2024 Finishes

Sauerkraut and pork roast is in the oven and now is a  good time to list my finishes for 2024. It was a fairly good year for finishing UFOs. Not as many as previous years but that is how they sometimes fall. I had one new start (Betty) which was also finished. Aren't I just the disciplined quilter - finishing new projects so they don't carry over into another year? Ha! Should I mention the ones that I started but didn't finish??

2024 = a total of 8 finishes, and I busted through 89 yards of stash. In no particular order: 

 

1. Merry Mayhem's New Year Mystery - Twist and Shout, 52"x63"  8 yards

2. Merry Mayhem's Mystery Expanded - started in 2016, 85"x85"  12.81 yards

3. Scrappy Quilted Forest Block - a new start, 72"x88" 14 yards

 

4. Betty, Takes 2 Charm Packs QAL, 52"x64"  8 yards

5. Dear Jane Siggies Quilt, Handquilted, 71"x78"  11.2 yards

6. Wee Wonderland, 76"x76", 13 yards

7. Vortex, 74"x79" 11 yards

8. Traffic Jam 71"x71" 11 yards
