2019 Finish-along - Q3 proposed finishes

It's that time of year again - where I optimistically declare my intentions to finish all the WIPs and link some overly ambitious lists to the Finish-along linky :)

This quarter I've split them into two groups; the 'good chance of getting finished' WIPs and the 'not very likely to get finished' WIPs.

The first group includes some projects nearing completion and those that I have been actively working on recently.

Top left: Low volume plus quilt - this one is assembled and ready to baste
Top middle: Double dash quilt I'm testing for Alyce of Blossom Heart Quilts
Top right: Freckles quilt - A project I started a long time ago
Middle left: Quilt block cook book sampler - I've made about 10 blocks and am thinking of making a smaller charity quilt
Centre: Shield maiden quilt - I quilt I started this year to get better at making curves
Middle right: Kinship fusion sampler - I'm trying to keep up with the 100 blocks in 100 days QAL and am on track so far
Bottom left: Alpine quilt - my bee project from this year
Bottom middle: Daydream quilt - my B&C bee project from last year
Bottom right: Double star quilt - my bee project from last year)

The next group are projects that I don't think I'm likely to finish, but want to list anyway (I like to keep my options open). They include some long term projects (e.g. EPP projects) and some boy quilts I'd like to make (for my boys and for the Very Snuggle Quilts program).

Top left: Ripples quilt made from upcylced denim
Top middle: Sunday morning quilt in pretty pinks that has been on my bucket list for a while
Top right: Broken Dishes quilt (pattern by Jen Kingwell) I'm making from scraps
Middle left: DS quilt - I've cut out a few hundred 3.5" squares of different Denyse Schmidt prints and am planning to make a quilt just like this one
Centre: Rose star quilt made from my stash of OOP Lizzy House
Middle right: Icecream Soda quilt (pattern by Tales of Cloth) I'm making from my DS scraps
Bottom left: A quilt from the book 'Growing Up Modern' using some robot fabric I've had in the stash for ages

Bottom right: Another quilt from the book 'Growing Up Modern' made in dinosaur prints

Last quarter I only finished three projects so I'm really hoping for a higher completion rate this quarter.

A new quilt for Harriet

My little ones are growing up too fast and have started to outgrow their cots. Bigger beds need bigger quilts so I've been busy working on a few toddler bed sized quilts.

For Harriet I made  a modified version of the Scrap Happy Rails quilt by Crazy Mom Quilts from her book No Scrap Left Behind. I upsized my blocks to 13.5" finished to get the finished size I wanted (41" wide, perfect for backing with a single WOF) and cut all my strips the same width so I could piece it more efficiently with strip sets.

I quilted it with a simple serpentine stitch with my walking foot and bound it with a B&W squiggly stripe. It was super fun and super easy to make. Plus, I think it's safe to say that she likes it.

I had enough strip-pieced sections leftover to make a second quilt, which I finished and dontated to the Very Snuggly Quilts Program. I'm linking up with the Q2 2019 Finish-along linky as this was one of my proposed finishes for this quarter.

I'm also linking up with the Elm Street Quilts July OMG and sharing my goal for this month: to make a quilt for her twin brother Gregory's bed. At the moment I'm leaning towards using this Mixed Bag layer cake that has been in my stash for ages. I think the bright colours will be a good fit for a young boy.
