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, 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… There are also prizes involved – though that is just a nice bonus :)
Finishes
What I accomplished last quarter
No. 8 on the FAL list
First finish was my Modern Tiles quilt including the pattern release and starting the currently running sew along. You can still join us! We just started with week 1.
No. 11 on the FAL list
Next up was my Quilty Stars quilt. Another big quilt and we had so much fun with the photo shooting as I found this awesome mural!
No. 3 on the FAL list
And just in under the wire – two baby quilts finished from my Four Patch project that was originally slated to be an Indian Orange peel design. Things change ;)

Stay well,
