I'm on a Mission (31) update
 

Ok - slight change of plans - I decided to concentrate on the kiddo's quilts first - of which I have 13 of 14 tops done. While working on one of them (the red/blue Ohio Star), I found out the child I was making it for was not as old as I had thought (turned 7 the day I was working on it. I thought he was like 10 or 11), so I finished what I started (I literally had the outside border to add on when I found out it was his "7th" b-day, rededicated it to to an adult and started from scratch on another I-spy quilt ("Kade" one) for him. So here is the balance of those.

It will take me a little longer to finish the last one since it is paper pieced, plus I am debating on changing the entire design of the quilt to something different.

These have been fun and I wish I had time to finish all of the adult quilts before starting the quilting process but I think that would really be pushing my luck. I do have a back-up plan on the adult quilts however. 4 of them live out of town (2 - way out, like out of state out), so they are the next 4 quilts on the list outside of these 14 kids quilts. I figure the rest I can hand deliver after Christmas as needed since everyone else literally lives within 5 miles of us. But I will press on and see how far I get.

Thanks for stopping for a peek and have a great quilty weekend!

Wow, you certainly have been on a mission! Lovely quilts!

You sure are on a mission! I thought I was a 'lean, mean, quilting machine' but I see you are my equal... I just love them all!

Those are wonderful! Very inspirational. Thanks for sharing. You have been very very busy!

Wow! and Wow! Those are beautiful quilts. You must stitch 24/7 to finish that many quilts. It's quite OK to change directions on our quilts. Best wishes for your project and completion. I hope you take a picture of all the quits together at some point.

Wow! Every one of them will be treasured!

They are all lovely, but the Shadow quilt is exceptional. Beautiful colour placement.

I think they are all great but I love the batik shadow box one - divine

All so wonderful and unique. I love the batik shadow as well, but if I were to pick one for keeps, it’d be the third from the bottom. What is that pattern?

Good job! Beautiful quilts! They are all great!

All of them are beautiful.

Wow. You'd turn any mission impossible into a mission possible. Great quilts, especially love the shadow box one.:thumbup:

Wow, love all of them. Your recipients are very fortunate!

Absolutely beautiful work. Perfection in your piecing! Love the shadow box too! Time for you to take a break and admire your work.....you should be proud.

Wow! you nave been busy! They all look great!

Absolutely your shadow quilt top!

What a beautiful array of quilts. I'm sure the family will love them!

I love the border on the scrappy pinwheels!

What a wonderful collection. Your mind must wander a lot to come up with all those different designs. Keep it up.

Lovely, lovely, lovely. None are quickie quilts but all are interesting and individual. You are on a mission! I keep looking back to choose a favorite and I just can't pick one! You are blessing your family with beauty and warmth.

Thank you. I am having a hard time choosing my favorite as well. The one you are asking about is the jewel box block set in sashings. No particular pattern.

There is a pattern for the "jewel box", I called it shadow somethings. I thought I got it from Missouri Star Quilt. Not navigating real good. My avatar cat is sick....won't get out of her bed.

My mind doesn’t think quickie designs that’s for sure. That is what has created the time crunch problem. Lol. I can’t pick a favorite either. I do lean towards the shadow box and the orange and blue one (my variation of “All roads”).

If I could get hubby to run the quilting machine. I would be set at least the. I would have a little help along the way.

I am going to finish the last quilt top then start quilting all of these quilts. I plan to do a simple stipple on them because it is quick and it won’t take away from the designs. I have found that the more ornate the quilting the more likely the quilts won’t be used, so quick and easy is the plan.

Thank you. Yes my mind wonders a l o t! I find designs online that I like and in my quilting program or make them up/alter them as I go. Coming up with 31 different yet. It terribly hard designs has also been a challenge. I have two left to redesign in the entire collection.

Oh my gosh, they are all fabulous!!!!!!!!
The one with all the squares is to die for. But all are marvelous!!!

Wow and double wow pretty quilts

I love them all!!! The one with the name "Kade" on it is great and I also love the pinwheel one. You certainly have been on a mission and what a fantastic finish. You must sew all the time

All of them are fun designs and will be loved by the recipients. I especially like the addition of KADE in the I-spy quilt. I can tell you have put a lot of thought, time, and work into each and every one.

Your work is so nice. I can see you've been doing this for a while. And donation quilts, too. What a good person you are.

Woman...your are driven. Wonderful quilts.

Wow, one is just as great as the next!

I wish I could do so many at any given time. They are beautiful!

Oh my goodness! Your quilts are just lovely ... but have you even stopped to eat? Haha I use the same expression (on a mission) when I'm fired up to get something done so I get where you are coming from. Keep up the great work.

What a great collection of quilts! It took me a minute to see Kade in the eye-spy but I think I'm going to use your idea and design mine with the name in the middle. I love that pattern! I really like how the borders on your quilts reflect the central pattern.

Holy Moly - You are a quilting machine!!! Great quilts!!

Nice quilts.

Wow, so many pretty quilts! Great work! I love the shadowbox one, too.

What a beautiful body of work you are sharing. Can't wait to see the rest.
