    Adorable quilt! I look forward to the day I retire and can do monthly projects like this!

    I am very lucky that I have the time and a designated sewing room.

    In all fairness, I should say I'm not making them at the rate of one a month -- just that I will have one for each month when I'm done I started a couple of years ago and have a couple of years ahead of me.

    November is pieced, I'm doing a new December as the first one is couch sized both it and January has it's fabric collected and pattern chosen.

    February (Valentines) was my first one, it's been done for a couple of years now by the time the others are done it will probably be time to replace it. March (St Patrick) and April (Easter) are pieced. May is done, block is Mayflower and each is a different floral. Looks like Winding Ways but no curve and all the same backgrounds. June top just finally got done this year after a couple of years of collecting the fabric. June's theme was Vacation and is actually postcard shaped/sized pictorial fabrics in an attic window setting.
    2019 Fabric Moratorium

    July is done, red/white & blue of course. August is my Barn/Harvest quilt in progress. It will be a contemporary quilt with a few paper pieced blocks and lots of embellishments after it is quilted. In my head it is the "next" project but I keep avoiding that paper piecing. September top is also done but not quilted yet, since it is my birthday month I just chose a project I wanted to make for myself

    Love your quilts and really love the backing on your Halloween quilt. It is so compatible with the top front. I too am making quilts for all holidays. I have 2 Halloween quilts that are in the WIP stage and hope I have them quilted for next Halloween. Thanks for sharing your pictures of your quilts.

    Wow! A quilt a month? That's ambitious, but looks like you've got it under control. Both quilts are lovely

    I love your quilt! The backing fabric you chose is just great with your top.

    Iceblossom, you gave me a great idea. I have a fat quarter bundle of wintery fabrics and the lightbulb went on so I'm going to make a winter quilt for our bed. At first I thought of Christmasy fabric but then I thought I'd enjoy this one longer. I mentioned we have a King so I'll send it out to be quilted. That size is too big for me to tackle.
