#1. Australian Animal Quilt. Almost there. Just needs an outer border that can fold over as the binding. And maybe a little more embroidery and detail on some of the animals.
#2. African Mermaid Art Quilt. Just goes to show you size is no motivator when it comes to finishing something. I need to finish the binding and it's done. Don't ask me why I haven't just done it.
#3. Cactus Quilt. I have 8 embroidered blocks with little frames sewn around them. Now I just have to figure out how to put them together and with what fabric.
#4. Perfect Neighborhood. I'm not quite sure what else this needs. I have to finish the houses I have and then decide what else to add. More houses? Trees? Fences? A road? It will take a while longer.
#5. Wonky houses. I think I have enough blocks (fourteen at last count--with a few needing the backing fabric) to piece together into a nap quilt. Add an outside border and call it a day.
#6. Vegetable Love. Very labor intensive process involved in making these blocks--tracing templates on freezer paper and ironing them on to fabric then matching up arrows to sew. It was very challenging, but I like the outcome. Not something I find relaxing to do though so I wouldn't do it much.
#7. Crazy Blue Quilt. Maybe it is a wallhanging already, as is. Just binding, backing and maybe hand quilting of circles like raindrops make on water?
#8. Sun Print Quilt. This I started 10 years ago. It just needs backing, binding and quilting.
#9. Glass Paperweights. I didn't love them as much as when I started. I need a background fabric that makes it pop and could never find one. I might have screwed up when I sewed the sections together so I've got to go back and find out if I did. I need to root around and find the background fabric I bought for it, too.
#10. Hexagons. I don't know what I was thinking when I cut this quilt out. I'm not even sure what the inspiration was. Possibly drunk? However, since it is already cut out and started, what the heck? If I sew a few hexagons and triangles together each night, it shouldn't be too unbearable.
#11. Pink Cowgirls. I know exactly what I was thinking when I cut this one out! "Oh, won't this be tooooo cute for my daughter. Won't she just love this!" She saw it and gagged reflexively at the amount of pink involved. Even though I knew she didn't like pink, I must have somehow managed to block that out (no pun intended) when I saw the fabric. Any-hoo, I'm going to finish it in the hope that one day, she will be less averse to pink. To make life easy, I think I am going to use light colored blocks of an equal size and then put a border on and have done with it.
#12. Halloween Quilt. I almost finished and then I totally lost interest because I couldn't find a background/border fabric that interested me. That often happens to kill my interest--when I can't get it to be the way I envision it. Nothing I put next to it got me excited. I'm wondering if the same treatment I used on the Australian Animal Quilt might motivate me.
13. Retro Flowers. I bought these off E-bay a year or so ago and must have about fifty of them. I'm thinking of them on a field of indigo. Maybe with red dots for the center? Or lime green? That's probably too much. Brown?
