I was totaling up my finishes for 2018 and there were only four. That was pretty discouraging.
But then, I remembered that the quilt on my bed (the one that has the wool batting) took me over 5 months to complete the hand quilting. That's almost half of the year.

It was well worth it. I love that quilt.

| Rejoice Quilt |
And then I did all that applique on the Roseville project.
and pieced the Land of Liberty Quilt. I don't have a lot of finishes but I certainly don't regret the progress on the other quilts.
I also got 4 more UFOs to the quilt top stage.

I am on the last section of quilting for this one. I'll be done by the end of the week. It was almost a finish for 2018.
The other three finishes besides the Chintz quilt I started with are;
1. The Slap dash quilt
 |
2. Be Mine by Cheri Payne
and
3. The Farm Girl Vintage quilt which I call Grandma's Kitchen.
I guess I never took a picture of it because there is not one to be found. (I finally found this picture when I had just completed the top and before I put borders on it)
It's been a good year~

It looks to me like you have done a remarkable amount of work this year! Way to go! And it is all beautiful too!
Your finishes are amazing! I love, love, love your chintz quilt. AND you hand quilted it. That is something I just don't have the time for. I can tell you really like hand work and are very skilled at it. Such challenges you have undertaken! Hope your new year is as fruitful as this year.
So much work in your Chintz quilt and your Rejoice quilt especially! That counts for a lot! Thanks so much for sharing these all in one place. Lovely work!!
I think you did really well and love all those finishes and projects. There is a lot of work in each project and hand quilting .... heck, yes, that quilt indeed took a big chunk out of the year. Yes, be proud of what you accomplished.
Sweetie, you did well! Especially with the hand quilting! Such a beautiful quilt! Congratulations!
Considering all of that intricate applique, and your hand quilting, I'd say you had a very productive year!
Love the quilting texture on this quilt. Beautiful.
My goodness they are all such beautiful quilts. Happy New Year
Wow, I think you've accomplished a lot, Robin! You have such a variety of styles. I still love Baraboo! And your slap dash quilt looks like an inventive way to use strings. Is that how you made it and did you have a pattern, or did you create your own? Rejoice is amazing. What a lot of detail! I didn't realize you quilted on a frame.... I'm not sure I could do it. Beautiful work, great finishes, Robin.
What a lot of beautiful quilts. Thank you for commenting on my blog
