February NewFO's and Progress

Time to list my NewFO's for Barbara, over at Cat Patches, and also list what I made 'Progress' on in February.

I started on the Harry Potter 'The Project of Doom' quilt in February.  The patterns can be found over at Sewhooked.

I also 'found' a few UFO's while going thru some stuff in my basement.  These next quilts are now basted, and marked to be quilted (Progress).

2nd Flag quilt

My little quilt guild is having a 'box' exchange.  We all bring our 'box' full of stuff we want made, and pass it around to each other to work on.  These are the blocks I made for the first month of the exchange.

Kay's block #1

Kay's block #2

extra block made from extra HST's

I didn't like the lack of contrast in the second block, and, since I had just enough extra HST's left over, I made a 3rd block.  Kay's pattern only calls for 2 of these blocks, but, now she has a choice in which 2 she wants to use.

Not only was 'Progress' made this month, but, I had 2 finishes! 

quilting on a hand crank sewing machine

I added the borders and quilted these 2 mini wedding quilts.  I also bound them and sewed on hanging tabs.  The machine sewing was done on my Singer 99 hand crank. (I also used this machine on the Harry Potter blocks shown above & Kay's blocks). 

Chris & Crystal's wedding quilt

Nicole & Craig's wedding quilt

Yes, I know how late these wedding quilts are.  Both are now delivered.  Both couples understand that 'life' got in the way of finishing these quilts. 

I'm headed off with a friend to visit 2 quilt stores (like I need any more fabric or projects) then, hopefully, this weekend will see more progress on a few projects.
