2016 - FAL Q1 list

I decided to go wild and crazy with my list. It's more of an UFO list and any finish or progress would be nice. You might not even remember some of my projects so let's recap.

#1 Disco quilt which I called Tribute back in summer of 2014. It will probably and hopefully come quilted from my friend soon. I left the quilting to a pro since I love it.

# 2 DM quilt made for blog hop. Find out more here. That's where all the happy scraps comes from.

  #3 Love wall hanging. I made this as a anniversary reminder so this one deserves to be finished.

And some cute kids projects by Lorna. Elephant parade and I would like to make some dogs too. Remember Lorna's Dog Gone Cute QAL? Well I bought some fabrics last year for it so it is time to make at least some blocks. My projects #4 and #5 on the list.

How about the color of the year 2014? Well, that's my #6 Pantone mini. I'm a bit torn with this one. One day I love it and I hate it the next. I really need to make up my mind and either finish it or let it go to someone else.

I'm keeping the bags on my list #7 and #8. Plus my latest projects #9 mini and #10 cushion to round up the list nicely.

Note: I used Google Keep app to create my list.

Tribute

Here we go. I tried to stay off computer as much as I could and bit by bit I managed to finish it. I try to name quilts by song titles. This one is not finished yet but I picked "Tribute" as I listened to album called Tribute by John Newman while making it. It is also a tribute to quilting community which helped me to get to this point. Thank you!

It’s all for you, it’s all for you

For what you have made me, look how I grew

Here’s my tribute

As usual I love my latest finish the most and I tend to say that it is the best thing I have ever made, lol. It started out as ruler testing on scraps. I was after mini only. The original pattern is by Jaybird quilts called Mini Disco. I used both the mini and the regular Hex N More ruler as well.

It is made out of batiks leftovers and solid charm squares. Don't you like the back as well?

Once I had it all on my design wall I was worried I mess up the layout. I don't have machine in the same room so I took off random pieces keeping them in order.

I pieced them in the exact order as well.

I placed ironing board in front of the design wall and once I pressed the seams I put it back up. I kept the exact order the whole time while working on it.

I don't usually pin but pincushion wrapped around my wrist was a big helper.

I'm entering my Tribute into Jaybird quilts SAL link up @ Sew Sweetness just in time. Phew!

The pieced Mini Disco part measures 24 x 39" with added borders enlarged to 58x74" quilt top.

I'm also linking up with TGIFF, Crazy mom quilts and SEWjo Saturday.
