Frederique at Patchwork and Quilts is hosting a weekly linky party and has asked for finished and started quilts for 2020. Well, let me tell you. I finished nothing. Well, I did finish my breakfast.
No that is not entirely true.
I did finish the Beyond the Cherry Trees Quilt top.
It is not yet prepared for quilting. The plan is still to hand quilt it. Maybe next year. You can find the pattern here at sentimentalstitches.
I only started 2 projects this year. Gay at Sentimental Stitches offered a mystery block of the week back in June called 3030 Quilt. Thirty blocks in 30 weeks. We are at week 27. This is all I have made so far. There is an incredible appliqued center medallion that I will get to someday. And the final layout is still a mystery.
The other quilt I started was released monthly also by Sentimental Stitches starting back in Sept 2019. This is the Ella Maria Deacon Quilt
Ella was originally made in 1841-42.
I have 8 blocks done and 7 more applique blocks prepped.
I collected most of the blocks each month, paying half price for them. I started it in April. The plan is to make 50 of the 85 blocks. It is my 50th Anniversary Quilt project.
I have plans to start the QAL 2021 The Curves! on Jan 1, 2021. I will post more about that in January since we are not allowed to actually begin making it until then.
Blessings,
Chris

I'm glad you finished your breakfast! I'll make mine after dropping the kids to school. Beyond the Cherry Trees is amazing. I really need to go find the EMD box and add a few more to the pile. Curves in 2021... that should be fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteThe Curves! QAL sounded interesting. I have followed it the last couple of years but found this info far enough ahead to make a plan and join in. And breakfast with our usual bacon and eggs was amazing.
DeleteBeyond the cherry tree is beautiful! There are a lot of circles on it. I've stalled on 3030 also, need to get back to it next week. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteIt's not so much that I stalled at the 3030 Quilt, but there are just not enough hours in the day and I am waiting for the big reveal to decide on a few colours so I put it aside for now.
DeleteYou have some great quilts in progress there, certainly not quick and easy to finish either, so well done.
ReplyDeleteI love your Beyond the Cherry Trees Quilt top! What a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteGreat projects started this year ;) And I'm in the Curves QAL too ;)
Thanks for sharing your 2020 projects!
I really love the 3030 quilt and wished I had found it when they started it........
