I made a list last December of challenges for the year 2022. Now at the end of 2022, I'm reviewing how many of those challenges I've met. I had no idea we'd be moving to a new home during 2022 which definitely had an impact on my quilting progress.
Todays post is about challenges 11 - 15.
11. Fire Island Hosta Queen - Didn't happen, maybe in 2023?
12. Goose Garden - Another one that didn't happen, again maybe in 2023?
13. Charity quilts - One of the charity quilts that was finished was the String X quilt which I showed a picture of in the last post. I had thought about keeping this quilt for our own use but changed my mind and donated the flimsy. I did finish a couple of smaller quilts here and here.
15. Get Together quilt - While I was organizing my quilting projects for the big move, I realized I had already pieced the 9 patches needed for this quilt.
The Get Together quilt is the cover quilt on issue 163 of American Patchwork & quilting magazine. The idea of the title was to exchange 9 patches with friends but my 9 patches have all been sewn by me. I need to come up with a different name for my quilt, maybe 9 Patch Beauty?

When I think of your projects this year, I think of Welsh Beauty and everything else takes a step back, like a hush falls on the room when the queen enters... Goals Shmoals. You made WELSH BEAUTY. End of Story!!!Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeletewhen I saw get together, all I saw were the crazy sashings and said nope. But your 9 patches are great and I look forward to seeing you make it
ReplyDeleteWow I'm in love with that red, white, and blue quilt! It's FANTASTIC and I love all the cardinals! Looking forward to seeing your 9 patch quilt! Enjoy your weekend! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteSo many quilts - so many choices to pick the one I love the best and it is the Flower Patch Sew Along - if it had not been paper pieced I would have loved to make it! Yours is so beautiful and such bright colors that really stand out in each block. Lots of work in this one also! Hugs
ReplyDeleteI just fell down the Get Together rabbit hole. Maybe this is one I can do without too much stress. Nine patches? Piece of cake! Paper piecing? I'm a pro! Add 5 more blocks and sashing to get a rectangle? Can do! Thanks for giving me the idea!
ReplyDeleteI love how your Flower Patch turned out. I downloaded all but one of the clues and I'm hoping I'll have time to start it next year. I even bought some backing with cardinals on it so maybe I'll have to change the colors up a bit to coordinate better with it.
ReplyDeleteI love the Flower patch sewalong. It is a real beauty. Thanks for linking up to TGIFF!
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful projects. It's fun checking things off the list! I'm not great at naming quilts, but the first thing I thought of that was a variation of "Get It Together" was "I Got It Together". That's all I've got. lol
ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects!! and its great to see progress on so many of them
ReplyDeleteI really like the double nine patches... pretty!!
You have to leave some projects for next year ;)) I love the name for the 9-patch quilt, and it's going to be another stunning one. A lot of flying geese to come ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, and linking up today!
I've enjoyed reading your last two posts providing a roundup of what you have accomplished and what is still going forward. Beautiful quilting all of it, Gretchen. A pleasure to read about.
ReplyDeleteI love nine patches :0)))
