WIP Wednesday: Just Three Report

I swear I sewed this month! But I feel like I have precious little to show for it. Strange.

Anyhoodle, I did manage to make great progress on this WIP:

I Spy Quilt Top

It's backed, basted, quilted and trimmed! All that's left is to bind it. Here's a sneak peek:


Full reveal is coming soon. Just needs binding and crinkling.

No progress was made on anything else. But that brings me to my Just Three report and list of Just Three Things I wish to accomplish in May. (Go here for Just Three details then do come and join us!)

April's Three:
1. Finish the tutorial for the scrappy potholder - done!
2. Make a backing for the I Spy Quilt - done (photo soon).
3. Baste the I Spy Quilt - goal exceeded - quilt is quilted!

May's Three:
1. Complete the I Spy Quilt. A gimme, I know. What can I say? I'd like to start the month with a win, okay?
2. Complete the Habitat Pillow Covers (last pictured here). I mean, really. This project has been a WIP for too long considering they're a gift. My sister's probably completely forgotten about them by now. To recap, three of four tops are pieced, and the fourth is ready to go (81 bleeping 2½" squares - *sob*).
3. Piece the Memory Quilt. This project is technically not a WIP because I haven't cut any fabric. But I will, gosh darn it. I WILL!!

This week's WIP stats:
Completed Projects - 0 (but we're close, friends!)
New Projects - 0
In Progress - 8

Linking up with Lee and Monika and also Tracey. Lots of linkies this week! Please check them out and join on in.

  7. took me a bit to figure out what crinkling was... hahaha. Love the quilt hanging and love the background, looks like it is a peaceful courtyard? Just three, yep that is a good idea, and much less stress than a list of 40 or so things!!

  13. I so know that feeling - I swear I sewed this month, too! You are making progress though, which is a good thing, and starting May off with a gimme is a good plan in my books! It looks great!
    Good luck with May.

  16. You are SO close! You know, I avoid making lists of all the stuff I know I should finish because I get completely overwhelmed and then lethargy sets in. Pathetic. I admire your tenacity and I know you are going to finish that I Spy quilt any minute now!
