Here are some of the quilt projects I had fun with in January-----------
I started the Quilts in Progress wall hanging and got quite a lot done, thanks to spending several days at retreat. I still have to sandwich & quilt the main quilt, and then make the 3 mini-quilts that hang from the bottom. You can see more details about this quilt here.
I also completed TWO Calendar quilts! The February quilt - Keep the Heart Truth Growing ..... is quilted and ready for hanging.
The March Calendar Quilt is a completed top, needing only to be sandwiched & quilted to be called done. I really, really love this little quilt!
I also started a wonderful little stitchery BOM from Jenny Elefantz called Promises and Borders.
I didn't get as much done on that as I would have liked because I had a few guild projects that took up a lot of my time this month. I feel pretty confident I will be able to catch up in February. We'll see =^..^=
One other project that I have not even had a chance to share with you yet is a Rainbow Pineapple quilt. I've always wanted to make a pineapple quilt using paper-piecing, and I got the idea from SoScrappy's Rainbow Challenge, so I decided at the last minute to make 2 red ones for January and then several pineapples of each color throughout the year. These blocks finish at only 3.5 inches - aren't they so cute!!! I'm really excited about this one! And I used only reds I found in my crumb box too! Woohoo!!! Even the black is left over from a previous project, so I'm happy to be using it up.
So, what have you started new in January? What are you just bubbling over to start? Get busy and start a NewFO in February and then tell us about it over at Cat Patches! It's not too late!

Thanks Barbara for such a fun Challenge!!!
Hugs & Blessings!
