2016 Finish a Long - Quarter 1


Well, in an attempt to get back into the blogging, I figured what better way than to join back into the Finish a Long! I participated  back when it began, but got lazy over the past 2 years by partially committing, not keeping myself accountable, and then completely not participating last year! This year, I'm determined to stay on task. I know that in the years I participated I actually tended to finish those projects, versus jumping around as i've done in more recent years (which is why I found myself with so many unfinished quilt tops this January and why I was feverishly basting and quilting during my nesting mode 38-40 weeks pregnant!)



This year it is set up a bit differently and there are 9 hosts from around the globe - 
These ladies are sure to have their hands full this year as I know each year the number of participants jumps tremendously. If you haven't participated before I definitely recommend checking it out and joining in on the fun! The ladies have also set up an Instagram account @finishalong and are using the hashtag #2016fal over there as well. You can add your own list to the linky party for quarter 1 HERE

Here goes nothing with my list..

1.  Complete Ruby, Pearl and Opal quilt - just needs basting, quilting and binding


2. Mon Ami quilt - this is a commission quilt that is in the very early stages


3. Polka Dot Beach Blanket quilt - this one needs basting, quilting, binding and a handle attachment for easy transportation

4. Swoon Sixteen Quilt - This is another commission project that needs to be finished this quarter, i've pulled fabrics but thats the extent of it!

I'm going to leave my list with 4 this time as I'm sure a newborn will be taking up a lot of my time as well and i'm thinking this might even be adventurous!

Fingers crossed for a successful first quarter! Don't forget to join in on the fun and add your link, you have until the end of this week!

Finish a Long - Quarter 1

Rhonda over at Quilter in the Gap has an awesome project going on to start 2012
She's decided to organize a quarterly"Finish-a-Long"


The concept being that you create a post about what you'd like to finish in that quarter
You link up the post, then work on the projects you want to complete
at the end of the quarter you link back up showing your completed projects
If you are able to complete the projects you set out to do, you're eligible to win some awesome prizes!!
Seriously, if the concept doesn't keep you on task, add in prizes.. that should do it! :)

Alright, so here goes.
My list includes the following..

1. Sash, baste, quilt and bind my parents Swoon quilt (on hold until mom decides on borders)
my blocks are completed, now for the not so fun part..

2. Baste, quilt and bind 2 baby quilts  DONE

(Made these New Years day - super fast and simple.. more on that in another post)

3. Complete new tutorial (!!)
4. Complete do. good blocks in given month
     (December) (January) (February) (March)
5. Complete SewHappyGeek's QAL Sampler (stay up to date on it)
     (week 1) (week 2) (week 3) week 4) (week 5) (week 6) (week 7) (week 8) (week 9) (week 10) (week 11) (week 12)

Alright, that should do it for now.. 
I'd rather get all of these things accomplished than list 3-4 more and get none of them done!

What are you planning to finish this quarter??
:)
