Nice job! Quite a few of you came through on the mini-challenge! Congratulations to everyone who participated. I'll post a tally on Sunday.

Btw, I unfortunately did not finish mine. :( I did get my piece quilted but forgot to bring it with me when i went out of town on Thursday so no binding. Oh, well, this month for sure. (Right...)

Let's keep this train rolling!

Love the bargello. Wish I had seen it before I choose my fabrics for the bargello class in may.

Two finishes for April.

First, a BOM finished 2:00 am the 8th. Missed the deadline. Piano key border and plaid bias flange binding.

Then, the Edmund Fitzgerald quilt. Finished piecing 11/10/2015 but just finished the binding.

Finally I have a finish to share!!! So busy this year with comfort quilts, but decided this UFO would fill the bill for one of the comfort quilts and give me a finish too!! Finished it today and off it goes in the mail tomorrow! I called this one Lilacs In Spring.

I didn't manage any finishes for the challenge, but I just came back from a retreat where I made tons of progress on UFOs. No finishes, but I hope no one minds if I post a couple of in progress pics. 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.

Krista, your tops look really nice. Now, instead of one quilt from that BOM kit you'll be able to enjoy two quilts.

Krisb, what beautiful and fascinating quilts!

wildyard, your quilt is so gentle and soothing. The butterflies are a wonderful touch.

krista, I was curious about how they were supposed to go together, and looked it up. I think yours looks much nicer than the BOM version. I love those stars! The houses are very cute, too.

Beautiful quilts KrisB and wildyard. Love those stars Krista. I would have wanted to separate the stars and houses too

thanks for the houses. I'm doing a street scene and needed some ideas for houses.
