TWO MORE FINISHES FOR JANUARY

Can't believe it's the last day of January, 2018 already!!  I have a couple more finishes for this month. This first one will be given to a veteran.  It's not the official Quilt of Valor, but a similar program and is lap size.

Here's the backing.

I quilted and bound my log cabin table runner.  It measures 15" x 44".

I quilted feathers swirling back and forth across the quilt.

Here's a close up of one corner folded back so you can see some quilting.

I feel pretty good about my Scrap Attack that I reported on in my January 16 post.  I am continuing to sew triangles of men's shirt fabric together and will work on sewing them into quilts.  I didn't finish the quilt yet, but it's being worked on.  Tomorrow I will draw my Scrap Attack project for February.

A FINISH, SOME BASTING AND PROGRESS

My first finish of 2018 is Palmateer Point!  It was quilted in my last post, but now it is bound.

Today I basted two quilts:  a log cabin table runner and a Christmas wall hanging.  I want to get a head start on December.  This wall hanging was purchased at a quilt show a couple years ago.

I have also been working on Barb's block exchange and have the first 22 6" churn dash blocks finished.  I love these blocks!

I have shown these scrappy blocks before  (Charming Squares Quilt from Moda Bake Shop) and decided to put them up on the design wall so I could see if I have enough.  I decided I need to make one more row of 4 blocks so it will be big enough for a twin size bed.  I will add 2" white sashing and that will make it 88" x 56" without the border.  The blocks use 5" charm squares, which I had an abundance of random ones left over from other projects, and they are fun to make.

I am feeling much better than I was in my last post and think I'm over the "creeping crud."  How is your January going?
