I was determined to use up every last leftover triangle from last week's flimsy to make the back for that same top. Apologies in advance for the terrible photo quality.
I just about did. I think it took almost as long to piece as the quilt front but I am so happy with it. The piecing is not curved. There was a breeze while I was taking the photograph and the quilt would not stay still.
Now just to quilt it. It has been so hot and humid here in Brisbane that I am putting off trying to push the quilt through my old Bernina. I am loving the cobwebs in the lights that we always have hanging across our deck. Happy stitching everyone.

I feel like I have had a slow start to the year. In reality I have been working on three different quilts at the same time but I do have a finished top to spare. It could be called a scrap quilt as it is made from the leftover fabric from my Pink Ribbon Quilt.
It has been so hot here and working with lots of fabric uncomfortable so I have been playing with lots of scraps.This one is for charity when it is finished.

I managed to finish 5 out of 6 goals last quarter and was quite happy with that, this quarter I am aiming to complete another 7. I have 18 quilts on my UFO list and would like to complete them all by the end of this year giving me a chance to plan a whole new list for 2018 - not sure how successful I will be but here goes with the Quarter 1 list.
1. All Linked up - just need to finish piecing this quilt and then make it all the way to the finish line. It is a gift so that should get me moving.
2. Triangle Quilt. - this one will be going to the oncology unit at the Lady Cilento Children's Hospital here in Brisbane. The first 2 rows are complete.
3. Deep Space - This has been on the list repeatedly and is half way quilted- now just to get to the finish line. This UFO is coming up to its 9th birthday and needs to be loved by someone.
4. Jelly Roll Rain - needs basting and quilting. This was a Group Challenge in 2014, time to get it done.
5. Starry Night - the paper piecing has begun now to be completed.
6. PP Birdhouse Block Swap - I was part of a block swap for a while but found it became too time consuming and I wasn't getting much else done. these blocks are some which I received. iIwould need to make a couple more to compete a quilt.
7. PP Star Block Swap - same deal as the birdhouses. I have 11 blocks - make one more and put together.
All the best for meeting your Quarter 1 goals.
Happy stitching
