WIP - 2012 Wrap it up!

2012 is skidding at an alarming speed towards its close, and although I am pretty keen to get cracking on some Christmas craft, I have had a stern talk to myself about finishing off some projects before I begin any new ones.  Had this talk with yourself before?  So here I am linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced for a Wednesday WIP confessional.  The following projects (plus many more, I'm afraid to say) are lurking in this cupboard.....



And I am giving myself until the 20th of November to finish them off and then I will be able to enjoy my festive season guilt free.  So I am declaring my hand people and by the aforementioned date I will have finished......

Putting the borders on this quilt-top.  The photo just shows it laid out in blocks, but I have sewn it together now and have managed, through the power of Google, to track down and purchase some border fabric for it.


Making my On A Whim quilt top.  I have pieced all of the components of the blocks and am in the process of squaring them up which I am finding totally tedious.  I have completed two blocks- this one, and other that I have misplaced - things aren't looking good for that deadline!  Fortunately, I have enough fabric to whip up another block if it doesn't turn up.  


 


Putting the borders on my Dad's Carpenter's Star quilt.  You can see the quilt here.


I would also like to finish my Crystal star quilt that I have designed using a layer cake in Petite Odile by French General.  (This list is starting to seem a bit ambitious)


The list also includes finishing up Scarlett's string quilt.....


This little one has been quilted and I am currently stitching the binding down, so I may even have a wee finish by Friday.


And last but not least is this little tumbling block that I am going to quilt with some straight lines and turn into a cushion for my son's room.


Cover me.  I'm going in!

  6. Ambitious, but why not? I think you get more done when you're ambitious. Good luck! I am ambling along here. Maybe I should get ambitious?

  8. It's so interesting how your On A Whim block's blue polka dot fabric alternately looks like tumbling boxes and a white star. Lots of great and pretty projects!
