I’m participating in the 2013 2nd Quarter Finish Along hosted by Leanne at She Can Quilt.
I first met Leanne when her mini quilt Shattered was entered into QuiltCon (and won a ribbon I might add). I saw it on her blog weeks before and knew it was something special!
I am actually wearing two hats for the FAL – that of sponsor and participant. I’m sponsoring one of the giveaway prizes because that’s just what I do, LOL!!
Also, I’m linking up my UFO’s as motivation to get them finished on time. So without further ado, here are the quilts I hope to finish this quarter (keeping it simple and manageable):
Baby Bricks in Pink and Green
#1 Pink Baby Bricks – this quilt was one of my early quilt alongs and is technically finished. However, it’s just begging for more quilting to be added in the “bricks” so that’s just what I intend to do.
French Rose Buds Baby Quilt
#2 Baby French Roses is my version of Heather French’s fantastic French Rose Buds pattern. I tweaked the design a bit and made it slightly bigger. I basted it last week so now all I have to do is quilt it and bind it. Easy peasy, right? It’s going to my sister’s brand new baby when I visit next month so now I have double motivation to finish!
Hugs ‘n Kisses Quilt Top
#3 Hugs ‘n Kisses – an updated version of a quilt I designed and made over 10 years ago. This quilt serves double duty – It’s my current quilt along project and I plan on using it for some intense FMQ practice. Also, my daughter has claimed it so it’s going straight on her bed when done. It will definitely be out of my sewing room then!
Can you do it in a week?
Love the quilting on the first quilt! And the flower quilting is just perfect!
Beautiful quilts and I really like the Hugs n Kisses that your daughter has claimed! Thanks for sharing.

Great list, I love your hugs and kisses quilt top! It would be funny if you won your own prize! 😉
That would be, LOL!
Three great projects. I like all of them.
Those are three lovely projects to have to finish up! Good luck!
All three of these are so wonderful! Enjoy
Great projects to work on! This system of writing out your plans on a blog really works for me too. I have been very strickt about what I am working, even now two new projects were added to my to do list… Oops! And I only have two more weeks to finish it all…. Maybe a quarter plan is wiser than a monthly plan!!!
These are wonderful. I really love the baby bricks just the way it is. it is very visual
