My quilting goal is to finish three quilts in 2015:
I. Pink Shirts Quilt
I participated in the “Shirt Swap” hosted by May Chappell blog. I sent 8 shirts and received 8 shirts in return. It was fun to receive quilts made in fabrics I would not have chosen, but they add character to the quilt. I made 8 shirts to go with the ones I received in the swap. I added frames from solid scraps. The pattern is by Carolyn Friedlander.
To do: Quilt and Bind.
II. Hexies Quilt
On the blog, Modern Handcraft I saw a modern quilt using hexagons as appliques and wanted to do something similar.
To do: Finish Hexies, Quilt and Bind.
III. Crossed Canoes Quilt
I love Crossed Canoes. I want to make a lap sized quilt. These are paper-pieced and I worked on them throughout 2014. I have a dozen or so to complete and assemble the quilt top.
To do: Piece, Quilt and Bind.
So that’s Shirts, Hexagons and Canoes.
Three great projects,looking forward to seeing the end results.

Wow, you don’t pick anything easy! I especially love the hexies – I can’t wait to see how that one progresses, and the shirts – how many are you going to do?

I’m not planning to add any more shirts to the quilt top. I’m going to quilt it and use as a wall hanging.

I’m not sure yet where I’ll hang it. I think it would look nice on the wall beside my clothes closet, though.

Wanda – I’m loving these shirts! Every time you post a picture, or even mention them, I think “oh, those are so cute, maybe I should make some.” Then I remember how much I hate paper piecing and just go back to lusting after your quilts…

You’re so funny, Phoebe. The fun of swapping shirts outweighs the pain of paper piecing, though.
