FINISH #6

 I made the binding out of the same background fabric for the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild's Block of the Month 2024 quilt, "Like Totally", yesterday.

Today I sewed it on.  And I lost the game of binding length.  It was less than 6" short and I had to stop and cut a strip and sew it on to the binding end.  [notice that beautiful backing]

This quilt is done.  It is Finish #6 for the year.  It is 64" by 80"

QUILTING SEATTLE BOM 2024

 I finished this top at the end of 2024.  It is the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild's Block of the Month for 2024 called "Like Totally".  Pattern by @imfeelingcrafty.  I had bought a Tula Pink sateen backing fabric for it but am now just getting to quilting it.  I set it up with a wave pantograph using varigated green and white thread.  I got it loaded and started today but didn't finish it.




FINISH #5

 I had made and quilted this quilt in 2022 and then put it away and forgot about it.  It just needed binding to be able to call it finished.  So I did.  "Bears and Pears" is 46" by 33".

It's done, it's Finish #5 of the year.

FINISH #4

 I sewed the binding down on the front of the big Garden Club quilt.  It is done!  

This is Finish #4 for the year.  

Too big to fit on my design wall.

Then I picked out fabrics for the new SeaMQGBOM2026 and made the first set of strip sets.  I need a project box for it all.  Hmmm.



I couldn't decide whether to use the vibrant African fabric or go with the plain brown at first, but decided to be bold, I hope I have enough of that African fabric.

BINDING DAY

 I tackled the binding for the big Garden Club quilt.  It's 88" by 88" which makes it difficult so I decided to do only one side of it today and save my neck, shoulders and arms.  I took my time and didn't overdo it and got done.

Then I went ahead and sewed the binding on the much smaller charm quilt, One Room Schoolhouse which is 32" by 40".  I did both sides and it is done.

This is finish #3 for the year.
