My weekly update on project progress.

Finishes

Not a single finish in the last week.  But in my defense, my brother-in-law got married, and that cut into my sewing time. Ok… totally not an excuse, I just wanted to share that my husband’s brother got married. You can check out pictures and such in yesterday’s post.

Finished Quilt Tops:

The same three quilt tops are waiting to be quilted.  I feel really lazy not having done anything with them.  At least I have batting at the house.  All I need to do now is get to quilting or get some money saved to send them to the quilter.  That last part is harder than you think. I keep wanting to spend my quilting budget on new fabric.

Quilt Tops in Progress:

Still no progress on the Impromptu-along quilt that I started last year as part of an ImAGingerMonkey sew-along.  I keep finding other projects I need to be working on instead.

This quilt top is still about 54″ square. I am happy to report that I did decide how I want to “finish” it. I got myself another 1.5 yards of the bird print, and I’m planning to run birds along the top and bottom of the quilt.  It shouldn’t take long to finish once I get back to it.  I just got distracted by yet another new project.

No progress on my Christmas crazy quilt.  I haven’t felt much like doing any hand work lately.

Christmas Crazy Quilt

New this week is a gift quilt.  I can’t give you a lot of details on it, since it’s for a gift, but here’s a sneak preview.

    Really loving that sneak peek, Andrea! Can’t wait till you can share some details on that one. It’s gorgeous!

      Thanks so much Lorna! I’m dying not being able to show it to anyone. That has to be the worst thing about making gift quilts.

    Wow you certainly have a lot in your WIP, good luck in finding time to quilt, it’s so hard when there’s so much beautiful material and patterns to grab your attention and start something new 🙂

      It’s all I can do to not start something new every time I go down to sew. I’m hoping not to start anything new until I finish up a few of these WIPs.

    Good luck with your projects! I like the B&W squares the most. Thanks for your comment on my blog post. I added the original fabric for my kaleidoscopes. Good suggestion! Enjoy your weekend!
