The Good, The Bad, The Unfinished (My Quilt Diary)

Is this EVERYTHING?  Oh Yeah.  This is everything I've quilted since I started back in 2010.  Here I'm listing my finished projects only - (with one exception..) - and ordering them with the most recently completed ones first.

As of today... (Dec 31, 2025) I have 2 quilts that just need the binding tacked down, 2 quilt tops that are ready to be quilted (waiting on the arrival of backing fabrics for those), and another I'm in the process of designing.

17. 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....)
Update in 2024 - I still haven't found these... as I'm now dedicated to reducing my scrap stash, perhaps I'll find them this year... we'll see.

16. Tutti Fruity placemats

 15. 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). I pieced the top and mailed it to friends in the US and they had a friend quilt and finish it.

Started in 2013, finished in 2017 - queen size - quilted on the longarm ("Simply Stippling" groovy board) - polyester batting.

8. 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.
This one served us well as a window cover until 2016 when we had our house renovated.  The room this was in became my office, and where this window was there's now a closet.  The panel wasn't anything to get excited about, so I just threw it out.

7. Baby quilt (koala print in frames)

Started in 2010, completed in 2013 - approx 45" x 50", hand quilted  - cotton batting
The woman who was my hair stylist was expecting when I made this one - so it became a baby gift for her.

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.

5. Log Cabin "Cosmos"


Started in 2010, completed in 2011 -approx 50" x 60"m 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....  I still have it and one day will get a photo of it to put here.

3. Gail B's "Faded Memories" kit

  2010 -  50" x 60" - hand quilted, polyester batting
This one was a gift for my friend Julie.
 

2. Ohio Star

2010 - queen size bedspread - hand quilted, polyester batting
I've always loved this quilt, but in 2023 I was downsizing and found I didn't really have a place for it anymore.  My friend Cheryl loved it and now has it.

1.  Snowball and plain blocks
