GLORIOUS FALL -----A YEAR LATER

This day last year I went up to the park and took this picture of 'Glorious Fall'

I went home and over time added one more row to finish the pattern, and then it sat.  I added it to my fourth quarter list in the hopes it would motivate me to get on it. Then I saw this quilt by Maureen Cracknell and knew that I wanted to finish mine that way. So, with permission, I forged ahead.

As you can see by the photo, winter has come a bit earlier this year.

Although I'm not really a purple person, this plum colour framed it so well so I ran with it!

The quilt top measures 53 by about 80. A good twin size

I have some ideas for quilting it following the zig zags with different quilting designs. I think it will be fun trying things out. So, one year to the day, I'm a step closer to having it done!

FOURTH QUARTER WISH LIST

It's hard to believe we are into the last few months of yet another year. Quilting a lot is one way that helps me cope with the long, dark, cold days of winter. I love sitting under a quilt while I hand sew the binding. For this last quarter of the Finish Along, I plan to focus on getting several tops done that are hanging in my closet.  Let's take a look at the line-up, shall we?

1. Glorious Fall.  Since this picture, I have added another row but I still want to add a bit more.

2. Scrappy trip (left over from last quarter)

3. Converging Corners  ( also left over from last quarter)

4. These are the scrappy trip blocks made by ladies in a club I used to host. I'm sure they would love to see me get this together and donated  : )

 5. Up Up and Away.  This has been a top far too long

6. Stringy Pinwheels

7.  x and + made from Comma

8. The quilt made from blocks sent to me from the Mid Century Modern girls

9. Lilly Belle

10. Hexi-bets

11. Plus Quilt.  I love this thing so must make it bigger before I quilt it.

12.  Twin Beach House quilts

13. These blocks need to become another quilt for Hospice

What a ridiculous list!!!  I decided to put lots of UFO's on the list this time so I can't get bored. One thing's for sure -- there will be an awful lot of batting and backing purchased over the next few months. 

On a personal note,  I will be unplugging for a bit to concentrate on these two. They get married on Saturday.

So excited for them  : )

Enjoy your week. I'm in for a very busy one!
