My second finish for October was "Many Moons" which took 4 years from start to finish. I realized I haven't taken a portrait photo of it yet so this one will have to do for now.
The first finish was the batik 16 patch quilt, a large couch quilt.
Right at the end of the month I finished two small colorwash wallhangings. The top one is a little under 28" square, the other is smaller.
I also started a good size quilt project and knitted a couple dishcloths.
I started the year strong with many finishes and then had several months with no finishes. Hopefully I will have 2 good months of finishes for the end of the year. Speaking of that, where has this year gone? I can't believe there are only 2 months left.
You do such lovely work and help/teach so many. I think you have more "finishes" than you realize! I have a question that I hope you can help me with regarding quilting flannel. On vacation I picked up my first piece of flannel by a quilting company. I bought it to back a baby quilt. However, I was wondering why I've only seen flannel on the back of quilts and not mixed with the quilting fabrics on the top. I'm using simple rectangles and I wondered if I could throw in a few rectangles of the flannel on the top or would it shrink/wear differently than the quilting cotton? Thanks!
You do wonderful work and should be proud of all the quilts you make and finish. Most of us never have a quilt a month. Thank you again for inspiring all of us. I was showing my husband last night the progression of my knitted dishcloths from your pattern and we both had to laugh at some of them. I am not such a great knitter as you so when I watch TV, I get off track and you wouldn't believe what I end up with. But they are dish cloths, right So I will use them eventually.
with cooler weather.... there will be more indoor work!!! and Cactus blooms and finishes!!! Yes this year has gone fast!!!
