Finish Along 2014: Q1 list

Finally I have put my list together. The first half is made up by fairly new projects which are always more exciting than those we get on to later on.

1. Color wheel - I made the fabric choice and my freezer paper template is ready. I'm using this pattern with my own little twist.

 
2. Log cabin SAL - since I never made log cabin I joined the It's a New Year SAL @ Sew Can She. We are currently at the week3.



3. 2014 Pantone quilt challenge - I like challenges and I do like the color of the year. Enough said.


4. 241 Tote pattern - I want to make this tote for ages. This is where I'm at. 


5. Summertime Sadness - aka Broken Herringbone quilt. It's currently being quilted by pro. Once it's back all I need to do is bind it.


We are moving on to the drawer. Let's dust off those projects. 

6. Ballerinas - there are 7 houses waiting patiently for my attention. Any progress would be good since my girl will turn 8 in September and I have no fabrics for house No.8 :-)


7. Skill Builder BoM blocks - there are also fabrics I wanted to use for Skill Builder BoM blocks. Oh well, the excitement is gone and I have no longer intention to make the entire quilt. Anyway I would love to find a use for those two blocks.


8. Boyish quilt - at the very bottom there is boyish quilt I have started long time ago. We'll see about that.


9. House pouches - I precut these four houses probably a year ago. 


10. Animal blocks - those blocks were made for a certain project but I didn't read the instructions carefully and had to use cotton only. So I made another two blocks and these were left behind. I would like to turn them into fabric basket or a tote. Anything really.


I have some paper piecing patterns printed and couple more plans but I guess I better stop right here. My one word for 2014 would be BALANCE. I hope I'll find it even though it looks like sci-fi considering what I have just written. Should I change it into MADNESS? That is exactly how my year is going to look like so sit back and enjoy the bumpy ride.

  14. My favourite projects are the ballerina girls, the boy quilt and the animal blocks - I guess I'm in kid mode :D Not too fond of the colour of the year, although it seems to depend on what colour the swatch shows on different monitors - on different sites I've seen it looking like pale purple and I didn't like it, but I do like the "orchider" (lol - pinker) version that I see on others - yours is the latter :D
