Quilt Plans
1) Finish any UFOs
a. Cabin in the Woods
Currently being pieced (January)
b & c. Two baby quilts
Made from a 3-from-1 layer cake pattern for my granddaughter,
I cut the other two out but with no imminent need for baby quilts,
it was all set aside. Time to make them up for listing in the shop...
unless someone I know has a baby girl, of course.
d. "Kelley" by Edyta Sitar, A Season In Blue
Meant as a side-project but it's time to get it done.
e. "Farmer's Wife"
Started several years ago and not intended to be an
all-at-once finish but it got pushed aside when I started
selling quilts. I'm over halfway--more than in pic.
2) Charity quilt(s)
3) "Aspen" by Edyta Sitar, A Season In Blue
4) Wild & Goosey by Bonnie Hunter
What colors?
Can I make a variation of this from some of my trimmings/HST's?
6) "Scarlet Stars" by Kim Diehl--Simple Whatnots
7) Irish Chain(s) in green, maybe another in red/ivory
8) "Star Toss" Cindy Blackberg, Big Book of Favorite Scrap Quilts
This is the main one on the cover.
9) "Tracking Tradition" by Debbie Robbers
Red & White Quilts (Martingale)
This has been a to-do for several years.
10) "Slapdash" by Kim Diehl
Simple Double-Dipped Quilts
11) "A Dash of Plaid" by Kim Diehl
The Big Book of Quick To Finish Quilts
Saw this made up at a LQS and it is beautiful.
Fall quilts:
12) "Halloween-ish" by Susan Ache
Big Book of Favorite Scrap Quilts
Have lots of neutrals in small amounts. Must use up.
13) "Harvest Pumpkins" by Julie Hendricksen & Vickie Gerike
County Seat Quilts
I had a blast making this the first time. I recently picked up
a great background fabric for it so an encore is on the way.
14) Something with Primitive Gatherings flannel FQ set
This is a classic case of "saving fabric" but it's time to use it.
Christmas quilts:
15) "Christmas Vacation" by Susan Ache
The Big Book of Favorite Scrap Quilts
In reds or greens. This would check off the Irish Chain, too.
16) "Nestled in the Trees," Coach House Designs
17) "Peppermint Pines" by Erica Arndt
Made the above two, now planning a third for a gift
18) "Holiday Forest" by Edyta Sitar
As if I hadn't made enough of these already,
I still want to get a 5th done in blues/ivories.
