I worked on several things in January and a few of them made it to the finish line. The floral quilt is mostly fabrics from the 1990s. It is 52.5" x 71" and the squares are 6". The pink and gray baby quilt is made of flannel and is 32" x 40". I'm going to concentrate on lots of baby quilts this year.
The 2 small tops were easy ones with the one on the right only needing its side borders. I started it in 1991 in a workshop. I think it will be a nice baby quilt at 30" x 38". The one in the center was made from blocks that were remains of strata from some previous project paired with a large print of the same colors. It is 32" x 36". I have backs already chosen for these 2. The large top was started on January 21 and finished yesterday. It is 56" x 80". Most of the strips were cut somewhere near 2009 when I was teaching a class with that pattern. I have lots more strips so you will be seeing another Double 4 Patch in a different color range.
There were a few small items. The table runner is made of Marcia Derse scraps and it is 14.75" x 40". The back is the same fabric as the binding, the same print as the white borders in the black/gray version of it. The 2 small mats are close to 8.5" x 11". They were both already quilted and just needed the stitching around the edges to finish them. They have a layer of stiff interfacing in them so they lay nice and flat.
I decided I'll show the dishcloths for the month instead of daily when I finish them. I got 6 done. Three of them have another yarn added on the corner. The green tweed one has red tweed added and then I needed a little more so I used the leftover red from the red/green ball. It looks like I dipped the corner in cranberry juice.
It's hard to get a photo with all three of the blooms in it so this is the best one I got.
There is another flower stalk growing so I have hopes of more blooms later in the month.
The sky was clear last night and the moon was beautiful. My calendar says the full moon is today and maybe that meant early this morning.

Lovely finishes in January, Wanda--I love the center baby quilt with those brighter colors;)))You've also knitted a lot of lovely dishcoths--I love the ones you gifted me!! :)) Thanks again...
Temp is now 10 with the windchill of 3 degrees...and the skies are overcast and gray...now that February has dawned perhaps we shall see some warming days? I hope so; I miss walking outside..
Warming hugs, Julierose
The green tweed dishcloth does, indeed, look like it was dipped in cranberry juice! Way cool, even though not on purpose, lol.
so many projects I do like those crazy squares that you made into a runner
Applause, applause!! Again, you've gotten several quilts and smaller items over the finish line and they are delightful!
We're still frozen in and somehow our trash bin at the street has been knocked over. I'm debating whether to leave it there until tomorrow when things might begin to melt or brave the slippery ice.
Hugs!
Super Sunday post today with much to see and read about. January finishes, to dish cloths with photos of your Amaryllis in between all so lovely.
You had a great month -- the double four patched turned out beautifully! That's a great photo of the moon and I love your edged amaryllis bloom.
You accomplished so much this month. I love the Marsha Derse runner.
You had a great month of finishes and tops made! The green dishcloth with the red corner - love it! The moon was so bright last night with the reflection off the snow!
