2019 Finish Along: Third Quarter Ambitions

Monday will mark the half way point in July.  Seems this month is going just as fast as the rest of the year has gone.  So fast that it's hard to believe it's time to select a set a few projects that might just get finished before the end of the September as part of the 2019 Finish Along. 



I have a quilt plan for the year.  The three quilts for first quarter are done, but none of the quilts planed for second quarter finishes are off the list yet.  So those are a good place to start for third quarter. 

1.  Vintage Dresses

The borders are on, so the next step is to piece the back and get it ready for quilting.  This quilt is likely to get done before September. 

2.  Red, White and Blue Stars

This quilt needs to have the setting strips cut and pieced, plus add the borders. I'm not sure this one will be done, but I hope to at least make progress on it sometime this quarter. 

3.  Twinkle Stars

This quilt just needs the blocks sewn together.  I'm not sure yet if there will be borders or not. Actually this one probably needs to put ahead of the RWB stars as this one is supposed to be a Christmas gift for one of the Scientist's in Training's friends. So it needs to get done before December. 

I've not been faithfully following my quilt plan and have a couple of unplanned starts that just need borders, so they might actually get finished before number two and number three above. 

The first of those is Storm at Sea.

The borders are already in progress for this one, so it's likely to get done before the end of the quarter. 

Another "off plan" project is the Daisy Chain Mystery quilt.

This project also just needs borders before making a back and sending it out for quilting.  

That would be five finishes for the third quarter.  Three finishes is more probable.  I'd be thrilled with that.  

Linking up with She Can Quilt for the third quarter session of the 2019 Finish Along.

Your projects are all looking so wonderful! You have made excellent progress on your quilt plan, plus the New projects are great additions.

It's lovely to recognise your blocks, seen weekly on the RSC, coming back in a full quilt. All those dresses look spectacular together. I hope you manage to finish your whole list.

I remember you making all those vintage dresses for the RSC. I LOVE the way you did a thin outline around each block. Gorgeous. Twinkle Stars is stunning. Happy stitching AND finishing!

Your Twinkle Stars make for a happy quilt. That's a lot of blocks to sew up, but it will be worth the effort!

Jennifer said...

Wow, so many pretty quilt tops!

Fabulous list! That vintage dress quilt is divine. You've got some stunner in the mix, and I'll be rooting to see some of them (all of them?) show up as finishes! On behalf of the FAL crew, thanks for joining in!
