I'm Taking the Challenge!!

I have decided to take the "Finish Five by the End of July" challenge! I started poking around in my sewing room and found plenty of flimsies that need to be quilted. There are more than five here but these are the ones I am choosing from. Does the flimsy below look familiar? It is the Orange Crush top! I am going to quilt it in sections so it is not completely together and doesn't have any borders - I will add those after the center is quilted. I am anxious to try this method.

The Blue and White is already pin-basted, and I had completely forgotten about it!! It is from a $5 quilt top block of the month by Sew Much Fun quilt shop in Columbus, Georgia. It is prettier than I remember and might make a nice Christmas gift for a lucky someone. I can't decide who to give it to - I will have to think about that one.

The blue and brown "Take Five" quilt is one that I made at our guild's retreat in 2007! I meant to quilt it last summer but you know how that goes.

Maybe this year - but it is larger than I remembered!

The other ones are panels that I fell in love with and planned to use as table runners or door hangings.

Hmmm, I think I will make a set of placemats out of this Christmas one. All I need to do is add a border around the individual rectangles and quilt. They will be cute! Can you tell that I am a sucker for a panel? LOL I know they are "cheating" but - hey - they are super fun to machine quilt!

I will try to keep you up to date on my challenge progress. Wish me luck!
