OK I know it's Saturday, but I'm linking up with
Crazy Mom Quilts for her Finish It Up Friday this week anyway. That is because I have not one, not two, but THREE finishes this week! Yay! I could not bear to shout that they are finally finished. LOL
The first is this little wall hanging that I started about 2 years ago. It was inspired by
Amanda's little pillow, I decided that mine needed to be a wall hanging instead. I finished the top right away and that was as far as it got until a couple of weeks ago when I decided it was time to finish it. I sandwiched it and quilted it then and finished up the binding this week. It still needs some little rings sewn to the back so that I can hang it up, but other than that it is finished!
The second is this little baby quilt that I started about a year ago. Not sure who will wind up with it yet, everybody seems to be having boys! LOL I cut all the little tumbler blocks on my Go! cutter. Love that thing!
And the third and final finish is this baby! I am embarrassed to say that it was started about 4 1/2 years ago. I got the blocks done in a reasonable amount of time, and finished the top several months later in a sewing session at Amanda's house. She helped me arrange the blocks. :) I finally got it quilted about a year later, the binding machine sewn on about a year after that, and I finally got it hand sewn this week. It was originally started as my effort to join in
Amanda's One a Day quilt a long. Needless to say I fell a little behind... LOL. I am so glad to have this project off of my list and into use. In perfect timing for a really cold week being forecast here in Minnesota!
I am not counting these as part of my unfinished project goal this year as I finished them before I set the goal. Next up is to finish my
Scrappiness Squared quilt and a small pillow a friend asked me to make from a special sweatshirt. I hope to finish both by the end of January.
What projects are you working on? Did you finish any up this week?

Such great finishes, Linda! I love all of them! I had forgotten about that pillow. I still never made one for Abby. She would love it!
Your 9 patch quilt was worth the wait. She's a beauty!!!
They look fantastic - really colourful. I love the nine-patch in particular. Well done!
I sometimes think that the longer a project took to finish, the happier I am when it is done. No need to be embarrassed. They look great. I really love the 9-patch.
I am so inspired by your quilts!
