10 Quilts finished, so far in 2013

I'm trying to be a "little" fancy.  I made a slide show of the quilts I've finished so far this year.

Ten quilts, so far.  I wonder how many I'll finish this year.  I just picked up two from my long arm quilter, ready for binding.  I have one started on the cutting table, but I'm leaving for NYC, on Sunday, so I don't think a lot will be done, until June.

Autumn Maples Leaves Quilt ~ 2013 Blogger's Quilt Festival

My goal was to make it look as if the Autumn Maple Leaves had been scattered randomly over the quilt top.

This is a close-up of the Maple Leaves pantograph, quilted by Janiel Miller.

The quilt measures 94" x 94".  It would work on either a Queen or King size bed. 

It's listed in my etsy shop, here.

I always piece my quilt backs, and this one is no exception.  I had a fat eighth stack Lizzie House's Castle Peeps.  The prints that didn't make the cut for the quilt top, were used on the quilt back.

Mostly White with Red Patchwork Quilt.

 I think this is such a fun quilt, now it's ready to go to a new home.  I've listed it here.

The Feather Quilt

This is my entry to Amy's Blogger's Quilt Festival.

I like how different it looks, when it's turned the other way!

I finally got the binding on this quilt.  Life just keeps getting in the way.  I've listed it in my etsy shop, here.

In the mail.

I put these in the mail, last week, for the three lovely ladies who signed up for my Handmade Pay It Forward.  I posted the PIF, in August, I had 365 days to complete it, but I felt late!  These are 10" square hotpads.  I used a lot of the selvadges I've been saving.  I thought selvadge hotpads would be perfect for quilters.  I added the bamboo slotted spoons, because the hotpads, didn't seem like enough.  Anyway, I sure hope they like them.

WIPs need binding

In the past month I've picked up four quilts from Janiel, and put them aside.  It's so great that my fabulous long arm quilter lives only a couple of miles from me, within walking distance!  Life and my little Christmas project kept getting in the way.  Now, my goal is to get the binding on these four quilts, before I start my next scrappy project.  Bob and I play cards each Tuesday evening and dominoes each Thursday evening, and next week is our turn to host both games at our home.  You know what that means, a major cleaning!

When I sorted my scraps I ended up with a whole stack of 2 1/2" WOF scraps, those will be my next focus, I'm thinking something like this:

That'll be for next week, after the Game Nights are over.
