January Progress Report

Apparently cold weather and staying inside is keeping me busy at the sewing machine! I'm pretty excited about the progress I have made so far in finishing projects.  Today, I even began sewing together my last leader/ender project...

This won't be the final setting, but I just had to see how it was all going to look together!(Do you need sunglasses to see it?) Cindy gifted me with the pattern quite sometime ago. It is fun and easy to put together...perfect as leaders/enders! I used a charm pack of Trade Winds by Lily Ashbury and some Amy Butler fabrics that I had on hand for this knock-your-socks-off colorful version! I just have 6 more blocks to sew together to make a lap size quilt.

Another fun quilt top that is close to being complete is my Flea Market Fancy version of the Good Fortune pattern by Kate Spain (on the left). My friend, Vicki, and I only sew on these quilts when we are together. A white border is all that's left to add before we move on to the quilting stage. I love Vicki's softer version on the right...

Half of my Postage Stamp blocks are set together! It goes pretty fast and will be a quilt top soon!

You are probably sick of seeing the Batman quilts, Pow! and Bam!, but I couldn't not mention them in a post about January progress. The quilts will be on the boys' beds very soon now!

Last, but certainly not least, is this Madrona Road challenge project for the Modern Quilt Guild. Tonight is the 'Big Reveal' for the Kansas City Guild and I'm excited to see every one's finished quilts. Tomorrow, I'm planning a post featuring my quilt and maybe some of the other members' quilts as well.

How's your year looking so far? Are you making some progress like I am, or still trying to get the motivation rolling? I'm linking with Lynne today for the Year of the Finish...
