I posted my first Finish Along list in April 2015 when it was still a “big thing” and hosted on blogland. But even though it switched to @finishalong on Instagram and appears to have died out, I never looked back. I still post my WIP list here on the blog and in a short version on IG. For me it is a very necessary and thus awesome tool – to keep track, to stay motivated… to hopefully, finally reduce the – for me overwhelming – number of WIPs…
Finishes
What I accomplished last quarter

No. 7 on the FAL list
First finish was “Criss-Cross” our group Community Outreach Quilt for QuiltCon 2022 in Phoenix, Arizona.

No. 5 on the FAL list
And I finally finished “Rainbow Fragments” my 12-color-gradient quilt from the “All the Diagonals” pattern.
This one was accompanied with a big pattern upgrade. You can find more information including lots of fun mock-ups in this blogpost.
I also started fabric tracking and wrote a blog post about my process including excel files for download if you want to join me with your own tracking.
WIP List
All my current projects

No. 9 – Patchwork Hearts
(Q1/2022)
NEW
Just for fun because of the sew along. Top and backing finished.

No. 11 – Bright Side I+II
(Q1/2022)
NEW
One top done, one stack of blocks finished. Will most likely donate as tops… so I am counting this as one.

No. 12 – Pink Speckled
(Q1/2022)
NEW
From pink-yellow speckled scraps from QuiltCon2020 in Phoenix. Top is done.
And I am back up to the magic number of twelve. That is what happens when you start new projects left, right and center just for the FUN of sewing. Though if I do donate the Bride Side tops as planned, they will shortly drop off the WIP list ;)
I hope that whatever your goal was, that you reached it and are happy with your sewing. All the best for the next quarter.
Stay well,
