Quilting like a Maniac- Relaxing through Quilting.

Doing well so far with two months down and 4 of my UFOs finished.  I am trying to do two at a time since my list is so darn long. Every year I join the UFO 2020 Challenge from the American Patchwork and Quilting group.   Every year they ask for a list of 12 UFOs and then they randomly draw a number for you to start that quilt.  It's easy and I can still analyse each one but lets the APQ do the choosing.  So here's my list and what month is for March: PROJECT STATUS BEFORE STATUS AFTER 1  Conversation Quilt  All material gathered, and two cut, but none sewn.  Suppose to look like this: 2.  Sew Incredible Seasons BOM 2019 JANUARY   3   Flamingo Barn Door for our Dining room using the SewKindofWonderful ruler.   Have all the fabric, and some of it cut.  Need to start sewing. 4  Zen Chic Sky. February   Have the pattern, have the geese all made, need to quilt it.  Started in

I'm so pleased to say that I have finished my goal!  My goal was the pattern you see on the side from   Brigette Heitlan -  https://www.brigitteheitland.de/  who has gorgeous modern quilts.  This one is also in her book.  It's called Sky.  A wonderful pattern using 5" squares, and making flying geese.  She uses a trick that I explain in my original post and my challenge statement here.   My quilt did end up differently and it is on my wall exactly where I said it would be on the wall upstairs in my loft.  It's long, more rectangular then the square pattern.  I used the method of how to make the geese.  Did tons of them, then started to put them in rows, with some blanks in between.  But after that it was a free for all........  I placed them here and there with blank spaces in between and this is what it ended up liking (look below).  This is where I started at.   Some of the quilting was done, but definitely not all.  I do my own quilting and I enjoy it so

I had the pleasure of a great partner for the Modern Quilt Guild Online exchange.  Her name is Isabella from Florida.  And boy is she ever talented!!!!! The rules are simple (although I didn't follow them to the letter - sorry....).  You design something for your partner from 12 x 12" to 24" square.  My partner did 24" and it's perfect for my table which is exactly where it went right away!!!! Even my husband loves it and demanded that it went right away on my table, stating that the other table cloth that I made was ugly.  And that's where it's been since Saturday when I picked it up from the mail  You have got to see this closer... She quilted in solid lines.  The background is what is so fantastic, little words, but the entire thing looks like morris code.  And I looked it up to make sure  what it meant and I got it!!! QUILTER Wonderful job Isabella!!! Love it so much!  Thank you.  I hope in return you like your design whic

OK, things are a little crazy.  First my machine breaks down and then it takes two weeks to get it back because of snow.  Then I not only get it back but I get a spare machine from Joannes in the states, for emergency.  Now I have both machines and I get so sick I'm feverish in bed for close to a week, and all weekend I might add.  So do I get a lot done?  No, but I do get enough done to be able to meet the deadline for the Modern Quilt Swap.  My partner in this is Isabelle from Florida.  I'm waiting for her quilt (from 12" to 24" square) and I think she'll be surprised with mine.  I hope she likes it!! Did a little extra.  Although the first one one modern it was not square, it was 12" wide and 36" long.  I can't wait to see if she's happy with it or not.  But because it was not following the rules I did send a 12 1/2 by 12 1/2" square.  It's not modern but so cute and sooooo  Vancouver.  I don't know if she's looking at this

I started this one before Christmas and it's one that's on my AQM lists as well.  So this is the goal!!!  The pattern is from   Brigette Heitlan -  https://www.brigitteheitland.de/  who has gorgeous modern quilts.  This one is also in her book.  It's called Sky.  A wonderful pattern using 5" squares, and making flying geese.  Her trick is wonderful, cut the 5" squares in half.  then cut the rectangles down to 4 1/2".  Then cut 5" squares for the sides, and that makes sure that you have that 1/4 inch on top to make sure your points are there.  I can't give you pictures because it's her pattern, but once you do this one, you're solid for flying geese. My quilt is different (of course).  I wanted it for part of my wall upstairs in my loft.  It's long, more rectangular then the square pattern.  So I used the method of how to make the geese.  Did tons of them, then started to putting them rows, with some blanks in between.  But after th
