FAL 2016: 3rd Quarter Goals.

 It's time again to assess what I want to try to get done in the next 3 months for the Finish-Along 2016. Rather than just keeping the leftovers from the first and second quarter I re-evaluated what I actually want to work on (or what has a deadline) and narrowed it down to 9 for this quarter.

Check out the other proposed finishes here. My list is number 44.

4. Allietare
6. Blue Quilt

5. Disappearing 9-Patch
8. My Car Quilt
7. Tumbler Quilt
9. Bravo Indigo

Easy Street

Managed another Last Minute Finish for the Finish Along 2016. This one is my Easy Street by Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville. This one measures 94 inches square. I love how it turned out. I used fabrics I already had and am quite pleased with how it turned out. I quilted it in an overall stipple.

You can find other great finishes here. This one is number 675.

Jacob's Ladder

This quilt was started as part of a Facebook group Quilt Along. We were working with the traditional block, Jacob's Ladder. I chose to make my blocks large and use some of the fun Novelty fabrics that I had gathered. The block size is 18 inches, and the quilt measures 72 x 90. I chose to quilt it with straight lines that followed the arrows formed by my layout. I am very happy with how this turned out.

This was also one of my Finish Along Goals. You can find other great finishes here. This quilt is number 367.

Play with Me Quilt Along: Ludo

One of today's goals was to get the block made for the Play with Me Quilt Along. I managed to do just that. This month's block is Ludo and our technique was traditional piecing. It went together really fast, and I'm quite pleased with the end result.

Check out the others that have been made this month here. I'm number 254.

Half Square Triangles 2

This quilt was pieced as part of a quilt along in a Facebook group I'm part of. We used Little Miss Shabby's Epic HST block. Because I was trying to focus on finishing things I'd already started, I decided to enlarge the block and use 1 to make a baby quilt. It was really quick and easy. I love how it turned out. And now I have a back-up baby quilt at the ready. It finishes at 48 x 48 inches. Which is a great size for toddlers, too. I quilted it with a loopy stipple in blue.

This is one of my Second Quarter Finish Along Goals. Check out the other great finishes here. This one is #222.
