Kelli’s finish and Spring to the Finish….

Kelli was home over the weekend and quilted this lap size quilt….

It isn’t bound yet but it sure looks nice.  It’s a disappearing nine patch design made with a Moda marble, a brown and Tranquility from Moda.  It’s a great little, quick quilt, perfect for a wedding present when you don’t know if the couple is it to quilts or not.  This is 63″ x 63″.

On another note:
Tallgrass Prairie Studio Spring to the Finish Challenge wasn’t enough to get me caught up with my MANY projects….goodness knows I needed a little motivation to finish a few things around here..but the challenge wasn’t enough for me.

Here’s what I was hoping to get to:

1.  Summer Wall Hanging-no progress on this
2.  Tag a Long Schnibble-FINISHED
3.  X-rated Schnibble-FINISHED
4.  Country Threads Reproduction-quilt-FINISHED
5.  Country Threads Reproduction-only cut out
6.  Lincoln Schnibble-Top finished, Needs to be quilted
7.  Oz Bear Paw-Top finished, Needs to be quilted
8.  Maverick Star Quilt-Top finished, Needs to be quilted
9.  Pinwheel Quilt a Long-Top finished and quilted needs to be bound
10.  Short Story Schnibble-FINISHED
11.  Present for someone-not even started
12.  May Schnibble of the Year-FINISHED
13.  Leader and Ender Quilt-MUCH more progress but not finished.

…all totaled that  is just four finishes.  I would have completed a few more but I decided completing the Quilt of Valor was more important.  I did keep up with my three blocks of the month and have the blocks ready to be sewn together for another quilt.  I know it’s a fantasy but I keep hoping now that the kiddos are out of school, they can pick up more of the lawn mowing and I can get a bit more sewing done….oh, I love to sew.
