More January finishes . . .

January has flown by but maybe that's because I've been busy!  I have finished the Crosses Mourning quilt for the Small Quilt Talk group. 

Binding, label and everything! This one is about 17 inches square.  It is machine pieced and hand quilted.

Another little finish for Valentines Day:

This little quilt measures about 13 X 17 inches, machine pieced and hand quilted.  I found the pattern on this blog .  It was a quick, fun little project for Valentines Day.  I added the embroidered hearts to the plain blocks. 
And finally:

The binding is on and this quilt is finished!

I decided to call it Flying Peppermint Pinwheels!  It is about 60 X 70 inches.  I machine pieced and hand quilted it.  For quilting I just stitched in the ditch inside each of the white triangles and around the geese.  The backing is white flannel with red polka dots.  You can see little bits of it in the binding picture above.  I saw a quilt on Nan Slaughter's blog Pots and Pins a while back and I asked if she would mind if I made one for myself.  Sweetheart that she is, she said she wouldn't mind.    I don't remember the exact post where she showed the quilt but her blog is full of wonderful recipes and lots of fun stuff, plus quilts!  

I have pulled out our swap quilt and am in the process of finishing it.  I have two final blocks to make, attach them to the rest of the top, sandwich and start quilting!  It will take a little while to get it finished but I am started on it.  February 1st Kathy Tracy will tell us what the small quilt of the month for February will be so I can have a little project to work on as well.  There are a lot of BOM's out there that look cute, too.  So many ideas and never enough time to sew!
