May goal for the lovely year of finishes on flickr

I finished the quilting and the binding on this one for my May goal. The binding was a striped fabric that picked up all the colors in the quilt.

This is my goal for May at A Lovely Year of Finishes. I need to quilt and bind this. It is part of my Add A Border group on Flicker. For that group we start with a 6 inch block and then we send it to our fearless leader Dustin. He in turn sends us someone else's block to create a border  and then we pass it back to him. The blocks go through 4 rounds so they end up to be 24 inches. At that time if no one has claimed the block, he will ask if you want it back if not it goes into a pool and is up for grabs. This block was started by someone else and I added round 4 then I liked it so well I kept it and added all the rest of the borders. This works something like a round robin except you may not get your own starter back. We have a lot of fun and it is really creative.

April Finish

This is my April finish. I had the top finished several years ago but never got it quilted. So happy to get it off my to do list.

April 2013 goal for finish is my churn dash quilt

I am trying to get my churn dash quilt finished. I put this together several years ago. I need to quilt and bind this to complete it. Unfortunately today while I was quilting it , a whole bobbin full of thread screwed up on the tension so that when I looked at the back of the quilt it was full of loops. I will need to remove all of that stitching before I can continue. Finishing this quilt is going to be my goal for April.

This is my Supernova quilt that I finished for my March goal for a lovely year of finishes.

My goal for March is to get this Supernova quilt pinned. I haven't created a back yet so I need to do that first and then I will sandwich and pin.
