End of the year recap

 Bad news first:  I did not start ANY of my beginning of the year goals for 2024. I have 2 boxes kitted up to still start: Fat Cat Designs of A Southern Gentleman  with some gorgeous blues, aquas, and purple. and Crinkly Quilts pattern for Dynamite Rings with a brilliant blue background and bright grunge scraps. I still want to do them, really.

But the Good News is that I proceeded with finishing up quilts and followed through all the way to the fall before starting any major projects.  ( I am not counting the small wall hangings done for my Mom's door at the nursing home.)

So here is the parade of  large finishes:

Huge quilt with blocks from Sewcialites 2, currently on my bed.
100 inches square made of 9 inch blocks

Currently on my wall;  Bunny Hill quilt with wool snowmen

One of my all time favorites: 9 patch wonderful 
Won 1st place at my guild's quilt show
queen sized


Sewcialites fall blocks from last year:
Throw size 60 inches square

Not the finished picture. Over the River by Crabapple Hill
 I still don't like the quilting in the borders and it sits.
Wall quilt   7 year project

Nice flannel quilt from Primitive Gatherings panel and fabrics.
Throw size wall quilt

Chandelier quilt of leftover 1/4 square triangles.
 Twin size

NEW start and finish:
Hey Boo by Lella Boutique 
throw size

That is a total of 8 large quilts

And I finished 13 other small projects.

Additionally, I completed at least 2 blocks for Stash Bee each month, a Round Robin for guild 5 months. and various other starts. 

All in all, I feel good for being lucky enough to have time and fabric to complete these. Quilting is definitely a part of my life. I thank all the bloggers who follow me and comment. Their ever amazing inspiration of their own projects is incredible.      Hallelujah!
