First Quilt for the New Year.

First Quilt for the New Year.
I am working on my first quilt for the new year (yes, I started before the new year but not by much) - I've had Lori Holt's Quilty Fun book for the last year along with some fun fabrics - finally started her sampler quilt shown on the cover - I love it. I am surprised how small the blocks finish - its really challenging getting those small pieces sewn together - but I am really enjoying it. I decided to start the new year with a quilt for myself - I never get to keep my quilts - usually made for someone else or commissioned for someone. I hope this will keep me from getting that Holiday slump that I usually experience this time of year.
So, what is everyone working on for the New Year?

I just got the book a month or so ago. Did you see her quilt-a-long on Instagram? Super cute. This is in my plan for next year.
I am working on a quilt for a friend now. She picked and purchased the fabrics and pattern - it is a gift for her niece. This is the first one I am doing for someone like this - and the last. I don't find it fun to work on something that is not really "me". My hobby should be something I like to do - not something I just want to get done Anyway - I should start a list of all the quilts I want to make in 2015. It will be a long one!!

Your first quilt of the new year sounds great! I'm working on Jenny Doan's Disappearing Hourglass #2. I hope to complete all the blocks tomorrow so I can start sewing everything together. I'm excited about quilting in 2015!

I'm working on placemats for our house that I hope to finish up this weekend. Then my first quilt may be a donation quilt for Project Linus. I found some really fun teen girl fabric at my LQS on year end clearance for $5 a yard and decided it would make a good Linus quilt. After that I have a long list of projects like most everyone else.
