Mission Accomplished

Yes, Mission Accomplished.  I finished the quilts for the Saddle Up before noon yesterday.  It is such a relief to know that they are done.  I haven't taken pictures yet, but will post them when I do.  I really wanted to have four done, and dug out my black and white log cabin top.  I considered finishing it for the Saddle Up.

It was a sew-a-long with Pat Sloan in 2008.  She called it a Break-out-of-Winter project, and named the quilt Log Cabin Insanity.  I really thought it wouldn't be a problem to part with it.  But the more I looked at it, the more I liked it.  So, I'm going to finish it, but it will be for ME!!  I know it may sound selfish, but I really love this top.

Now that the Saddle-Up quilts are done, I need to decided what to do next.  There is certainly no shortage of projects, that's for sure.  I want to make quilts for all the kids for Christmas - before you panic, they're just lap quilts (44 x 56).  For Mary, it's finishing her Toy Story Quilt that I started a few years ago.  For Pat, it's a Bonnie Hunter pattern called Boxy Stars.  It's made of turquoise and pink bandana fabrics.  The blocks are all finished and ready to put together.

 Pam's is also a bandana fabric quilt - it's the
Spin Cycle quilt that I posted from Pinterest.  These are the Blazin Bandana Fabrics that I bought from Bear Paw Quilting.  The blocks and sashings are already cut.  The square-in-a-square blocks are all sewn, and ready to put together.



Kristin's quilt will probably be the most difficult.  I've bought the fabrics to do her a Star Wars character quilt.  The coloring book pages have been found, they have been  cropped and sized and are ready to trace.  It will be a challenge, and I'm looking forward to it.  Izzy wants a princess quilt - I've already done one of those, so it will be fun.  Bubby is getting a Mario quilt since he loves that game.  Jake is really into dinosaurs, and I have enough applique embroidery patterns to do his.  I haven't decided on a theme for Krissy yet.  She loves Disney Vinylmation, and also loves the Disney Nerds.  So it will be a hard decision.  The guys are a cinch.  Jimmy has been asking for a Steeler Terrible Towel quilt for years, and I bought the towels to get started on it.  George would rather watch hockey, and I bought Pittsburgh Penguin rally towels to do his quilt.  Looks like I have my work cut out for me.  Better go get busy.
