Finish it Up Friday: An Epic Finish!

I have a very BIG finish to share today!

19 days ago, I issued myself a challenge -- finish quilting the stack of flimsies (unquilted tops) before school gets out on June 21st. Considering that I had 20 unquilted tops, that was quite a tall order! (If you're counting the stack in the photo, you'll only find 19 as the 20th one has already been delivered to its new home). You can see pictures of the individual tops by reading through this month's posts. Here are the final two finishes:

Quilt #19 in Amy Butler's Midwest Modern fabric collection, using my Bricklayer pattern:

And quilt # 20, using one of the ombre fabrics in Vanessa Christensen's Simply Color collection and this tutorial.
I'm so glad I saved a small one for last -- I was counting down the stitching rows by that time!

So, what's on the agenda now? Lots of bindings, several custom orders, and a little sewing room organizing/cleaning. I'll have lots more to share on these projects in the coming days!

    That is amazing!! I do lots of quilting, but I don't know that I've ever done 20 in 19 days! I've got some of the ombre fabric to make a quilt like yours, too! Whoop whoop for an epic finish!!!

    What a huge accomplishment!! I can't imagine so many quilts quilted in such a short time. It usually takes me 20 days to baste a quilt :-). Congratulations on all those awesome finishes!

    Very impressive! I fear having such a stack of flimsies as I might not have the courage or stamina you had to finish them all. #20 is very striking, btw. Love it.

    OMG you are amazing! I have a month left of my summer break and i will be lucky to get one or two of my 5 ongoing projects done, because I keep starting new ones!! Perhaps setting a specific goal is the idea I can take from this :)
