Meg's Finish-it-up Challenge had me look at all the little (and big) things I have started. Besides joining quiltalongs and block of the month-type projects (which is just always just one more block), I am going to try to finish some of my on-going projects this summer. Check out Meg's challenge at

This week I also completed the We Can Do It Skill Builder with Leila at
I made this lovely Log Cabin block. It is my first log cabin block ever. I like the little owl in the middle.
Here are some UFO's that I will be trying to complete this summer
Quilt guild 30" x 30" Quilt for the quilt show... due in October.
California King Country Kitties -- needs a back, quilted and binding
Baby quilt for my niece. Her shower will probably be in July. Gotta get busy on this one. At least I decided on the colors and fabric. Now I have to come up with a pattern/arrangement.
Victorianna quiltalong. LOVE the colors of this one! This picture doesn't do it justice.

Red and white flower basket quilt. This probably won't be finished this summer. But I love to look at it. I will probably also work on cutting out more pieces while we are camping this summer. I won't take my sewing machine on the camping trip, but I will take my fabric that needs cut.
This Jellyroll Race Quilt needs a back, quilted and a binding. I may choose to make it a little bigger. My husband keeps saying that he likes the colors on this one. I was planning on giving it as a gift but I guess we'll keep it. You can check out 1Choice4Quilting's site at

I might be just dreaming on this one, but it is a UFO. I am not happy with the blocks. There are only two. I could turn them around and they are Bonnie Hunter's Boxy Stars pattern.
Also this week I was able to use one of my new cool quality made labels from Jennifer's Jewles. I won these from KoolBeenz. Just had to thank them and show them off again.
I love this quilt that needs a back, quilted, and binding, of course. My husband thinks it needs a gold border... not sure about that. But I do have some gold I need to get from storage upstairs and we'll see what it looks like. My husband is usually pretty good with colors and such (much better than me.) This quilt was a Mystery Quiltalong with

Then of course I also have the beautiful pineapple blocks that I received from winning the Block Lotto. It is a Bonnie Hunter design as well!
