5 quilt June 2024 report

last report June, 3, 2024

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. My top priority this year are the quilts in the to be quilted closet.

I love to piece. I've noticed that a quilt lives a long time in the ufo closet for one of two reasons. Borders and quilting. I can almost piece a quilt in the same amount of time it takes to go from borders to finishing. And there were, are, so many inspirational quilts available to do.

I finished 6 ufos in June.

In June I wanted to finish 2 quilts In the 'to be quilted closet' before I did any other UFOs. I did the two I planned for June. I finished....

1. maple leaves - finished which I gave to a dear friend

64 x72

2. love jelly roll - My one monthly goal for June - is finished

48 x 52

I worked on these older Ufos to finish them

1. scrappy mountain majesties is finished

65 x72

2. strip weave finished

56 x 68

1. cathedral stars - It is an older ufo from 2016, a Bonnie hunter pattern. the top is finished and sent to the to be quilted closet.

windy day

2. scrappy twirl new in March - I have all the blocks pieced or so I thought. I want it to be bigger and will add a few more blocks and will start the rows. I am really dragging my feet on this one. That is what happens when I didn't have a plan at the start.

3. garlic knots - I have started building the borders while I am joining the rows. I cut many of the pieces for the sashings and borders last year for the rainbow scrap challenge according to the color of the month. It has been really nice to have the pieces ready to go.

corner blocks

4. dark strings needed a border- from string quilt revival book - finished and sent to the to be quilted closet.

5. lozenges are the 2014 quiltville leader/ ender challenge- I have all the blocks and need to assemble the quilt top

love jelly roll finish

I found the pattern for this quilt on a blog from hideaway girl in 2020. I started piecing in 2022 with a homemade jelly roll as part of my 5 quilt project. and it was ready for quilting in April 2022. It has waited in the to be quilted closet until June this year. I made it my one monthly goal for June to finish it as part of my 5 quilt project. I chose this quilt as my one monthly goal for June and it is finished.

48 x 52 = 7 yards

5 quilts April 13, 2022

My 5 quilts progress report. My last report April 4th

1. Rainbow scrap challenge - pink - I made waffle stamp blocks in yellow for March, yes March. I was behind making these.

2. Every which way- I added one border with fabric from the box and this one is officially sent to the "to be quilted" vault

3. rhododendren mystery - hunter - I have all the block B finished- Next, I need to make setting triangles with the hourglasses.

4. Love jelly roll This is the 4th jelly roll used for the year. I am aiming for 12. I have added the last round of fabric to this quilt and I am calling it done. it is 48 x50. It will make a great donation quilt. Spring is here and it is either raining or windy. I will piece a back and prepare the binding and it will go into the vault to wait it's turn for quilting.

5. DSP9- I had a box of 9 patches that I had set aside to make disappearing 9 patches. The top is together, but, I didn't think to plan the 2 sides that are without the print fabric - decision time.

5. wonderland holiday runner I used a random number generator for this older UFO - I need to find it and see what it needs

I have added Boho heart back into the list for 5 quilts or it won't get made.

We found this lovely lavender colored flower next to our tulip tree. Does anyone know what it is?

MY next on the longarm of my own quilts in the 'to be quilted' closet. I am not getting ahead on this. I now have 42 in my pile.

5 quilts April 4, 2022

My 5 quilts progress report. My last report March 21

1. Rainbow scrap challenge - pink- I cut and sewed all the yellow hunter's star blocks for March.

and I started with pink for April with candy blocks

2. I used a random number generator and I opened the box for an older ufo called 'every which way' by gigis thimble that I started in 2016. It looks like the top is made and just needs borders. There is enough fabric left to make them. I really don't remember where or how I started this one. But, it is cute.

3. rhododendren mystery - hunter - I have started block B - I am sewing the center part and will add the framework when the centers are done. There are a lot of the little hourglass units. I cut the neutral squares, and garnet squares I will need.

4. Love jelly roll This is the 4th jelly roll used for the year. I am aiming for 12. I don't really like making this quilt. So, I have set the goal to add a round each time I work on it. It is taking a little longer than I had hoped.

5. DSP9- I had a box of 9 patches that I had set aside to make disappearing 9 patches. After I cut them, I was thinking I would just put them in an orphan box, but I didn't. I started sewing them with all the same orientation into rows. And I liked them better. 3 rows of 3 so far.

MY next on the longarm of my own quilts in the 'to be quilted' closet. I am not getting ahead on this. I now have 43 in my pile.

1. shine -on the frame - quilted - trimmed -binding done - finished here - hooray

customer quilt time pause

2. bricks in the barnyard -found - back- binding

3. tiger, tiger

5 quilts march 21, 2022

My 5 quilts progress report. my last 5 quilts report march 7, 2022

1. Rainbow scrap challenge - yellow/gold - I am catching up hunters star blocks in red and aqua and I am just about done, maybe 5 left to do.

2. full stop quilt that Angela is doing for the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy.-

This quilt is officially retired to the "to be quilted" closet

I used a random number generator and I will be opening the box for an older ufo called every which way by gigis thimble

3. rhododendren mystery - hunter - all rhodo clue 6 is done. I have some cutting to do with clue 7 before I can begin to make block B

4.. basket blocks from 2014- This quilt is officially sent to the "to be quilted" closet, too

I used a random number generator for the next UFO to fill this spot- I had a box of 9 patches that I had set aside to make disappearing 9 patches. I thought they were all the same size, but, they aren't even close. Most of these are scraps from the 90s and were given to me in a scrap bag.

there are 21 with 4 1/2 in squares

5 or 6 with 3 inch and 5 inch squares

I took these to Friday sew and just cut them. I tried rearranging them, and I just don't like them, yet

5. use a jelly roll - Love jelly roll This is the 4th jelly roll used for the year. I am aiming for 12. I don't like making this 'simple' jelly roll quilt. It is the same process as adding borders only 4 each round. I like the look of it, but, not the slow construction. After Friday group sew I was ready to pitch it, but, I am setting a goal to just add one round at a time. It will take longer, but, I won't be bored with it.

5. Next on my UFO list is an older UFO from the 90s. I bought vintage blocks and was hand quilting them. It is time to unbox them and make decisions. I am not sure I can find everything to keep hand quilting them, so we will decide.

6. wonderland holiday runner - Christmas - I don't remember this so I will have to find the box and make more decisions

MY next on the longarm of my own quilts in the 'to be quilted' closet. I am not getting ahead on this. I now have 43 in my pile. I keep finishing UFOs on the 5 quilt list and then there are more in the 'to be quilted' closet....

1.. Christmas sparkle- on the frame - quilted - trimmed- binding done - finished hooray

2. shine -on the frame - quilted - trimmed

3. bricks in the barnyard -found

5 quilts march 7, 2022

My 5 quilts progress report.

1. Rainbow scrap challenge - yellow/gold I am working on my hole in the barn blocks. I didn't think I was going to add these this year, but, I did. SO, I am catching up red from January, and aqua from February.

I used adding machine tape to see if I like it. Yes, I did, but it was a pain in the neck, so, I thought I could eyeball 2 1/2 inches and just started sewing long strips. Much better.

2. full stop quilt that Angela is doing for the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy.- I joined a few rows at open sew with my Friday group.

3. rhododendren mystery - hunter - I have half of the first block sewn. I am having trouble matching points - so discouraging. I am not sure how, or what I did wrong that the squares are not matching the angle point on most of them.

4. basket blocks from 2014- I used a random number generator for the next UFO to fill this spot- This quilt was a buck a block from a store in Indy in 2014. I loved the colors and fabrics so much so that I bought the finishing kit, too. So, the monthly blocks were just the baskets. I am not sure why it has been a Ufo for so long, but, it needs finishing. I need to trim the setting triangles and add borders. It is smaller than I usually make, so it will be quicker to finish.
