Closing in on Finishes

Most of the quilt alongs/mystery quilts I sew along with start in 1st or 4th quarter.  That only becomes an issue when it's time to produce a finished quilt top for the quilt parade at the end of the quilt along.  That happens for 3 projects over the next 3 weeks. The deadline for the Meadow Mist Designs 2026 Stash Busting Quilt Along is this Wednesday.    


The last 2 blocks in row 4 of Scenic Waypoint are lined up by the sewing machine ready for stitching. 




Still need to finish the 4 blocks for row 5.  The quilt is assembled with sashing and corner stones. So there is a long way to go to have a finished quilt top by Wednesday. Will I get there? We'll see. 

One reason I'm not farther along on Scenic Waypoint is that I spent 3 days last week working on finishing up the borders on Kate's Choice.  Once those were all on, it just made sense to get the binding made and attached.  I'm hand stitching on the back and made it past one corner. 



   
Finishing up the binding will have to wait a few days. Fingers crossed I can have a finished quilt by the end of the week. But any progress on Kate's Choice will have to wait till after Wednesday.    

Linking up with Patchwork & Quilts, along with Sew and Tell Monday.

    Kate's Choice has such pretty colors. Love it. Good luck on the other projects too!! Scenic Waypoint was the pattern from that sew along that I would have chosen too.

    I think Kate's Choice is just looking awesome, Kate! Looking forward to seeing the finished photos. I'm having to figure out how to prioritize certain projects over others, too. Good luck getting Scenic Waypoint ready to share in the parade. Hopefully, a quilt top will work!
