This weeks achievements

 

Very happy to finish three quilts this week.....that brings me to seven YES SEVEN quilts for this year.  Wow has been many, many years since I did that.  So have a binding to sew on for the next one and hope to start that tonight, but first I may go make a couple of tiny, tiny nine patches for Circa 2016.

2016 FAL Numer 7

 

Last quilt I finished is Marbled Hearts.  This one seems to glow - made around 1997 and finally finished!  My 7th for the 2016 FAL

2016 FAL Number 6

Next finished was this just beautiful Pineapple quilt.  This was made around 2000.  I just love the border fabric and the fussy cutting.  My 6th for 2016 FAL

2016 FAL Number 5

Well I got a couple more quilts finished (while watching TV - which I can't remember what I watched)  Very happy to be churning thru them.  This is a little baby rub so was quick to quilt and quick to bind.....now just need someone to have a baby.  At a guess I made this around 2008.  Number 5 for 2016 FAL.

Civil War Love Letters Quilt

After doing the little blocks for Circa 2016 I got the urge to used some reproduction fabrics again.  Haven't done much with those fabrics for a long while so dug out my Love Letters blocks from years ago.  Had printed out the foundation papers for a lot of blocks and found one half made.....so finished that and then did 2 more.  They do take extra time but  look good.  So I discovered I have 19 blocks now and a couple of strays that could be from Love Letters or could be from Civil War Diaries as I got both books at the same time.  So will make a block now and then and see where I end up.

A New Quilt

Well, try as I might I just can't resist starting a new quilt.  read on Temecula Quilt Company last week where they are starting a Circa 2016 quilt.  All scrappy and a mystery and in reproductions.  Well, I ask How Can You Resist.  Well, of course I can't so jumped in this morning and made the first lot of blocks.....Oh and so tiny.....but cute. As I was choosing fabric I discovered some lovely reproductions that I don't remember so it's rather tempting .......and I have just been visiting Barbara Brackmans site.

But I had better get off the computer and get some more binding done on some quilts.  I have the TV to myself this arvo so will put on a girly program and do more binding.....almost finished No 5.

No 4

Number 4 in the 2016 FAL is a weeny little thing made many, many years ago as a colour lesson.  I'm not one to usually make little things but.....I did.
