Carriem - Congratulations on the finish of not just one, but two projects.
Elly66 - So happy you were able to post a picture of your bargello. I love the color combination.
Krisb - Congratulations on your finished
Wildyard - What great colors for a comfort quilt.
Krista - Love the progress pictures and love them both. There is something about the houses that is fun and the stars are lovely.

Hi everyone! I came really close to getting Oakley's "Traffic" quilt finished for the mini challenge, but we had so much to do to get ready to welcome his little sister that I didn't make it in time. However, it will be done by next weekend, so that will keep me within my personal goal of one per month.
Little (or maybe not so little) Eliza Lane Enzor arrived today at 2:20 pm, 7 lbs, 10 oz, and 21.5 inches long. I get to babysit big brother Oakley tonight. It's nice to sit and rock with a toddler in your arms, even though he puts off so much heat it's like cuddling a furnace. :-D

I had promised a friend that I would get started on her DGS's round robin. Time got away from me and the panels sat here for quite a while. The last two weeks I added 3 individual rounds on the panels and it is being shipped off to the next in line. Not a finished quilt but a finish for me nonetheless.

Krista, you are definitely on a roll. Although you don't care too much for the houses, I like them. It'll make an interesting quilt. What color borders will you be adding? I look forward to seeing both done. Keep going!

I had a quilt kit (block of the month from 2012 or 2013) called Downtown, which was houses & stars. I didn't really like the combination from day 1, but I loved the stars on their own. At first I planned to only make the stars, but I just could not do it 
So I diligently made the houses as I went along. I took this project to a retreat this past weekend, and forced myself to finish the last 4 months (4 stars, 8 houses). And I assembled 2 tops out of the results. I still need borders, but I feel like I'm on a roll with this now.
