A Year of Finished Projects

I have officially declared this year - the year of finished projects. I have a a basket full of unfinished projects - quilts, crafts, etc... - that I will finish this year. It started with finishing the nativity at Christmas. Yeah, it was technically last year but I feel the need to finish all of the projects that I have been working on. So, I am sharing some finished projects so far. The silly thing is that these weren't projects in my project bin. I saw them and just had to try them out. So, I actually added to the project bin but I also finished them, so I am back where I started, right? Here are my finished projects so far....

I saw this quilt pattern here and I knew that I could make it without the pattern. It was easy enough and I used scraps of fabric that I already had so the project didn't cost me a thing. It doesn't look exactly like the original but it turned out okay. It is a smaller version and is now hanging in my hallway.

This was something I saw on another blog and it looked easy enough to finish in a day. I made the pattern 50% smaller than the original. It was a lot harder than expected but I perservered and finished it. I can't say that I will be doing this type of piecing again. I used my scraps, actually I used the scraps from the Hungry Caterpillar quilt that my mom made for J. I knew I wanted it to be bright but for some reason, most of my scraps are pink. (I know why, I made J a duvet cover and it seems all I have is pink.) This is small and it turned out cute. But it was a pain to make. Two finished projects down and ? to go. I also had time to start the binding on my table runner and stuff some animal toys for Kaleb. I had a busy day today. I hope I can keep it going....and finish all of my projects without adding too many more.
