Finish-a-long Q1 round up and Q2 list!

It’s time for a finish-a-long round up and my plans for Q2. 

Firstly the projects I managed to finish in Q1, this was my list...

 

• Finish the pouch made from my 100 hexies: I did this first and am using it to store and travel with my ice cream soda quilt. You can see this here.
• A patchwork for my nana’s 80th birthday: no I didn’t but I will have to next month!
• The unicorn pouch I didn’t finish last quarter: still not finished!
• Bambi gifts: yay! I made them. It looked so cute and were happily received. The frame I won’t be entering as it isnt sewing related but you can see the cushion here. 
• Mermaid cross stitch: this was my latest finish and you can see it here.
• Micky quilt: this was a joy to make and gift. It come together so quick and I was very happy with it. You can read about this here.
• 2 Easter projects: I have made these but since they are gifts I won’t be posting them til Q2
• Continue making my advent calendar: no progress. 
• Pin badge banners: not even looked at it!
• The blocks for abbie: I finally finished them, not quite how I expected but she loves them. You can read about them here.
• Car acsessiories: a recent destash purchase has meant the plan has changed slightly but I will hopefully be doing these Q2.
• Birthday stitchers swap project 1: I did it, but have realised I won’t be able to share til later this year. I do still need to keep making though.
• Send a little love swap: finished this (see here) and it has sparked an idea, so I have started the process and am excited.

Plus I’d love to make a start on my ice cream soda Epp (I only managed 3 blossoms but at least it’s a start), postage stamp quilt (a little more cutting but not really anything major) and my liberty quilt (I little more planning and cutting but nothing to shout about).

I thought it was a totally unrealistic list, but have surprised myself by finishing almost half! I am super happy about my progress, especially when I started a few more projects too. The main thing I started in Q1 is a quilt that has been a long while coming. Although I am not finished, I am almost there and the top will hopefully be finished by the end of this week. 

 

Time to plan my Q2 list and this is what I have chosen-
 

• Easter gifts (slightly cheating as they are made, although thought I’d include since I need to remember to actually post them!)
• My meadowland quilt (hopefully to be long armed but will need binding)
• My nanas 80th birthday gift
• Car accessories 
• Unicorn pouch
• Pin badge banners
• Green blanket
• Adele dress
• Liberty cushion
• Birthday stitchers swap project 2&3 (I know I can’t post but I do need to do them)
• Postage stamp quilt
• My first proper pattern release 

Plus I want to do a bit more on my ice cream soda quilt, hopefully more than last quarter.

This list is probably unrealistic again, but you never know unless you try. Plus I have to start somewhere on my very big list, which I must admit is constantly growing. Is everyone else the same?

Best get making and finishing those projects...
