5 quilts May 29, 2023

last report April 28, 2023

I try to work on these 5 quilts until they are done. Their turn in the UFO closet is over, and, they need to be finished one way or another. I decided that for 2023, rather than work a little on each one at a time, I would concentrate on just one. I still use the list to plan and look ahead.

Ok, confession, I have not stuck to my 5 quilts very well, I have continued to work on them, but my resolve to stick to them only has not worked. I have wandered into other fun projects. But, I can feel the overwhelm starting and I need get back on track.

This month the numbering is a little wonky. I have finishes that I haven't summarized and new ones to add.

1. wensleydale a jenn kingwell pattern - I have cut 20 - 25 so far. I have made 5 or so. They are much bigger than I expected. I like them better than I thought I would, but I am not thrilled with how well they are fitting together even with acrylic templates. I have to bribe myself to work on them. It doesn't help that I will have to cut again- yuk

2. trip around the world class- It was a great class and fun day

mine

3. Hand me down -the top is done - moved to the 'to be quilted' closet but soon

3. wonky courthouse steps 2 is finished

3. Saturday soire block of the month. This an older UFO from 2013. I have been working on the setting kits and I have part 1 done. Part 2 appears to be sashings.

4. new kaliedescope I have cut strips and need to cut them into kaleidoscope wedges

5. beige 4 patch quilt -I decided to turn this into a piece for backing. - gone

6. rectangle wrangle I thought this would make a good portable project, But, I mostly sew a couple blocks every morning. I have all ( 42) uphill blocks finished. Next are the downhill blocks. It will take a few to break my groove and start another groove.
