So many of us are trying to start the year out by finishing some UFO's. This is my goal too. I made a list of 15 that I will work on from now til July. My first one is from a swap, Delectable Mountains, a Bonnie Hunter pattern. We made blocks out of 30's. Easy enough. I got stumped because I didn't know how to quilt it. Well, yesterday I got it sandwiched. I have decided (thanks to my daughter Stephanie) to stitch in the ditch straight lines following the seams. Tonight I was too pooped from work but hope to make some headway this week in the evenings after work.
My in-between-quilting-project will be my Celtic Solstice blocks. I'm only on clue #2, the chevrons. I am sitting tonight and marking the diagonal squares. Mondays seem to hit me hard nowadays. lol
This is such a big undertaking but I am encouraged by all the Bonnie Hunter quilts I have seen over the years. Even if it takes people a while to get it done, they do finish. I can too!
So here's where the quilt is.....waiting for me, but not tonight. Sooo sleepy...
:o) I can't even blame it on the weather. It's in the 80's! lol

Your Delectable Mountains quilt is beautiful! I'm so glad you're going to get it finished! Good luck with your Celtic solstice! :0)
I love the bright colors of your Celtic Solstice. Best of luck on it. I'm bogged down on the last clue. Just haven't felt like doing a ton of the blocks in one sitting. But..as you said, I will finish it~ And I didn't do any sewing today. I will blame mine laziness on the weather...it was raining~
I just finished my Celtic Solstice Chevrons. I kept making the last 20 using the method Bonnie suggested, but I kept throwing them away. Maybe I was getting tired of them. I finally decided to paper piece them, and now I have them all made. Now that's behind me!!
