And time to make my to do or want to do list for April. But first I want to show you my last 2 finishes for March.
This is a little quilt I made for my daughter, Kim, for having us over for Easter. I had bought her a standing quilt frame for Christmas. This was from a new pattern I bought by Cheri Payne called "A Basket Full". The actual basket was smaller and I enlarged it on my copier. I hand appliqued and hand quilted it. Now I've got to make one for myself.
This is a little quilt I made after seeing an antique doll quilt on Pinterest. Then I also found the quilt in a multitude of quilt books. It is made up of 2.5" squares, 1.5" squares and 1.5" x 2.5" rectangles. It worked up quickly and I hand quilted it.
Now for my April List:
BOM'S
1. Joined at the Hip, March and April's blocks.
2. Country Threads
3. Seasonal Applique
4. Almost Amish, March and April
6. Patchwork Posse Winter Wonderland
7. Pat Sloan Quilt a Long (I know I can't believe it either. Another BOM)
On Going
1. Log Cabin Bow Ties
2. Scrappy Trip Around the world. I need to make 12 more blocks. So I hope to get this finished and quilted this month.
3. Ashley's Plaid quilt. I have 7 blocks made and 23 more to make.
4. I need to make another cup cake quilt.
UFO Busting
1. Plaid Jacobs Ladder. This was a sew a long from 2011 with Freda. I would love to get at least the top put together. So I need to make a few more blocks.
2. Floribunda. This was a Bonnie Hunter SAL from 2011. I never really liked
what I did but one of my daughters did so I think I will finish it for her for Christmas.
3. I think I should make this #1. It is my Primitive Primer. I still only need one block to make. So I will try and make this a priority.
Now if that isn't enough.....
1. I signed up for a Small Quilt Swap at Small Quilt Talk. I have 2 months to finish it.
2. My monthly Small Quilt Talk Challenge. This month we need to make a quilt using the Contrary Wife block.
3. I'm making a baby quilt for my Nephew and his Wife. The are expecting Son #3.
This is what I started on Saturday. It is a Trip Around the World using just 6 fabrics. The prints are from Riley Blake. I am using 2" strips so it is a smaller block that the Scrappy one I am making.
4. I got a couple of Sally Post Blocks prepped and started working on one of them.
5. And I started hand quilting my Henrietta Whiskers quilt. I am quilting it using #12 perle cotton and doing a big stitch.
How's that for a list? 18 projects on my list. It looks daunting, however the first 6 are just one block. The next 4 are work on when time permits. I think I can make a good dent in my list. Only time will tell.
Well I better get going so I can get some of this done. Hope you are having a great start to spring. Since it is April Fools Day...Mother Nature pulled a good one. It SNOWED this morning. No accumulation...Thank goodness. But none the less it snowed.
Hugs, Cathy
