I participated in all six challenges for Project QUILTING in Q1, making 4 mini quilts and two bags. I also made the first of my Island Batik projects, a pair of mug rugs and and a mini quilt. I also finished seven mug rugs from my Q1 list (though they didn't get shared on the blog of linked up). I finished my Wonderlust baby quilt and my minimalism challenge for Curated Quilts. Lastly, I finally put the binding on my Midnight Mystery quilt, giving me one large finish for the quarter. That's 16 quilts in Q1!

Last quarter the list got up to a whopping 45 WIPs. With the addition of a few new projects that number has been knocked to 40 for Q2. They are arranged here by stage of the project. Stay tuned! ;-)

Part of the problem with choosing one goal for the month is that I have about seven projects I'd like to finish in March. Anyone know the feeling?

Well, a package of fabric arrived yesterday for one of these projects, so surely that's a sign that it should be my One Monthly Goal.

Curated Quilts' issue 4 call for mini quilts is all about triangles and due April 1. I was drawn to the sherbet tones, not my normal palette, for this challenge. I don't have a firm plan yet of what I'll make, but the fabric is in hand. There's lots of time for you to join in on this challenge. You can see all the details and current submissions at Curated Quilts.

 

Here I am visiting my i Mini quilt in the Curated Quilts booth at QuiltCon (more about my trip soon!). i Mini was my submission to the Minimalist Quilt Challenge and was selected to appear in issue 3.

 

I'm linking up to March OMG on Elm Street Quilts.

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!
