I'm on a mission!
 

My goal is to make 31 lap quilts by Christmas. I have 4 1/2 tops done and ready to quilt. I have one more scattered geese border, that's what I have been calling it, to put on the 5th quilt. Two of these 5 quilts are my design, the triangles and the exploding lonestar.

I have a long way to go around working 50+ hours a week but this is what I love to do. Wish me luck. Now to get the batting loaded onto my frame so I can get these babies quilted.

Love em! Good luck with your lofty goal!

Nice quilts! I really love the jagged border on your lone star....is there a name for it?

Nice tops!

Any reason for the number of 31?

no kidding, 31, really! They are all so different and beautiful!

these are great quilts!

Your "scattered geese" and exploding star are my favorite! How fun. Don't burn yourself out. That's a lot of quilts you're shooting for!

Inquiring minds want to know why 31? That’s a lot of quilts but you sound like a gal with a mission. We look forward to seeing more of your projects...I love the colorful triangle quilt.

I think I will be paying a lot of attention to your Exploding Lone Star! The persons that you gift these quilts to are very special to receive these beauties.

That's like 3 quilts a month... wow...good luck. Love all your fabric choices

Wow, you go for it! I set a yearly goal to finish one quilt a month. But most of the tops are ufo's. So it's really just sandwiching them and doing it. All's well so far. I'm on to July. Love the first one. A great black and white with one bright color.

Nice looking quilts. I like them all. Good Luck on your mission.

Wow! They are all beautiful! What a lofty goal! You have one little old lady here who will be cheering you on! :)

Wow!! You've done a wonderful job on them. You have set quite a goal to have done by Christmas, I wish you tons of luck.

Sheesh! I want to know why 31 too! 31 grandchildren???? 31 days in your birth month???? 31 ladies in your guild????

Oh my, you don't make it easy on yourself, do you?! It looks like your off to a great start though. They are looking awesome. Good Luck to you, I hope you accomplish what you'd like to.

Wow, a great start. All are so pretty.

I suspect there are going to be 31 very lucky people at Christmas this year. Beautiful quilts.

Love all of your quilts and WOW you have sure been busy sewing. I especially like the one with flying geese in border. How did you do the two different sided borders to your FG? Is there a reason for 31 quilts? What a busy mission you are on.

Wow!! Can't wait to see all the others!!!

All your tops are fabulous! I particularly like the lone star and red, black, and white ones. Good luck completing your goal!

All are wonderful. I love the colors in the 2nd one.

You seem to be really motivated, good for you! Love all you posted, can't wait to see some more!:thumbup:

Very pretty quilts. Just keep going and you should be able to meet your goal.

These are all amazing. You do beautiful work. I, too, am curious - why 31? I wish you luck in your mission.

There are 31 family members on my husbands mom’s side that I have wanted to make quilt for for a long time and it seems that something else always got in the way. So I have decided this is the year I want to get them done. 17 adults / 14 kids. The kids quilts will come first if I start getting down to the wire. 4 of them are done (posted), 2 1/2 of the kids are cut out. All fabric is accounted.

Not much to say except Wow!

You go girl. Love your exploding star.

What a beautiful array of workmanship. Nice quilts!

You're off to a fantastic start!!! I love all of them :)

Great challenge. Good Luck. They are all gorgeous.

An admirable goal...love how different these quilts all are. Good luck on your mission and please keep us posted as you get them completed!

Love your quilts, the second one is a great idea for a quick quilt for donations - its going on my list. Can't wait to see the rest. Hope you make your goal.

What you have done so far is lovely! Good luck on your 'mission'.

These are great! I especially love your tipsy triangles.

Wow! A great ambition.....while also working? Good for you...and good luck!

I love the quilts shown! You have a great eye for using color and fabric in a terrific way! The black, red, and white quilt is stupendous, but all are beautiful!

That is some ambitious goal. You've created some amazing tops so far. Keep up the good work.:thumbup:
