It’s International Quilting Day!

I thought I’d post a picture of all my WIPs, some from *years* ago.  It’s a way of celebrating for me, since it shows me what I’ve accomplished and how far I’ve come.

So, here’s a picture of what I was able to dig up:

Things I plan on finishing up this year!

Things I plan on finishing up this year!

From top to bottom, left to right:

  • Sailboats (top row): pieced last summer (2012) because I was in an HST mood.  Love the juxtaposition of Japanese indigo prints with modern fabrics.  Need to figure out what I want to do with them; they’re only in a row because I didn’t want to lose them!
  • 9 patch (middle row, left): made this in 2005?  I used a large number of different white on white prints, with a single square of a bright color in the middle.  Wasn’t sure at that point what to do with them, because the whole “negative space modern thing” hadn’t started and I wasn’t that good at machine quilting yet.  Now have glorious new plans.
  • Triple Irish Chain (middle, second from left): started in 2005.  Made a twin for my grandparents, and had enough left to make another twin.  Didn’t get to finishing it because, hey, I had just made one, already!
  • “Gamela” from Modern Quilt Wokshop (middle row, right side): Supposed to be for a friend’s wedding present 2 (ok, maybe 3) years ago.  I got pregnant with #2, and now they just had #1.  Oops.
  • Mendocino Snowballs (bottom row): from a couple of years ago.  Little fiddly linen squares got to me, then our terminally ill cat threw up on a few and I had to wash them which throws everything out of whack. Creatively and otherwise.  Time to finish them up!
