Monday Morning Star Count - Year 5 Temperatures Quilt Finish

Finished! All five of my temperature quilts are done!

The pieced backing is made of many cat fabrics in my stash. The pieced binding is made from smaller cuts of the backing fabrics. 

If you missed the first four finishes, you can check them out at these links:

I’m working on the binding. The hand sewing it on the other side will take a while, but I’m getting closer to the finish.

I also made more hexagons with little pieces of fabric. Nothing is wasted.

I am continuing with the border quilting. I trimmed the extra fabric from the edges. I think the end is in sight.

I continue making small pieces of fabric into miscellaneous hexagons.

 All of the center temperature week squares are quilted.  Next I’ll start on the border quilting.

I made some of my loose hexagons into flowers for a future project.

I continued with hand quilting year five. I’m about half-way with quilting around the hexagon weeks. The ones on the right with pins are not yet quilted around.

 I have quilted around all the squares and started quilting the hexagon weeks.

Stitching is finished but needs to be finish finished

Stumpwork 

I think visiting this list from time to time is helpful.  It reminds me what I have that is still unfinished (and also how many things are still unfinished). I do sometimes finish things, but I also keep starting new projects. 

 

Here are some kits/projects I want to start this year.
