6 and 6 + 6 in 2018

Once again I am joining Anne and Meredithe's challenge for 2018 - 6 and 6 in 2018 but I am adding another category of 6 quilts that 'just' need to be quilted and bound so here is my list:

Did you notice that I have seven on the 'old' list (but who's counting?) and that little smiley face?

I was hoping to finish There's No Place Like Home by New Year but didn't quite make it so it became my first finish for 2018.

I started this quilt over 10+ years ago and the colours and country style now seem dated (which is ironic as I now live in the country) but it's kind of growing on me again and I like my sister's suggestion that it makes a good Christmas quilt.

Wishing you all the best for your sewing projects in 2018!!!

In summary, 6 finishes, 8 progressions and 3 didn't touch - I'm really happy with that! 

Thank you for your encouragement throughout the 2017 challenge and I look forward to participating in this year's. 

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and all the best for '18.
