2011 in review.....
I'll start with the total successes, the finished quilts. 17 in all, 3 done totally on domestic machine, 2 partially done on domestic and all the rest done on the longarm. The are not to scale as Picasa3 scrambles them into different spots until you are happy with it and some of the large ones are small photos.
This group is the quilts started in 2011 but not finished. Some are completed tops, some are waiting for borders. I sold 3 of them as tops so there are 19 that I need to finish. Add that to all of the ones from previous years that aren't finished and I'm still close to 50. After I made the collage I went to the basement and quilted one of them, bottom row, second from the left.
I will choose the binding today and sew it on. I hope this year I can get the bindings done soon after the quilting and not end up with a pile like I had last year.

Seeing these quilts all posted as a group has to be gratifying for you. It certainly is fun for us.
On to 2012 !
You are so gosh darn productive!! And it's not as if creating quilts is the only thing you do.
Not to mention that each and every one is so beautiful.
Congratulations on a great year.
Your quilts make my heart sing. there is not a one of them that isn't incredible....I'm going to bookmark this page for inspiration -- and ideas. Wow!
Feels good to see the progress you made this year. Hope you have as productive or more productive year this coming year. Chris
I was feeling pretty humble when I saw the first picture of 17. Then I scrolled down and saw the rest. They are really beautiful and proof of your creativity. I'm looking forward to see what you do in 2012.
wow!
You had a fantastic year and it was fun to watch all those quilts come together!
You have been a busy woman all year, I see. I love them all. I think that I only have four quilt tops to be finished. I also have 3 or 4 more quilts that are started but not finished. Hopefully soon I will be able to get back to my sewing.
What a glorious quilt show for 2011. Wishing you a very happy new year Wanda
And I have enjoyed seeing every single one of them, finished or just started!
you certainly made a lot of quilts didn't you. They are all so lovely. I always find it good to get the bindings on quickly and get it completely finished.

I have never been a big fan of Kaffe fabric, but you really make them sparkle. Happy New Year to you.
Wow, you had a very productive year. I love your quilts - especially love what you do with color. I find your quilts very inspiring. Thanks!
I am just so very impressed with how lovely and how many you have made. I haven't even finished one full sized quilt this year, only one little one and 3 baby ones. My hat is off to you!
Wow - it is cool to see them all to together! It has been fun to see them as you have worked on them too. Congrats to you on your accomplishments in 2011!
What a productive year you have had! It was fun to see them all together.
Stunning groups of quilts, Wanda, whether finished or not quite yet.
I wish I could discipline myself to work on my quilting half as much as you do. You're a wonderful role model, showing us what can be accomplished without ignoring work and family time and quilts for wonderful causes like QOV.
Blessings to you as 2012 begins.
Wow Wanda! It is so neat to see all of the quilts together! I always love the vibrant colors/fabrics you use and your designs are always so neat. Congrats on a wonderful year of quilting!
They are all beautiful!! Looking forward to your projects in 2012 !!!
What an impressive body of work. Being a fan of Westminster fabrics, I really like the one you quilted yesterday. Love your resolve on keeping up with the bindings; I have a stack of 8 or 9 tops to be dealt with when I get back to my "sewing world" in CA in March. In the meantime, I'll have to get excited watching others get their work done! LOL
Todays post is indeed a grand array of wonderfully designed quilts. Each and every one has it's own ambiance.

What a gorgeous array of colour!! They're all beautiful. It has been an absolute delight watching these beauties being made!
A great year for you... and I hope that 2012 brings even more satisfaction. You are a total inspiration. Thank you!
Wanda, you are so prolific and talented! I love seeing your quilts, and they look great displayed as a group. I read about the jelly roll 1600 quilt on your blog and recently bought my first ever jelly roll and just finished the top. I love reading your blog and seeing all the quilts you create. You are so good with color!
Happy New Year!
I love your quilts. They have so much color in them. I look at my stash and wonder why I stuck to the dull looking colors that I did for so many years. Thanks for sharing and brightening up my life.

Absolutely fabulous!
wow, so much colour. I love it.
they all look great.
WOW! What a great collection of quilts. All so lovely. You have been very busy in 2011, it will be delightful to see all your work in 2012. Thank you for sharing.
so exuberant and colorful... and awesome and inspiring! thanks for the recap
Wanda, you are impressive, as always. That is a beautiful body of work, and that it was all done in one year is even more impressive. I've enjoyed watching each and every one come together and your process along the way. I have learned so much from you, and I thank you for your generosity in sharing. Happy New Year!
Spectacular! What you need is someone who doesn't mind binding in exchange for quilting. That would get you caught up.
All your quilts are beautiful. I have the same problem of getting the binding done. I like sewing binding, but for some reason, I am avoiding the larger quilts!
They are all BEAUTIFUL and I have enjoyed watching you work through each and everyone of them. Thank you for sharing your year's quilting journey. I have learned so much.
Fabulous ... I hope you feel really good when you look at these collage photos!! I love visiting your blog each day ~ thank you for sharing yourself with us!!!
Seeing all you do with color makes me so wonderfully happy. Thank you for sharing!
What a wonderful idea to make pictures and put all together like you did and catalog everything. It makes you accountable of all done the previous year. Think I need to be doing this. Tks for idea.
