The last of the log cabin flimsies are finishing
up so that makes me only 6 months behind.
I have finished many this year but three more
are on the chair waiting for quilting or binding!
A few colors are missing from the
R O Y G B I V
of the rainbow!
The Red is waiting for quilting.
I did not get to an orange log cabin quilt
and I'm a bit sad about it, maybe this winter?!
There was a saucy yellow one and 2 green quilts to
follow it up. One blue and 1 purple quilt finished the
acronym but there were also 3 pink ones and 2 multicolored
that went out the door to Zebra and other good homes.
There are 3 left to finish up so that would make a
baker's dozen of log cabins. I will call 2023 a
log cabin success. You can see them all over on
the right side of the page under 2024 Finishes.
Only 1 yellow quilt didn't get into the photo shoot
It was just captured as a pair.
I haven't completed many of my real UFOs
but I think the crazy log cabins should count.
So, if I am counting those, which I am ,
the UFO count for the year so far is :
3 crazy log cabins,
2 rainbow scraps string,
(1 gifted quilt replaced and a spare made)
the thrifted triangle square was quilted,
bound and donated .
Last but not least the baby
pineapple was complete with its
challenging satin border well before the
baby shower, so the total is 7!
Yay me!
A quick review of the, "What is that?"
pile, yielded a few projects for an
upcoming sewing weekend and possibly
fall retreats.
Here is the list :
~one flannel teddy bear shaped quilt to stitch up
~this lovely 16 patch pile to do something with,
~Square dance blocks to join
~curved nine patch
Some of the items I have as UFOs
are imposters and not really started, just
compiled. They may be getting repurposed to
make way for other things.
There are still lots of months left in the
year to do Irish Chains too.
I may start adding some orphan blocks
into the background areas to change things up.
There are still 5 stash buster Irish Chains
to quilt up and 3 tops languishing on the
workroom quilt station that
would love a stitching good time!!
So this can be my next goal to
get some of these completed!
Looks like I have some retreat items ready to go.
Stay safe and sew on!

Shew!!! That is a lot!! and yes - all quilts count - however you want to count them. The real question tho - how is your scrap stash doing? you have made so many cool quilts - is it still full?
ReplyDeleteBursting, they seem to multiply!! Thank you ! We do love our colors don't we!
DeleteWoW! What a wonderful pile of logs..LOL :)
ReplyDeleteLots of logs for sure! Now I have lots of Irish Chains to sew up!
DeleteI love seeing all your 2024 finishes! When doing your log cabins did you have a pattern or just made up your own, what size strips do you like to use for them? They remind me of court house steps too. And OMG your pineapple quilt is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteYes , the courthouse steps is the log cabin style pattern I used . Quiltville has a free pattern. The only measuring is the initial center square and the finish block size!
DeleteI admire quilters. Awesome work.

Your ideas of what you want to do in the next few months would take me the better part of a decade. Kudos to you and go for it! I love your monochromatic log cabin quilts.
