Weekend results after a storm.

This weekend I finished some UFO's that are more than two years old and I couldn't be happier.  This quilt was started with Aurifil .  This quilt is queen size.  By the way there is a 2016 Aurifil Designer of the Month BOM going on right now if you want to join that for a new quilt. Quilted all the center piece, made it look 3D. Look at the quilting.  It's all over. I also created some pillow cases for the bed.  They match the inside of the quilt.  I'm so proud  :) And finally a couple more Splendid Sampler blocks (which are only 6 and half inches in size).  That makes over 25 so far.  I'm really enjoying choosing which ones I want to complete because I'm behind so many so I don't need to keep up.  Two appliques and one paper piece.  I enjoy the paper piecing. Finally, I have finished my aunts place mats to go with the the table runner.  So everything is doing very well.

4th Quarter Fun!!!!

Well the 4th quarter is the last quarter, and this one goes into Christmas.  I'm hooking this up to Leanne at "She Can Quilt" for the 2016 Finish A Long. I have a couple of quilts that I need to make for gifts, but I also have a number of quilts that I want to complete because after this year, they'll be over 3 years old, and that just doesn't sit well with me.  Remember, I am a fabricaholic.... So what are my goals?  There are many, some that I did not finish the last quarter, some that I have all the material for, and it's just sitting there, and some BOM's that really need to be done, so I can start new ones..  I'm still going to do the BOM's of this year, listed below: Midnight Garden (6 done, goal the last to do and then finish the quilt before Christmas) Splendid Samplar - goal another 20 blocks.  That will make 40 six inch blocks, possibly enough to make a lap quilt.   The Canadian Mystery Quilt by Shania Sunga Designs.  Will hav
