Like so many quilt bloggers I follow, my
resolutions/goals/hopes for 2019 are pretty much the same: lose weight, walk more, use my stash,
etc. Because I want to keep things as
simple as possible in the quilting realm, I’ve decided to just focus on finishing more quilt projects than I start.
I’m off to a good start. Here is my first finish of 2019. It is English paper pieced hexagons using a
design by Edyta Sitar from her book, Handfuls of Scraps. I elected not to do the applique border and
my hexies are slightly smaller than those called for in the pattern. It measures approximately 55 X 59 inches. I started it in July 2016, so it took me 2 ½ years
to complete.
Finishes 1,
starts 0! (Also, I’m working on the
binding for a small wall quilt.)

it looks great! glad to see you finished it - I don't bother with resolutions I never carry them out anyway
Wow, double wow....that one is one mighty amazing beautiful quilt! Be very proud of this one, girl. It doesn't need anything else. Off to a great year.
I think an applique border would have taken away the glory of the magnificent piecing. Wow, that is an accomplishment!
Beautiful finish! I bet it sleeps great...
I am SO impressed...Good for you...It is just lovely
I did that last year except for one quilt that took a few months! York Lodge. It was great to get caught up. Now to catch up on my 3 left over applique projects! I love your Hexagon quilt. I was going to make it but it still sits in the box!!!! May never get finished!
I have lost 21 pounds and of course continue my daily walk. That is most important. I just wish I had 5 more hours of energy each day to do more!
Have a great week- I hear we are getting some Canadian air this coming week-end and it will be colder! I love the cold. Take care and enjoy catching up. I made a list that is for 2 years for 2019 and 2020. I hope I finish a lot more! Of course my applique projects (3) will continue on thru the year.
