Under the Needle: February

 I worked on numerous different projects this month, making progress on 8, beginning 1, and finishing 2 quilts and 25 blocks.

I'm not a tv watcher and  I don't have the television on during the day, but when I DO sit down in the evening, I need to have something in my hands and I just so happened to have a Christmas quilt that needed binding this month. Peppermint Bark Christmas was a good one to work on during the Olympics and it is now a finish.

I had excellent assistance with this pink quilt this month

 and after I made all the flying geese, I got it laid out and pieced into a top. Minky was requested for a backing and binding was chosen and made before handing it over to Jackie and Sandy for quilting.

I made the blocks for this flannel quilt last month and was able to get them all assembled into a top earlier this month. I pieced the back, made the binding and handed it over as well.

I then picked up 4 quilts from Jackie and got the bindings stitched to the fronts

I also made the binding for my S'mores quilt

As well as the bindings for the 2 Balsam Gnome quilts I pieced last month

On my list of quilts I wished to work on this year was a 2nd camping quilt, but I hadn't settled on a pattern. Last month, I saw this pattern called Layer Cake Scattered Stars from the Fat Quarter Shop and I thought it would be an excellent fit.

 So, I pulled my bin of leftovers from the first quilt and cut everything out. I downsized the blocks for this quilt and needed 42. I wasn't able to get this into a top, but all the blocks are ready. I laid out 6 blocks...this is going to be perfect.

I made 25 No Point Stars (12 1/2") for a QOV group 

And those netted some bonus triangles that I trimmed to 2 1/2".

 I was on the fence about keeping these, but I made a Broken Dishes block and decided they needed to stay

And to close out the month, I finished this Woodland Wonders Gingham Quilt

For a short month, I am happy with the progress I was able to make.  March is already filling up with things I hope to work on.
