There were two finishes in March. On the left Neutral Batik 16 Patch 3 is 54.5" x 72". I have made a total of 4 quilts with these fabrics; the first one was sold as a top, the second a finished quilt (made with triangles) was sold, a family member has the third one. I'm hoping a family member will want this one.
On the right, Kaffe Blue Pinwheels is 59" x 72". It is the 4th quilt made with 6" triangles of Kaffe Fassett Collective fabrics. The others were pink/blue, pink/green and pink/gray. all finished last year. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, there are still more 6" triangles in a project box.
March was Tilda fabric month for new quilt tops. I used her fabric from several lines. I went to the Tilda website and found the pattern for Whimsy, on the left. It is 57" x 75". While I was cutting that quilt, I cut pieces for two more quilts. The one on the right is a basic 16 patch quilt with the leftover ladies fabric cut into alternating blocks. I will finish cutting the third quilt this week.
This year I want to finish a lot of small pieces so I will have finished pieces ready for gifting. This was a good month for finishes in this category. I gifted the purple/blue hand died small piece yesterday.
I'm going to put together some collages for the first quarter of the year. I decided I need that to see my progress better. It will be a separate post from the monthly recap.

The Whimsy quilt, along with the 16 patch quilt, both look like they will turn out beautifully. It’s also great that you have plans for the third quilt and that you’re keeping up with finishing smaller pieces for gifting. That’s such a thoughtful and generous goal, and I’m sure the recipients will be so grateful for your creations.
The idea of putting together collages for the first quarter of the year to track your progress is fantastic! Sometimes seeing things visually really helps to reinforce the effort and dedication that’s been put in. I look forward to hearing more about how that turns out.
It sounds like you’ve set yourself up for a year of creativity and giving, and I’m sure the quilts you’ve made will bring a lot of warmth and joy to many people. Keep up the great work.
You had a great month! I like everything you made!
Beautiful finishes for March, Wanda--in the little quilt category I especially like that offset log cabin one--so pretty and rich looking...
all in all a very productive month for you...
Only 35 this morning with milky sunshine and easterly winds about. Hoping to go for a walk outside when it warms up (if it does!!). Hugs, Julierose
I so enjoy the end of the month posts. And this month you outdid yourself with so many finishes. All truly amazing creations to behold.
all of the quilts look great but the smaller pieces really catch my eye with the color -
Your continued multiple finished each month just amaze me as they aren't same, same, but wonderfully varied! Applause, applause!!
I'm on board for your April finishes! Have fun!
Hugs!
Your gift closet is filling up!
