It's been a productive month for me - lots of time in the sewing room which makes me happy! I did get the next round on my SAHRR done yesterday - and I'm really happy with it! The prompt of half square triangles was a little tricky since I did pinwheels last round, but I came up with a fun idea!
I thought a ribbon border would be a good way to use half square triangles, not a bunch of tiny piecing and it makes a great frame! I got to pull in that pink that I've been wanting to use at last, too! Now I'm ready and waiting to see what the next round will hold. It's up to 28 x 28 inches at this point.
I also finished my UFO project for January! So cheerful - I am delighted with it. I did a simple meander on it because soo many seams - and anything more just would not show up with all the piecing in this quilt. I think I'll use this one on my bed in March - that's our anniversary month and these were our wedding colors!
My project for February will be to finish this UFO! (Number 2 on my list is what the random number generator came up with!) This is a mini version of my Memories of the Titanic quilt. I have all of the outer border pieced, so I just need to make the center medallion and the storm at sea blocks. Don't ask how I ended up making this one from the outside in - maybe because I wanted to paper piece the outer border? I'll be pulling some fabric out of my blue stash for this one, so it should be fun! It will be a challenge to make those storm at sea blocks, but I'm ready for it!

I also had three quilts completed for the next Island Batik Catalog, I'll show you those soon. A good month of quilting all in all, my sewing room is getting decluttered and I am getting a grasp on all the unfinished projects that take up too much room in my room and my mind. Looking forward to seeing how much I can accomplish in February!

That border kind of looks like a garden trellis too . Its very pretty!
Your January finishes are all so cute and I really love your bed quilt finish. The colors are very cheerful. There is nothing wrong with starting on the outside and going in!! I love this pattern and can see why you would want to finish those paper pieced blocks first. I look forward to seeing this finish. I know it will be stunning. I love the ribbon border using HSTs for your SAHRR. Very unique. I look forward to seeing your IB quilts in the catalog. I miss you being an ambassador this year. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
My wife, whom I consider to be a talented quilter, who has many years of experience, tried the Candy Heart from the Jelly Roll Inspirations book. It was a nightmare.
Has anyone ever successfully completed it?
