Fancy Foxes 2.0

I finished my Fancy Fox Quilt in time to link up with the 4th Quarter Finish-A-Long for 2017.

You can see the link party here: 4th Quarter Link Up

Check out everyone's finishes for the last quarter:  

I had the top completed about a month ago and quilted and bound it last night.

This is my third and final finish for this Quarter and one of the best quarters I have had in a long time in regards to finishing old projects.  I usually work a little bit on some of them and don't finish any.  So I am super excited to finish three UFO's this time around.

You can see my original 4th Quarter UFO list here:  Ambitious 4th Quarter List

This quilt came about from a jelly roll I bought to make one quilt.  The Jelly roll actually had enough to make two quilts.  The first one was made in winter of 2015 and gifted to my friend. I cut out the pieces to make this second one at that time as well. This winter I finally finished my version.

Twin quilts in two different states.  Same fabrics, slightly different fox arrangement.
Like BFF charms.  :)

Starburst Lonestars Finished

 Another UFO finished today.  

I started this one in January 2014 for the Kona Solid Blog hop.

You can see the original post here.

In January 2014 I had the top pieced and had quilted all the stars using my domestic machine. Then it got folded up and sat for a long time while other projects got finished first. 

In October I got myself a new toy. The first thing I quilted on it was my Zebra quilt top (I still need to get a finished picture of that one). Then I looked through my UFO pile to find another top to play with and I came across this quilt in the pile.  It was already half quilted and trimmed for binding.   

I wasn't sure if I could load a trimmed quilt onto my long-arm, but it worked no problem. I had already quilted in the ditch in all the sashing, and had a few lines marked for the white so I got to it and finished all the background quilting.

I did some quick feathers in the blue border and finished the binding this morning.

Another UFO off the list!

That makes two for this quarter for the 2017 Finish-A-long.
 

Yay! I have already doubled my last quarter finishes.
I'm on a roll. See my ambitious list here.

I did have a little bit of trouble loading the quilt on the frame, but it wasn't due to anything I had done. My kitty Boonky decided he wanted to roll around in it while I was pinning it onto the machine.  I finally had to free him up for other play opportunities in the other parts of the house.

Summer Sunset - Finished!

I finished my summer sunset quilt just in time to link up for the first quarter of the 2017 Finish-A-Long. I had a little extra incentive to finish this one on time as I wanted to give it to my brother-in-law for his birthday on April 1st. 

This was started in January of 2015. I forgot to measure it, but it fits perfect on a king size bed without draping over.

This was the only finish off my Q1 Finish-A-Long list, 

but I definitely did better than the last quarter. :)
