Quilting Projects

Hey, new year, old list of quilting WIPs with PICTURES

I finished our wedding quilt. I just need to take better pictures of it to show off. This is the back:


I was trying to figure out how many quilts I have finished this year and it has been more than I thought. Also, I am terrible at taking pictures of finished things.

1. My mom's quilt:


2. My sister's quilt:


3. Zach's cousin's baby quilt:


4. Almost the whole space invader quilt:


5. Zach's sister's fleece blanket


I am hoping to finish 6 quilts in the next year. I did four last year but I took long breaks from it. The ones in italics are the ones I am hoping to do.




Easy Finishes:

Zach's quilt:
I started quilting this in Billings. I am about 1/3 done. I just have to keep working on it.



Placemats:
For Zach's mom.

Sampler Quilt (My first quilt top):
I need to finish quilting and binding it. I have made slow progress on it. I am so darn close on this. It would be nice to get it out of my closet.

Space Invader Quilt:
I just have binding to finish. I should get that done before I use the binding for something else. Cutting the binding and ironing it will take no time and it would be awesome to get this done before the annual pre-con craziness.

Star Sampler:
This goes hand in hand with the Virtual Bee Quilt but I was making duplicates out of all the stars that I was making for others. I have 3 or 4 that are cut out but need to be sewn together. Once that is done it goes to the "finish in 2013" pile.

More work to be done:

Bird Quilt:
I just like the fabric and I started a quilt. It is all cut out and I should finish it before I hate the fabric. I am not sure who will get this quilt.

Hexie Quilt:
I make slow but steady progress on this. I have 45 flowers and need 200. It is a long road. I also think I am going to hand quilt this. Why? BECAUSE I AM CRAZY.



Virtual Bee Quilt:
I have 12 blocks but I want 24 total. I am putting this off until 2013/2014. Or I could just sew them together and be done with it. Hmm....



Half Triangle Quilt:
My aunt keeps sending me lots of fabric including a pack of rainbow fabric. I should work on the half square triangles that I have pinned but I need to cut more out.



Projects that I have the fabric but still need to start:

My cousin's baby's quilt:
I have picked out the pattern and have collected all the fabric. This is what I am going to work on after I get a couple of the upper ones done.



New Wave Quilt for Eric:
I didn't order enough fabric for the quilting bee so we ended up buying all new fabric. This is fine because the fabric I did get would be perfect for a quilt for Eric.

Kit from Bernina Sewing Shop:
I bought a kit with my leftover money from long-arm quilting. I don't know when I will start it but I have the fabric.

Zach's Sister's quilt:
I bought the fabric for this before people started getting pregnant. Now it is on the bottom of the heap.

Zach's other sister's baby quilt:
Due in June. Doesn't need to be big.

Beautiful - a lot of enviable work. And I don't just mean Sir Xerxes!
