I posted my first Finish Along list in April 2015 when it was still a “big thing” and hosted on blogland. But even though it switched to @finishalong on Instagram and appears to have died out, I never looked back. I still post my WIP list here on the blog and in a short version on IG. For me it is a very necessary and thus awesome tool – to keep track, to stay motivated… to hopefully, finally reduce the – for me overwhelming – number of WIPs… Sometimes there are also prizes involved – though that is just a nice bonus :)
Finishes
What I accomplished last quarter
No. 6 on the FAL list
First finish was Blue Hearts. Actually it is two baby sized quilts :)
Started with random blue scraps and re-invented for the Quilting the Countdown to QuiltCon 2021.
No. 11 on the FAL list
Next up was my Blakely quilt.
I made this for the second child of a colleague and love everything about it.
No. 8 on the FAL list
Wonky Chevrons was a last minute finish. The pattern is available for free in my shop. This is the super wonky, up and down version. I have no idea why it took me so long to finish, because I love it, too.

I am doing a happy dance. The WIP list number is finally going down.
I have other projects that I might start this quarter. A quilt coat for QuiltCon would be awesome. Though I have no idea if I can make that even happen. I have no clue whatsoever on how to sew clothes and it is getting pretty tight time wise. Also I might start a wall quilt for my sisters new appartment. But so far she has not decided…
I hope that whatever your goal was, that you reached it and are happy with your sewing. All the best for the next quarter.
Stay well,
xo Melanie
