April UFO Finish.

April is almost gone, and I am happy to report that my April UFO is complete!

Prairie Gathering, a block of the month from Pam Buda is finished and in the quilting que. You can check out this pattern and many more great designs at Pam's Website, Heartspun Quilts.

I will am linking up my finished UFO's at Patchwork Times, where you can see many more great projects. I am also awaiting the release of the May UFO, so I can get going on that one. 

Have a great week!

Design Wall

With my April UFO complete, this week on my design wall are the flying geese for Union Blues. This will take awhile as there are so many of them.

My friend Sandi over at Kwiltnkats gifted me with pieces to make the Dawns Early Light block.

Dawns Early Light is a block in Quiltmaker's 100 blocks Magazine. It was designed by

 Bonnie Hunter. Sandi gave me enough string blocks to make enough blocks for the entire quilt. All I will need to add are the half square triangles, which I have some left from another project that I will use. Looking forward to putting these blocks together in between other projects.

A finish for this week. Prairie Gathering is complete and will be placed in the quilting que. This beauty is large, measuring 88x100, and was almost too large to get it all in the picture. I am very happy with the way it turned out and will be looking forward to getting it quilted.

A finish and an addition to the stash this week.
First up the finish: Bulls Eye.

This will be added to the Quilting Que. Next up the adds for the is week. A trip to Beverly's yielded the perfect fabrics below for the baseball quilt I will be making for a new nephew. The wood grain fabric on the top was perfect for the bats in the quilt.

This will be the next project up this month after I finish Prairie Gathering, which is my UFO for April. Below are updated numbers. I can only claim the backing and binding for the Bulls Eye quilt, as these blocks were won from Sunshine Quilt Guild.

Used this week: 4 yards.

Used YTD:  55.0 yards.

Have a great week all. See more reports at Patchwork Times.

March UFO Finish

Here is my March UFO Finish, Tarted up Pineapple. Started in a class at Road to California in January 2017. This pattern by Janna Thomas was made using her Bloc Loc Ruler. If you have not tried any of these rulers, you can check them out here. I own quite a few of them and really like them.

Pineapple Table runner completed

I made mine a tablerunner size with two of the larger blocks and 4 smaller blocks. It is now quilted and binding finished
