I managed to get two quilts finished in July. The one on the left was quilted by Robin Diaz so I just had to trim the quilt and add the binding on it. The top was made in May so it was a fast turnaround. It is 62.5" x 79". The fabrics are Kaffe collective with most of the large prints designed by Philip Jacobs. Most of the light fabrics are Kaffe and Brandon designs.
I quilted the flannel baby quilt on the right. The squares were sewn together last year, so on this one I added the border, did the quilting and the binding. It is 39" square.
I have several started projects, one just needing a border, one is blocks waiting for a sashing and border decision. Right now I have 15 finishes and 11 new quilt tops for the year. That is progress in the right direction for more finishes than starts. I have 2 more quilts back from Robin that I need to trim and choose binding for so I'm hoping that is 2 finishes for August.
My friend was back yesterday using my design wall and I played with some pieces on the other wall. Across the center of this layout is 3 Kaleidoscope blocks without corners (so you can see the break down of the design). I saw this layout somewhere and wanted to try it out. The triangles will be a second light fabric.
I showed this photo a couple weeks ago and it is using the same pieces as the photo above. I have taken these pieces off this design wall and will bring them up to my main floor studio to continue designing. Are you counting? That's 2 more new projects.

So you have 2 design walls? When you say "up to my main studio", is your house 2-story? Sorry so nosy! ;)
You really are moving in the right direction for getting ahead of your WIPs. I can't say the same for 2025.
You had a good July despite your physical issues.
Good for you with more finishes than starts--I don't think that I've ever been in that position;)))
I like the start of that Kaleidoscope block...I am going through my "started and abandoned" pieces and there are a lot of them...always some stumbling block that I couldn't figure out!! August is designated as "finish it up or donate it" month for me...
we'll see how long that will last, right?
61 lovely cool--even if rainy --degrees here. once it begins to clear I hope to walk outside for a nice change...
Hugs for a good weekend...Julierose
I like that Kaleidoscope quilt design interesting!!
You have had a great July with finishes and starts…. “I don’t know where the time went and what I got done” but you always have a grand ‘show and tell’ for us, each month.
I love the larger colorful quilt you finished this month and the pattern the blocks create!
Well done in finishing more quilts than you started in July.
I came across a box of scrappy blue HSTs yesterday so have totally derailed myself.
Thank goodness our high today is 76*F and the low tonight is 67*F. It's still overcast from our overnight rain. The forecast is for cooler days for the weekend and through Thursday, but haven't seen what follows.
Hugs!
I am in love with both of your new projects! Congrats on your July finishes.
