Brutal Honesty {January 2018}

It's that time again! December was not terribly productive as far as my WIPs go, but it's December and I was busy eating cookies. Here are the ladies of Honey, Bunny, and Doll all dressed up for Christmas Eve church:

Honey (Mom), Bunny (me), and Doll (Amanda)

These were my December goals:
1. Finish both Blue in Bloom quilts - Done and done!
2. Finish Farmer's Wife quilt - I still need to bind this one but the quilt IS in my possession.
3. Decide if I want any quilts long-arm quilted - I took my Top Spin to be long arm quilted.

Here are all of my WIPS and if their status has changed since I posted in December

Ready to bind:
1. Farmer's Wife Quilt (RSC 2016 project) -- Both this and #2 were picked up over Christmas. I plan to use the backing to bind this quilt.
2. Gathering Mystery Quilt with Cora's Quilts -- Same as #1, have fabric set aside for binding.

Being long arm quilted:
3. Top Spin -- Dropped off with my mom, will have either a purple or green extra wide backing.

Ready to be quilted:
4. Summer on the Coast Quilt -- Top complete and backing purchased.
5. Traveling Quilt Bee (2016) -- My sister and mom worked together and added a border to this quilt which I will show soon!

Tops partially finished:

Quilt alongs and long term projects
15. Magnolia Mystery QAL -- The finishing directions are now out, but I haven't touched this yet.
16. Monthly Island Batik Ambassador projects -- I finished my December project and my January blog hop project is well underway! I will be one of the stops in the first week of the hop (January 8th) and I will have a fun giveaway of some beautiful new fabric!

17. On Ringo Lake Mystery QAL -- I have currently completed clues #1-4 and have cut clue #5 and clue #6. The quilt top reveal was today and I am very excited!

New projects started:
18. Baby quilt for Claire -- my friends had a baby girl two days after Christmas and of course she needs a quilt! I have been posting progress pictures on Instagram!

My goal for January is to finish both of the quilts that I brought home from the long arm quilter. One is twin sized and one is queen sized. I'm not sure if I will do them entirely by machine or partially by hand yet.
