Often I am not sure about how I find some of the crafty quilty motivational blogs that help me get things done or inspire me to start something new. Sometimes it can be a blog I follow, that leads to another blog that leads to a challenge. This year I found the Trinkets Sew-A-Long sponsored by Alison Glass, and now 100Blocks100Days organized by Gnome Angel. These are fabulous for new projects but what about those that have been languishing incomplete in my sewing room for years (some for decades)?
Locally, Quilters Corner is sponsoring “Ready, Set, Goal 2019”. In July I listed 6 projects that I would like to complete. Each project should have less than a months worth of work to make it finished. This was easy – or at least I think it will be. We shall see and I will share my progress as the months pass. This months project is something I started with Project Quilting organized by Kim Lapacek of PersimonDreams it was the Mellow Yellow challenge and I bit off more than I could finish in the time allotted.
So about those projects that have more than a months worth of work that are crying out for attention welcome 2019 Finish-A-Long! Each quarter you list the projects you want to complete, link up, and work it off. No bad vibes if a project doesn’t get finished, carry it over to the next quarter. For more information about this visit https://sewofcourse.blogspot.com/ or put 2019 Finish-A-Long in your browser and move those projects forward! And do it quickly as Quarter 3 linkup is going on through July 18!
Sew, what’s on my Finish-A-Long list for Quarter 3?
I have had this beautiful pattern and quilt started since around 1998, it’s called Prickle Fish by Karen Stone.
Half of the blocks are done. Leaving 72 more foundations to construct and sew together. There is enough dark and medium fabrics that had been previously pulled and stored with the project, but the lights are a little thin and I may have to scrounge around for more. I’m not certain that I am going to set the blocks like the original pattern. I love the center but not so much the outer corners. I’ll play with it and decide after all of the foundations are done.
I’m kind of excited about this. I really like the palette I chose for this project! I’ll report back on my progress.

Hello! I was intrigued by your first sentence and the path that leads us to another person at any time. Beyond the crafting arena as well . . . but that’s a bit deep. I have been doing the Finish-A-Long this year and find it quite helpful. You may as well, and as you mentioned, there’s no pressure either way. ~smile~ Roseanne
Roseanne, that is a deep! And true. I believe that people are brought together (whether for a reason, season or lifetime) due to some form of divine intervention, karma or power higher than us. This will be my first season with the Finish-A-Long and whatever progress I make is going to be further than I was when I found it. Can’t wait to see your finish. – tata for now. d
I thought I would stop by and meet you! I agree with the pretty lights in your pineapple quilt. Ah — to have a finish! I’m sure it is going to be spectacular!!
