Monthly recap for January 2022

I completed 3 quilt tops in January.  The yellow crazy pieced small quilt top was started last year and it is 36.5" x 46.5".  The center quilt top is flannel, was started and finished in January, and is 56" x 76".  The tumbler quilt top is also flannel and is 71" x 90".  I hope to get both flannel tops quilted soon.

I had 2 finishes in January.  The first is a Kaffe fabric orphan block quilt.  I started playing with the design last year and got the top finished in December, quilted in January.  It is 48" x 63".

The second finish is the Seed Packet quilt.  I worked on finishing the binding by hand until 11:30 last night.  It is 65" x 82".

This quilt top was finished in July 2017 so it waited 4 1/2 years to be quilted.  It was a labor intensive quilt with all squares fussy cut to more or less center a bloom.  And of course first I had to find all of those fabrics and then cut holes in the fabrics when fussy cutting. There are 72 large squares and 144 small squares.

This shot is a close up of the backing, binding, and quilting.

I'll show more details of the quilting on tomorrow's post but here is one photo to show I went back and quilted between the lines I had quilted Sunday night.  Now the closest lines are about 1/4" apart and the farthest are a little over 1/2" apart.
