The Good, The Bad, The Unfinished

I'm getting ready to set up quilt #56!  Boy... with this longarm to help me power through my UFO closet, I am really cranking out the quilts these days.

In recent months I've started keeping a little more information about the quilts I've made - things like dimensions and what kind of batting I'm using.  I wish I'd done that from the beginning, but oh well... that's 20-20 hindsight for you.

Anyway - here's a complete listing of the projects I've made since that first bedspread I did back in 2010.

As always, just click any picture on this post to see a larger image...
  1. Snowball and plain blocks

     2010 - queen size bedspread, hand quilted, polyester batting
  2. Ohio Star

    2010 - queen size bedspread - hand quilted, polyester batting
  3. Snowball block kit "Faded Memories"

      2010 - a kit from "Patchwork With Gail B"approx 50" x 60" - hand quilted, polyester batting
  4.  On Point Lattice Christmas Quilt


    Started 2012, completed in 2014 - king-size bedspread, hand quilted - polyester batting
    Woops! I never posted a photo of this one as a completed quilt (photo above of the top before sandwiching). Oh well....
  5.  Log Cabin "Cosmos"


    Started in 2010, completed in 2011 -approx 50" x 60"m hand quilted - polyester batting
  6. Log Cabin "Sunset"


    2010 - approx 50" x 60" hand quilted - polyester batting
    Somehow I managed not to post a photo of the finished quilt. Hm... well - 2010 was a busy year.
  7. Baby quilt (koala print in frames)

    Started in 2010, completed in 2013 - approx 45" x 50", hand quilted  - cotton batting
  8. My disaster quilt

    Stared in 2010, and... well, I didn't get far.  After cutting out the pieces, I realized that the design I'd come up with wasn't going to look nice at all - so it got shoved into the back of my UFO closet.  Maybe some day I'll take it out and do something with it.
  9. Small throw-sized window panel


    2010 - 48" x 60" (it was just a dark panel intended to cover/insulate a window in a rarely used room) machine quilted (not longarm) - polyester batting
  10. "Forbidden Temple"


    Started in 2011, completed in 2012 - a kit from "Patchwork With Gail B" - 53" x 70", hand quilted   - bamboo batting
  11. Trees


    Started in 2011, currently ready to sandwich and quilt.
    I didn't realize until setting up this page that I never posted a photo of the completed top. All I've posted is pictures of segments. Well, trust me, the top was assembled in 2011 and has been resting inside a pillowcase since then. Another longarm project!!! 
  12. Egyptian Placemats


    Started in 2011, completed in 2012 - approx 14" x 12", hand quilted - polyester batting
  13. Japanese print table runner


    2013 - approx 55" x 12" - hand quilted - polyester batting
  14. Civil War Prints


    2012 - approx 50" x 60" - hand quilted - polyester batting
  15. William Morris prints


    Started in 2013, but sadly neglected. That's partly because after pinning the darned thing, I discovered some of the blocks weren't aligned properly (you can't see it in this photo - the flaw is subtle). I'm actually considering pulling it apart and doing it over. But oh, my... what a lot of work that would be.
  16. Charcoal and Wine Snowblocks


    2013 - double size bedspread
    This project I didn't do the quilting on (which is why the image above just shows the top pre-quilting). We agreed that I'd piece the top and mail it to them (they are in the US) - and they had a friend quilt and finish it.
  17. Tutti Fruity placemats

     

    Started in 2013, finished in 2015 (quilted on the longarm) - approx. 14" x 10" - polyester batting
  18. Tutti Fruity tablerunner


    Started in 2013, currently MIA
    (hmm... actually... I don't think I actually pieced it together, so it's probably just a pile of charm squares in one of my fabric boxes....)
  19. Tutti Fruity "throw"


    Started 2013, completed 2015 - approx. 50" x 60", hand quilted - Polyester batting
  20. Christmas Charm Squares


    Started in 2014, currently Pieced and ready to sandwich. king-sized bedspread
    This one is on hold, as about the time I finished it, I started dreaming of having a longarm.
  21. Thanksgiving Charm Squares


    Started 2013, completed 2015.  55" x 55", hand quilted - Cotton batting
  22. Table runner #1 for Kathy and Katherine

  24. Hawaiian Petroglyph tablecloth


    Started in 2015, top is assembled and ready to sandwich.
  25. Jelly Roll Blues


    Started in 2012, log cabin blocks assembled, but they've been languishing in my UFO closet ever since. I kind-of lost interest in the project, but have pulled it out as a good candidate for practicing on my longarm. - And I'm debating on whether or not I really want the on-point design I originally envisioned for this one (the blocks in the photo above haven't been stitched together).
  26. Jelly Roll Purples


    Started in 2012, finished 2015.  38" x 48", quilted on the longarm,  polyester batting. 
  27. Christmas Table Runner (from cheap fat quarters)

    Started in 2014 - quilted in 2015 and then I forgot about it until I started working on this post.  It's somewhere in my UFO closet - maybe I'll finish it this year?  quilted on the longarm, dimensions are uh... I don't recall, but it's not very big.
