Q3 Finish - #4 Cinnamon Bun

Last quarter (Q2) was productive for me, as far as piecing and quilting goes.  Binding...not so much.  This quilt is one that has sat most of the quarter, but on September 10th I decided that my pile of seven (yes you read that correctly), quilts really needed binding.  I had three set’s already made and got them attached that evening after little man was in bed, and was also able to make two additional set’s of binding.  The following night I turned on a little Monday night football and knocked out the last two sets of binding.  Then the hand sewing marathon began.  I am happy to say that this quilt is now complete, and will make an appearance on my bed this winter.  With all of these finishes, plus my current quilts I may have to start putting two different quilts on my bed each month.  Right now I rotate through my quilts (I always have 2 on the bed), and the quilt on the bottom comes to the top the following month….this looks like it may have to change.  My original goal was to have 12 quilts for my bed…equaling one per month.  Not counting this quarters finishes I am up to 15 or 16.  And I have more in process.  I already give lots of quilts away, but may need to start figuring out who I need to make a quilt for and focus on gifts for a while.  I know my sisters will always welcome new quilts into their homes, and my son always loves new quilts for his bed.



Sorry for the cruddy photo, as I went outside to photograph the quilts it started to rain :(

    1. It was quite the binding marathon. 7 Quilts in about 1.5 weeks time. 1 King, 1 Queen, 3 twin, and 2 lap.
