Here is my list of active WIPs. There are 11 projects (fingers crossed I don't find any more in my sewing room, or start new ones.....😂)
2022 Monthly Colour Challenge and 2021 Monthly Colour Challenge - I'm participating in the monthly QAL hosted by Jen @ Patterns by Jen. I didn't piece together my 12 blocks from 2021, so I am going to join them with the 2022 blocks and made a larger quilt. Both sets of blocks are made with Kona solids.
Stay at Home Round Robin 2022 - This was a QAL hosted by Gail @ Quilting Gail. I fell behind and didn't finish rounds 5 and 6. Since I have so many projects on the go, I might just skip the last two rounds and add this to the pile of quilt tops to be finished.
Macaron Mystery QAL - Cheryl @ Meadow Mist Designs hosts an annual mystery QAL. I fell behind with the 2021-2022 version and need to finish piecing my blocks. The push is on to get this to quilt top status because the 2022-2023 mystery QAL has started.
Blue Skies & Sunny Days - This is a pattern by my friend Sandra @ Musings of Menopausal Melon. I'm going to use a Kona jelly roll with Kona White for the background. Stayed tuned for more details about this project.
MMQG Brown Bag Swap - My quilt guild, Maritime Modern Quilt Guild, is in the midst of a brown bag swap. We put 2 metres of fabric in a bag (yardage, jelly roll, fat quarter), and another guild member will make something for us. They can add additional fabrics. This is a secret swap so I can't share anything until the final reveal.
Ruby Star Summer Sew Along - Perfect Picnic Quilt - I'm participating in the Ruby Star Society Summer Sew Along. I had a bundle of Rashida Coleman Hale fabrics and decided this was the perfect opportunity to use it. This is now a pieced top (stay tuned for photos), so it will move to the pile of quilt tops waiting to be quilted.
Melodic Mystery QAL - I've chosen my fabrics for the 2022-2023 mystery QAL hosted by Cheryl @ Meadow Mist Designs. I'm using Kona Chartreuse and Storm (background). The cutting instructions will be released in August.
Modern Mini Quilt - I found a skill builder project online by Trendtex Fabrics. I had some troubles with the pattern, so I need to figure out the best way (aka the least work involved) to fix it. Here are the colours I used.
Bloom - This is pattern by Leanne @ Devoted Quilter. It was easier to cut fabrics and piece blocks while I was in my temporary apartment, so I prepped a few projects for when I eventually got home. I'm using Island Batik fabrics.
Cargo Duffle - I started a cargo duffle as a gift for a friend and didn't finish. 2022 has been a challenge, but now that I'm back home, I hope to get back on track. This is a free pattern by Anna @ Noodlehead, but I'm following a tutorial by Michelle @ From Bolt to Beauty to add a lining. I need to get this finished.
Exploding Hearts - This was a 2021 QAL hosted by Laura @ Slice of Pi Quilts. I fell behind as my design wall wasn't large enough to lay out the blocks and then...well life happened. I haven't purchased a new bed for the spare room yet, so I now have space to lay out the blocks on the floor.
Hand applique project - I was gifted some fabrics from Sandra @ Musings of Menopausal Melon. I've added some Kona solids, and I have a hand applique project in mind.
I'm hoping to make progress on some of these projects over the summer. We'll see how that goes. 😂
Oh my goodness ! That is a long list of works in progress ! You are in fact one of the only quilters I know that would have a chance on completing them. Good luck and I look forward to seeing the progress on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI am exhausted just reading about the mountain of blocks and flimsies overwhelming you. One at time, Anja. It can be done. Good Luck to you!
