Finish Along Q1 2020

1.  (Q3 2015)  I'm making a low-volume and turquoise version of a scrappy trip around the world quilt and I've made twenty-four blocks so far.

2. (Q2 2016)  I have been planning this quilt since at least 2013 and would like to at least make a start on prepping blocks.  (I've been saying that for a while...)  I have a range of backgrounds and some gorgeous Oakshott (Scandinavian, I think).  The block pattern is in the photo and I've already completed a test block. 

3. (Q2 2016)  This needs layering and pinning ready for quilting, once I've bought the wadding and decided on how I'm going to quilt it. I doubt I'll make progress on this for quite a while, but once a project is on my FAL list, it stays on until it's either finished or officially abandoned! (No, they're not two different colours of background, it's just the difference between pieced/unpieced and straight/bias - you don't see it in real life.)

4. (Q4 2016) I'm going to turn this pink pin cord into a round neck pinafore version of the Kate dress:

5. (Q4 2016) This rather 80s winter sports print (it really could be from then as it came out of someone's loft!) is going to become a version of the Kate dress, possibly with a v neck and long/elbow length sleeves.

6. (Q2 2017) The top fabric is going to become a Kate dress:

7. (Started around October 2012)  I'm almost finished making the nine patch blocks which will alternate with the embroidered blocks and, wait for it, I’ve written and uploaded all of the stories the stories behind the blocks!

8.  (Q2 2017) I want to make a Christmas quilt (yes, another one!) from these pieces of Winterkist.  I'm going to make a version of Sarah's Stained quilt, with navy sashing (thanks for the idea, Salley!):

9. (Q2 2017) This Italian lawn is going to become a top version of the Kate dress or a shirt no.1, depending on how I feel when I lay it on the sewing table:

10.  (Q4 2017) The pinafore I made last year needs a lining (it needs a slip under it, but the armholes are too low for the slips I have, so a lining it is):

11. (Q4 2018) Jeans: I'm ready to cut out the legs and a trial yoke and waistband so I can tack them together and assess the fit. I’ve been at this stage since about September 2019... 

12. (Q4 2019) I need to make a large rope basket to hold rolled up quilts in the front room:

13. (Q1 2020) Socks for a friend (photo to follow)

14 (Q1 2020) Cushion for this gorgeous egg cup to turn it into a pincushion:

My main focus for this quarter, well, this year, is the reorganisation of my sewing room (too much stuff in too small a space and no way to expand means thinning out what I have and finding new homes for the things I'm not keeping) so there might not be a great deal of anything which requires either a sewing machine or a cutting table (unless I get an urge to cut out the next pieces for a wip and move the cutting mat to the worktop) which means there's only two new things on my list.  I would love to get that rope basket made, though, and think I've come up with a way to make things slightly less likely to go coggly...watch this space!  My list might be getting smaller, but I'm definitely still a member of the #RidiculouslyLongFALList gang because there's no way I'm finishing all these things in a mere three months!

Mini Archie is, as ever, keeping a close eye on me:

You wants one of mine gold coins?  Then finish somefing from your list and you can have one...
