2013 Finish-a Long: Quarter 3 finishes

I joined in with the fabulous Finish-A-Long  hosted by Leanne at She Can Quilt  in the 3rd quarter to try and get a few projects crossed of my to-do list here. And surprisingly, I have managed to get all of them done:)

1. First up was a Giant Star quilt using Sandi Henderson's pretty Secret Garden fabrics. 

I got this done in time for DD's18th birthday in September.

 2. Second up was finishing off the Simply Solids X and + quilt .  

This was my first bee quilt - the X and + blocks were made by my fellow Simply Solids Fallow group bee members.

3. Finish off the Scrappy Trip along quilt- I have sewn 20 blocks so only 10 more before they are done. 

All done too! I just loved making this Scrappy trip along quilt - the blocks came together so easily using the very clever strip piecing method from Quiltville.

4. We are in the middle of winter now so I really do need to finish off the scarf for Gem which she has been impatiently waiting for...

And here she is modelling the scarf:)

5. When we went to Sydney, I needed something to keep all of our tickets, documents and maps etc. together. 

  I found a brilliant tutorial for a travel portfolio here.

And could fit everything in there perfectly.

6. Last on my list was another Triple Zip pouch. I had all of the pieces cut out of the pretty Marmalade fabrics, and the interfacing fused on already so this was quite easy to put together. 

So I am quite pleased that I managed to get 6/6 projects done this quarter - 3 of them being rather large quilt finishes. I just need to have a think about my list of projects that need to be done in the next quarter now:)
