Firstly, of course is the purple stars quilt which isn't any further forward despite my having the border fabrics ready. I need to concentrate to do this, and haven't felt like it!
Sometimes I'm just in the mood for some mindless chain piecing, and since I am such a cheapskate, always have plenty of strips and scraps to use up. These blocks have been enhanced by a LOVE block of free pieced letters in the middle, and are ready for a border.
Here is a Linus mile a minute with Snoopy images for the centres of the blocks, which just needs its binding sewing down and a label. This will be finished today while I'm watching the tv later on.
A few years ago, a lady gave me a lot of hexagons and rosettes her mum had made in the 60s or 70s, and while clearing out, I came across them. Since there were plent of rosettes, I decided to sew them together, and make a pretty Linus quilt. I'm still sewing.
The old quilt which I have decided to finish only needs one more hexagon (which I have made) to be ready for a border. What a lazy girl I am!
Another replica quilt I am unquilting. I machine quilted wineglass shapes without marking them, and they look awful! I am gradually unpicking them, but it's taking a while.

And finally, the lovely house I made at a workshop, which will be made into a 'Welcome' banner.I really need to finish some of these projects before I start any more. I will challenge myself to finish at least five of them before the end of the month! Too ambitious? We'll see!

Go for it Lynda - I ama bit the same just now - flitting from one thing to another. I will be happy to finish one some time soon I think. Good luck xxx
You have almost as many WIPs as me! LOL
I recognise some of those fabrics in the mile a minute, it's good to know they are being used up and will be loved.
you've almost got lots finished. my UFOs aren't nearly that far along. okay, a few are, but I have lots and lots that aren't. fun LOVE crumb quilt! and that will be a great welcome banner.
I'm sure you can do it!!
Crikey mate you have been busy. I spent THE DAY trying to piece a basic basket and could still not get my measurements right. Gave up in the end but will persevere tomorrow!!!
Happy sewing Lynda.
You can do it! Certainly lots to choose from for any mood that might strike you. I must admit I have the same system here...a little hand work and a little machine work going on at all times :o)
Boy have you been busy finishing up. My favorite is the free piecing.
