x and + quilt - I began making and swapping these blocks over a year ago, and kept hoping for a third round. But when that didn't materialize by the time I saw Instagram's #xandplusalong this February, I decided I better just get started and make more blocks for myself. So I had 40, and have 40 more cut out. This finish is my number one goal for this next quarter.
Mid-Century Modern quilt - One thing about participating in bees - you usually start accumulating blocks. So I have just received the last of 13 Hugs & Kisses blocks, am thinking of making a couple more, and then need a design plan to pull them into a quilt.
Lucky Star mini quilt - I am loving making these stars, but honestly don't think I can wait until the end of the year to use any of them, so I've decided to make a mini quilt. I have a tentative plan and some background fabric chosen, and look forward to moving forward on this one.
This is kind of random, but then again the perfect time to mention the Projects at a Glance sheets I came across over on from Pixels to Patchwork. Designed as a way to list all your projects for a single month, I am finding it much more helpful than my usual assorted lists. There are also Individual Project Sheets available if that is helpful to you. Just fyi . . .
Linking up with Leanne/shecanquilt and the Finish-A-Long Q2 linkup.
Your stars are great- they will make a wonderful mini! And of course I have a personal interest in those low volume blocks! Good luck with your list!
ReplyDeleteThe stars really are pretty - good luck with your list Debbie.
ReplyDeleteI love your plans...I am thinking about doing the FAL this time, I was too slow to join in last time. The x and + blocks will be on my list too.
ReplyDeleteAll so pretty and an achievable list for you I think :)
ReplyDeleteThe x + quilt will be so amazing! I think with your mid century blocks you can set 13 on point. It would be HUGE however ; ) they look great together
ReplyDeleteOh great list! I do love seeing all those low volume blocks together, so pretty and unique!
ReplyDeletebeautiful projects Debbie. I just love how scrappy and colorful your x and + quilt is.
ReplyDeleteThe projects are all very nice Debbie. And I really think those bee blocks are playing very nicely together.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or did you change your blog layout? Did you used to have a left column? I like it!
Thanks for the link to the projects sheets. I just downloaded copies for myself. I've tried several organization methods without much success. These are different than things I've tried in the past.
ReplyDeleteWow! You have some pretty amazing projects going!
ReplyDeleteGreat list, Debbie! I think your x and plus quilt will deserve several extra-bold checks next to it once it is finished. Can't wait to see your Lucky Stars mini!
ReplyDeleteI love that Mid-Century Modern quilt, it is stunning!
ReplyDeletethose stars are so amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThe x blocks are lovely. The star blocks are beauties, good luck with that list.
ReplyDeleteThat looks totally do-able, good luck!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have a fun group of finishes to approach. I am loving how your hugs and kisses blocks look together!! I've been eyeing something like that myself, and seeing what you have in progress makes me that much more eager for it. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteFun to see all your FAL projects, ESP all of our MCMBee blocks in aggregate!
ReplyDeleteBTW, because of your recent blog post, I signed up for a cooking class at Sur La Table for macaroons. We'll have to compare notes!

Great projects, Debbie. . . you will probably be lying awake at night thinking about which one to finish first!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful projects!
ReplyDeleteI love your Xand+Along quilt. I'm glad I wasn't on Instagram when it started! I sure would have joined in, and then would be feeling guilty because i can't work on it. So glad you received all your MCMBee blocks. They look really good together. It will be fun to see the layout you settle on.
ReplyDeleteBoth of those sets of blocks are going to make the best quilts, and so will the beautiful stars. This is a great FAL list.
