Okay, I am giving the Finish-A-Long another go. First, as a way to be accountable and finish some projects and, second, as a way to get back to blogging in a small way. No promises on either!
So, here it goes:
No. 1: Lone Fir in the Fog
Quilting on “Lone Fir in the Fog” is finally underway
This project now has a title and is a holdover from my 1Q2016 FAL goals (yikes!). Started in a workshop with the incomparable Gwen Marston, I am finally quilting it. It will be finished with a faced binding (or at least that is the current plan).
No. 2: Embrace Chaos
Embrace Chaos quilt top hangs on the railing
Embrace Chaos is the result of a Seattle MQG workshop with Libs Elliot. Using dice to create block placement randomness, I followed Libs’ technique and expanded the quilt to sofa size. The color (or colour, for Libs) is inspired by a Target pillow. This one is with Dionne (dinglebobbins) for quilting. We came up with a great quilting plan and I cannot wait to get it back and start binding it.
No. 3: Embrace Chaos Cast-Offs and Extras Pillow
Extras and cut-offs from Embrace Chaos make a coordinating pillow
Do you always make just enough blocks for your project? Not me. I am one of those “make extras and use the cut-offs” kind of people. Making Embrace Chaos yielded a few extra blocks and many half-square triangle cut-offs. What to do? Make a pillow, of course.
No. 4: Seattle MQG 2017 Block of the Month
Progress on my Seattle MQGÂ Minimal Day Sampler BOM 2017
My Seattle MQG Minimal Day Sampler Block of the Month 2017 is definitely my aspirational project for this quarter. As you can see by the pattern page place markers, I have not finished all the blocks and have a few to do. This project has been so much fun and I have been exploring a low contrast, quiet color palette. At a minimum, I plan to have an update for the 2Q2018 FAL list post.
Wish me luck!
Once a Wingnut...Always a Wingnut 
What a great list! A couple near done, a small one, and an aspirational one….I DO wish you luck! Really anxious to see your Lone Fir in the Fog AND the quilting plan you & Dionne cooked up for Embrace Chaos. p.s. Welcome back to blogging!!
Thanks, Debbie! “Lone Fir in the Fog” is going to be one of those “looks bigger on Instagram” quilts. 🙂
Hi! A new follower here. I am trying to get back to blogging too and zeroing in on quilting. Your work and your list are inspiring. Good luck!
Welcome back! It looks like you have projects in different stages which I think will contribute to your successful finishes!😊
Thanks! I have way too many projects in different stages! 😀
I definitely look forward to seeing these projects progress. 🙂
Thanks, Yvonne!
You can do it! Great to see your work again.
Thank you! I’m looking forward to these finishes.
Good to see you back again ! Some great nearly finished there . I particularly like the left over quilt
Thank you, Helen! I’m looking forward to finishing that pillow and cuddling with it and the coordinating quilt on the couch!
Great projects, I hope you will be inspired to finish or at least make good progress on them. Thank you for joining us in the Finish-A-Long!
Me, too! Thank you.
