My latest slow-and-steady project has been Allietare, Bonnie Hunter's 2015 mystery quilt. I am not one of those quilters who had their quilt top finished within a day or a week of Bonnie's reveal on New Year's Eve. I made my blocks over the first 10 or so days of January, and I have been getting them all joined together since then. I have the center of the quilt finished and just need to get a border or two on it next.
I will be sharing with the following linky parties.:

Slow and steady wins the race. Looking good, Girl! Love your bright colors
ReplyDeleteI can understand your feelings. My DD#1 is a Jack Rabbit when it comes to piecing tops. I am a turtle like you. It makes me happy but I do suffer from Quilter's ADD. So I have to keep several on-going projects.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt--I like your colors a lot--when you look up "slow" in the dictionary there's a pix of me lol--I am not a fast quilter either. it just amazes me how quickly some gals can work...and so it goes...the slow way, you get to ENJOY making it for longer....--it is supposed to be FUN, right??hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Your colors are awesome. I agree...don't let those UFOs pile too high...it can be daunting.
ReplyDeletewhat people don't understand is there is no race... who really cares if someone finishes the most quilts? I have finished lots, and have lots to work on when I'm ready... and oh my word, the ideas for more! LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteMe too! We are making great progress! Looks awesome with the blue!
ReplyDeleteYour Allietare turned out great! I didn't follow along with Bonny's mystery this year, but I am enjoying seeing everyone's quilts.
ReplyDeleteWell, you're still ahead of me, Julie! It looks great! I love all the bright colours and crisp shirtings you've used. :D
ReplyDeleteYou've left me in the dust... Though I'm currently using Allietare as a leader/enders project, so it's not going to move very fast.
ReplyDeleteSeeing how pretty yours is might make me piece a little faster, though!
You've been moving right along with Allietare. The colors are beautiful. Good luck getting the borders on.
ReplyDeleteSlow and steady is great. And, finishing it is a worthy goal. Here's to a year of not adding to our UFOs! I'm trying.
