To the Finish Part Quatre

The fourth quarter of Quilter in the Gap's 2012 Finish-A-Long begins soon, and it's pretty obvious by glancing around my sewing room what should be on my list.

Christmas lap quilt - It's simple piecing and construction, I just need to get to it. I have the 9 center blocks done; 16 more outer blocks to go. And I foresee some organic straight line quilting, just like the coordinating tree skirt.

Modern Crosses quilt - Everything's cut out. Again, I just need to get sewing. Even the backing for this one is planned and just waiting to be pieced. I anticipate sending this one to the long-armer due to its size.

Mod Pop - I'm not quite behind on the QAL, but if I don't get busy I will be. At least this one will be baby quilt size, but still. I'm letting those curves intimidate me, and I really need to stop that.

And since it seems I always add one more just in case, I'd really like to pull together the Binary blocks made by my Modern Blocks Bee. Though the mosaic shows just the blocks posted in flickr, I actually have 11 blocks, so it wouldn't take much to whip up the last one and piece the top. I'm not really thinking about too creative of a layout, but we'll see for sure when I get there.

I think this line up will be plenty challenging considering all the littles on my wip list. I better turn my machine on and start sewing!
