Five finished quilts in Q4 at my house. My kids and I each finished a quilt to submit to QuiltCon. Theirs will each hang in the show. Mine won't. ;-) I also finished my Halloween quilt, which I'm super excited to have done. The last one was some secret sewing that I'll be able to show off soon, but it wasn't on my Q4 list since it was a new project. Q4 also brought the beginning of many new projects.
Here's the exhaustive list of projects in my sewing room. I have a lot of finished quilt tops (14) and a lot of projects being in some state of being pieced (20). And 45 total WIPs. (Sorry if that makes you sweat a little.) This is a new high for me, though at least seven of them will be done this week.
They are arranged here by stage of the project. Let's not talk about how those that "just need binding" have been in that section for a while. I've marked with an asterisk (*) the highest priority items on the list. There are a few more coming up in the queue on the priority list, including five more Project Quilting challenges. (The first is listed at the very end. I have the theme and a design in mind... it's due on Sunday!) Happy sewing!

Ahhhhhh! SO many divine projects! I wouldn't know where to start first (which is mainly my problem with my own list.) I will be waving my pom poms for you from the sidelines and watching with excitement which ones you start/finish first!
sarah
Post authorThank you so much, Ella! That is my problem, too! I'm deadline driven, so it's often easier to decide what to do first (for a challenge or a job), but that leaves a lot of other projects that I still love, but don't make progress on. I think it's clear that my favorite parts are the fabric pull and starting a new project. ;-)
Megan
What a great list! My favorites are the rainbow chain and rainbow remix... guess I've got rainbows on the mind. Best of luck completing your list!
sarah
Post authorThank you, Megan. Clearly I'm drawn to rainbows too. I'm hoping to get Rainbow Chain up on the design wall soon since so many generous people made me blocks in the Fall for #getyourquiltywishesgranted3 on Instagram. It will be a fun one to have put together and it's staying at my house. ;-)
Peggy
I like the colors you work with. Can’t wait to see what you finish this month and quarter.
sarah
Post authorThank you, Peggy. I clearly have so much to choose from! Having finished seven mini quilts in the last two days I need to reassess what my priorities are for what to focus on next.
Lynette
I love your use of color and all of your improve projects. Your City Sampler is SO COOL!
sarah
Post authorThank you, Lynette. I have a lot of great options for projects to work on.
