Star struck progress

Finally managed to get a few blocks done for a quilt I decided I needed to do because I wasn't seeing any progress on the other. The pattern is Star Struck by Bonnie Hunter and is available on her blog Quiltville. Blogspot.com. The stars will be in a few Bright colors and not all purple.

Table runner

This table runner is completely done: bound and labeled. While I pushed to finish the top and quilting in a day, the binding took a bit longer. Since my current show us not kid friendly, my TV time has been reduced to naptime and the hour between the boys' bedtime and mine.

Apparently my stack of rest hammocks looks yummy.

Vomit quilt progress

I'm slowly making progress on my vomit quilt, which was my January goal.

Leader ender challenge: Lozenges

Finally finished cutting my pieces for a lozenge quilt I'm doing for Bonnie Hunter's leader/ender challenge. That is 540 bricks at 3.5" by 6.5" and 2160 2" squares. I gave myself 10 minutes a day to cut them. And my mom sent me nearly 200 bricks.

January goal: revisited

Finally getting myself going on my vomit quilt again. It will be nice to be able to put something else on my design, or at least to have that option again.

Celtic Solstice in Purple and Blue

Well my April goal remains, unworked on. But on the plus side, I was able to start and finish my May goal between mid-February and the first weekend in April. This is Bonnie Hunter's Celtic Solstice 2014 Mystery. This is the second colorway in which I did it. This is the one for my Grandmother-in-law. My oldest loved helping me with the borders, and would continue to measure while I was cutting the next one.

This was my first pieced back. This was caused by necessity. I didn't have time to hunt down a corresponding back because I gave myself a crazy insane deadline to get it done by. I had just finished piecing the back when my longarming friend came to get it. She was kind enough to come pick it up, despite the fact that I was asking to have it back within a week so I could give it to Grandma when I saw her 8 days after I gave it to the longarmer. (Thank again Konda.) I was really glad to have some jelly rolls and fat quarter bundles of these fabrics because I didn't have enough coordinating for the back otherwise. I'm rather pleased with how it turned out.

I bound it in yellow. And I am absolutely in love with the butterflies it was quilted with. I really like butterflies right now.

Easter

Nate was so excited to look for Easter eggs this year.

We each had a different color to look for. Kyle's was yellow and Nate helped him. Nate's was blue.

Kyle was not sure what to make of it all.

Scrappy Mountain Pinwheels

Made this for my neighbor's new little boy (OK not so new anymore he's older than Kyle) using Bonnie Hunter's pattern Scrappy Mountains Majesty. It was quilted by my friend Konda with lizards and frogs and bugs.
