Clue 6 Finished!

Clue 6 for the Quiltville Mystery went together fairly smoothly, however, I underestimated the strip sets, so I had to make more. I finished those up last night and started on Clue 7.
My Clue 6 strip sets are done.

 I was able to finish all of the A blocks.

 And the B blocks and connect them to A.

 I cleaned the kid's room this weekend and found the puzzles. M & Daddy put them together.

 They were only missing 1 piece!

 My last hand-stitching piece of 2018. The hexie popcorn table runner. I started this one in October 2017.

 I also finished this quilt for my nephew. I just had to do binding, but that's what I worked on New Year's Eve.

I also reviewed my 2018 Quilters Planner and started prepping for 2019. I accomplished a lot and I'm proud of where I'm at in my quilting journey. Using the planner really helps me set and accomplish goals.

If you're completing the Quiltville Mystery, I'd love to hear where you're at. I'm so proud of myself for keeping up this year. Linking up with Bonnie Hunter for the Quiltville Mystery. 

February Progress

While my last post showed a few finishes, it really didn't showcase all I worked on this month. I said at one point over the long weekend (with a snow day added), that I had quilters ADD. I was working on 6-8 projects all at one time!
I finished this green and gold bag for the SDHEA conference silent auction after I arrived at the conference! I set up my sewing and had it done in less than an hour, start to finish. I donated 4 bags in green/gold and blue/yellow.

While I was away a the conference, I made all of these blue and yellow Blue Ridge Beauty blocks. I would like it to be bigger and have plenty of HST's but needed more 4 patches. Since it's the scraps from my Scrappy Y/B trip around the world that I'm using for the 4 patches, I needed to make more of those blocks!

I'm teaching a class on making Crown Royal quilts or really any focus fabric and designing a quilt around the fabric, so I made my brother pillows to match his quilt.

I made a few more yellow and blue scrappy trip blocks.

Then I made a few more... and a few more... and a few more. I didn't take pictures of all of them, but I'm sure I finished about 20 this month. I do about 3 each round of chain piecing.

I made Mathew a blanket for his teddy bear. 


I made this doll blanket for an auction at Mikaela's school.

I made this backing for a black and white baby quilt.

I'm doing the Quilters Planner Sew Along, so I made this block for January.

This is the February block for the Quilters Planner Sew Along

I was able to make a few more 4 patches

And a few more yellow and blue scrappy trip blocks.

I had a quilting day at my dad's house and quilted this baby quilt I made from the leftover blocks of my quilt.

My 5-yard quilt in black/white/ pink/green was also quilted at dads. I need to bind both of these.

I also made this doll blanket with minkee for the auction, but Mikaela kept it for herself.


It doesn't look like I posted my in/out for January, but I was neck and neck, 30.75 in and 33.75 out... Well, I didn't do quite so well this month. I was at the quilt shops a bit too often and my "big" finishes didn't get bound due to a fall that hurt my back on Saturday, so I'll have to keep them for next month. I will be ahead of my stash soonish.

February In - 29.25 Yards
February Out - 14 Yards
Year to Date In - 60 Yards
Year to Date Out - 47.75 Yards
For a total of 12.25 yards, the stash is ahead!
