FAL Q3 2018 - results

Wouldn't you know it! I actually finished something on my list this time round!!


My original Q3 list is:

1. Piece the top of my Round Robin 1
2. Finish hand quilting and bind Anthologie Quilt
3. Baste, quilt and bind Irish Fields
4. Baste, quilt and bind Linen
5. Quilt and bind the BFG quilt - I totally did this!!!!!!!!! (or at least... I did the quilting part)
6. Quilt and bind Not-A-Jell-Roll-Race
7. Quilt and bind Pink Bubbles
8. Quilt and bind Rainclouds 2 (littlest Ball )
9. Piece, baste and quilt Bees - Pieced, backing purchased and sent off to the long armer

My slow burn projects for the quarter are that I want to:

1. Finish designing the AMH Plot Twist and have all pieces basted to background
2. Kingfisher - baste shapes and stitch flowers
3. Add to the pink and yellow medallion
4. Finish Bec & Deb's rounds for the Round Robin 2 and potentially start adding to my own top as well.

So 2 from 13... not exactly a win, but still: I've done worse.

Since Q4 includes Christmas, the order of my list is changing up a little.  

1. Bind Linen Bricks
2. Hand quilt and bind Penny Christmas
3. Finish 3 Christmas cushions
• Ba Hum Bug
• Have yourself a Merry little Christmas
• Merry and Bright
4. Quilt and bind Grinch Quilt
5. Bind Swarm
6. Bind Glimma Jelly Roll
7. Bind Ghosts
8. Piece Holly Berries (then buy backing)
9. Piece Texting Love (then buy backing)
10. Quilt and bind Not-A-Jell-Roll-Race
11. Quilt and bind Pink Bubbles
12. Quilt and bind Rainclouds 2 (littlest Ball )
13. Finish hand quilting and bind Anthologie Quilt
14. Baste, quilt and bind Irish Fields

I have a quilt I'd like to gift this year, and I'd like to up my decor game, so the first 3 are all due by Christmas and if I can squeeze item 4 in there too, I totally want to. 5, 6 and 7 are simple binding and would actually give me some proper finishes for the year.  The rest of the list are bonus's.

My slow burn projects for the quarter are that I want to:

1. Finish designing the AMH Plot Twist and have all pieces basted to background
2. Piece the top of my Round Robin 1
3. Kingfisher - baste shapes and stitch flowers
4. Add to the pink and yellow medallion
5. Finish Bec & Deb's rounds for the Round Robin 2 and potentially start adding to my own top as well.

These slow burns are kicking my butt. Plot Twist is taking up my entire design wall, so the layout is my number 1 priority, even though it's on the alternate list.  I just need to finalise the design and I'll be free to work on other things.

And of course, I've missed the link up deadlines, but this quarter is already kicking my butt, so so be it.  Wish me luck!!
