So here is my Best of 2019 Life in Pieces posts.

Twinkle Stars
Tutorial by Andrea Feldbush of Soscrappy

I'm still working to get the borders on this quilt, but I keep getting side tracked with new projects. Twinkle Stars started as a Rainbow Scrap challenge project. Hopefully it will make it all the way to finished quilt early in 2020.
2. Most Comments (34): Finally a Finish

| Sophia's Closet (Vintage Dresses) block pattern by Charise Randell |
Vintage Dresses (Sophia's Closet) is another long time favorite project. Getting this project to the finish line is one of my biggest accomplishments for 2019.
3. My Second Favorite Finish: Finally A Finish (apparently this is a favorite blog title for 2019 too).

Inverted Stars is another Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilt that's been a lot of fun to work on. Adding on the alternating up/down star border was so worth the effort. Vintage Dresses is my favorite finish, but this quilt is a very close second.
4. My Favorite New Project: Stormy Stuff
 |
| Storm at SeaPaper Piecing Class by Carrie Randell (Quilter's Hideaway) |
Storm at Sea was a class offered by the local quilt shop. When My Guy saw my planned colors and layout, he said this one should go on our bed when it's done. So that's the plan. I've still a couple of borders to add to finish this one off. Hopefully that will happen early in 2020.
5. Most Linky Party Participants (13): Week 3 of 2019
The 15 Minutes to Stitch linky party goes live every Sunday. Since 2011 it's been one of my weekly goals to stitch for at least 15 minutes each day. It helps me keep my projects moving. The linky party started in later 2011, but I stopped it in 2012 or 2013 due to lack of interest. In 2017, there was enough interest in the concept to start up a new linky party. The plan is to continue the linky party in 2020.
That's my top 5 for 2019. You can see more "Best Of's" over at Meadow Mist Designs.
