First Quarter Check-In

It was easy to find time to sew in the first quarter this year. I was so busy last autumn with various activities then there was Thanksgiving and Christmas. I was glad to stay home for New Year's and started the year off with sewing!

Around the World Four Patch was the first complete finish in 2025. 

Around the World Four Patch is #13 on my long list of projects for this year.

I have completed severals flimsies for granddaughter Joanna.

Teal Stars has been pieced and delivered to a long arm quilter for quilting. This quilt was #6 on my list of quilts to make this year.


And Peter Rabbit, Book Adventures is also a flimsy. This was # 17 on the list of projects.


I will quilt this flimsy sometime this summer when I have a quilting binge.

Log Cabin Hearts was #7 on the list of quilts to make and it's a flimsy!

Spring is showing signs of coming, the temperature has warmed up and soon spring flowers will be on display.  Then it will be harder to sit and sew but until then, I'll keep my foot on the pedal and sew, sew, sew!

Nice review of quilts! I still love that log cabin hearts quilt. I contacted the eBay seller for an update on a shipping date, and she said "I'm not sure" and issued me a refund! So weird. I took that as my sign not to purchase the pattern - lol!

Your Around the World 4 patch looks so lovely and fresh.

The 1st quarter of the year has been a busy one for you. So many beauties. Hmm I am not sure how I missed Peter Rabbit- adorable!

Yeah for you achieving so many of your year's goals. Such pretty quilts, too, I only wish that the warmth had spread up here. But do enjoy; spring is just so lovely.

Only 3 months into the year and you have managed to attack/finish 4 quilts. Very impressive. With two of those quilts featuring teal you are ahead of schedule for the RSC. I do love teal and your quilts featuring same.

Great job on these quilts! I really love them all but my favorite is the teal hearts. Thanks for linking up to TGIFF!

I can't imagine planning to work on more than one or two quilts in a single year. I love Around the World Four Patch.
