter of layering with the fleece, and then binding the two thick layers (quilt and fleece) together. It's much heavier than usual and will be quite warm. It will also require tumble-drying on high!

I finally finished the binding and label for that custom t-shirt quilt, then promptly forgot to photograph it. I blame the influence of the sinus medication I was on - I had a sinus infection that kicked my butt last week and it turns out the most effective drugs for me are HCl based, which tend to make me drowsy.

But hey, if you remembered to take pictures of anything you've made in the last week (or two!), go ahead and post links below. The only rules are it has to be something you made, and if it's food maybe share the recipe, too!

Pinkie Pie is completed! Her finished measurements are 42" square, with a pieced binding. All Hail, the trusty nine-patch!

Finish it Up! Friday

Amanda Jean over at Crazy Mom Quilts is making a new push to get things done - Finish it Up! Friday,* she calls it . . . . I am in the middle of so many big projects the idea of finishing anything seems a long, long way off. I have actually accomplished a good bit in the last few weeks, but my completions aren't quilt related.

So here's a look at a few quilts that have been completed for a bit, but haven't been measured and blogged.

Exhibit A: A Field of Ladybugs in the 'Windows on My World: Colonial Traditions' pattern. Measures 42" x 31"


Exhibit B: Jungle Critters colour block, in blue, green and yellow. Measuring 32" x 38"

Exhibit C: Jungle Critters Colour Block - green and blue, Measuring 40" x 30"

Exhibit D: Zoo Critters, Bay Views with blue and pink, Measuring 36" x 26"

*yes, I do see the irony of posting this on a late Saturday afternoon!
