No new finishes, but several projects moved closer to that goal this month.
The Chilhowie (Bonnie Hunter) quilt top is prepped for quilting. The backing is made and also prepped for quilting. The plan is to sandwich the quilt and mark it next week. I have a rough quilting plan and will decide if more quilting is necessary as I go along.
The blue blocks for Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter) are almost finished. Just 2 left to sew up. Orange is the color for May. The orange blocks were finished last year, so the plan is to stick with the blue blocks and get them sashed into 7.5" blocks. If I get that done before the end of the month, it will be time to tackle the remaining purple blocks.
The goal for April was to get Magnificent Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs) moved to finished quilt top. The narrow border is on. The final border will get added this weekend. I'm really happy with how this quilt worked out. It may be my favorite Meadow Mist Designs mystery.
The May and June blocks are all finished for the 2026 Guild BOM. July is in progress. I'm only showing the addition of the May block since that's all I've shown the guild. I've pretty much decided on the blocks and the layout for 2027 Guild BOM. Now I just need to pick the colors and corresponding fabrics for it.
The 2026 SAHRR (Quilting Gail) became a finished quilt top the week we got home from vacation. Now it's waiting in the "to be quilted closet" for it's turn to be finished.
My goal the last couple of years has just been to make progress. Even with the shorter month, several bars in my project progress graph got a bit longer in April.
The chart for last month finally shows some progress in the big section of quilts to be finished. There is still 2/3 of the year left so hopefully there will a few more completed bars at the end of 2026.
