UFOs & WIPs? Let's finish them together! #1

[@bethcornelius4156]

oh, oh, oh......I'm a hymn girl too. Love the tea towels!!!!! Thanks for showing us.

[@CorianderQuilts]

You are so welcome!

[@MsChris23456]

I more I watch you the more I like you and your wonderful fabrics and projects. I'm so glad to have met you. I'm definitely a fan

[@CorianderQuilts]

That is so nice of you to say Chris!!--Thank you for such a nice comment to start my day off. =) I'm glad you are watching!

[@lynnpeterson618]

I do 5K every day too! Love it to start my day. I’ve got my little jar full of UFOs. It’s so fun to surprise yourself with a fresh pick from the jar each month. Knowing other quilters are doing this is such an additional motivation. Thank you for sharing your craft 🥰

[@CorianderQuilts]

That is a perfect start to your day!...I feel so much better when I get that run in!

[@lisastreasures]

The baskets are pretty and I love the Hymns panel. 🙏

[@CorianderQuilts]

I always enjoy sharing these WIPs videos!

[@arlenedanie5707]

❤️Your sharing projects in progress and scrappy quilts for inspiration!

[@CorianderQuilts]

It helps me tick some of those items off my list too which is so nice!

[@jeanmclellan1823]

Any finish is an accomplishment!

[@CorianderQuilts]

I agree!

[@homebodypattyinmo4373]

Corey, I am a hymn girl too, and absolutely cannot wait to see your finished hymn quilt!!! I just made new curtains for my living room using the Song Book fabric and panels and love having those wonderful hymns pop into my head at any and all times from the visual! As for WIP's challenge, I need this!! I have some mending that needs to be finished, as well as, nine patch and heart applique blocks that are going to alternate for a quilt top that I started about three years ago and then laid aside. Now seems like a good time to get both of these things caught up and finished, while trying to stay caught up with all the BOM and sewalongs I am doing. Thank you for the challenge and inspiration!

[@CorianderQuilts]

Isn't Stephanie's Song Book fabric wonderful! I am so excited she is now designing for Moda. It will be so wonderful to have her bringing such wonderful designs onto quilting fabric. It sounds like you have some wonderful projects to work on this month!...staying caught up on BOM's and sewalongs is a project in and of itself! LOL =)

[@homebodypattyinmo4373]

@@CorianderQuilts Song Book IS wonderful! Love it all, but it was the hymn panels that drew me to it originally. And, YES, staying caught up on BOM's is probably all the challenge I need. LOL!! If only I could quit joining another.........and then another!!

[@CorianderQuilts]

@@homebodypattyinmo4373 I agree, those panels are so lovely! But those BOM's are so much fun to join!....there are always such new and pretty ones starting all of the time...it's so hard to say No! =)

[@mariawells8026]

Love the basket quilts. One is on my to do list. The tea towels are fabulous and love the verses!! Thank you for sharing them with us.

[@CorianderQuilts]

You are so welcome!...thank you for watching!

[@nbc911]

What a fabulous idea to encourage each other to finish projects. I am going to finish piecing a red and white scrap quilt top.

[@CorianderQuilts]

That will be lovely!--it's so much fun working on checking my to do list off with all of you!

[@shelleythomas1811]

OMG I love the hymn tea towels!! Reminds me of my childhood and going to church with my great grandmother 🥰 who was a fabulous quilter. I’m a beginner so I’m trying to finish my first small quilt by the end of this month. Wish me success.

[@CorianderQuilts]

You and me both!...I just love a good hymn. =) Good luck on your first quilt--I know you can do it!

[@lmorgan1028]

Last year I decided to make all my siblings a quilt; I have ten sisters and one brother. I’ve gotten four made already. It makes me really happy to sew up something that I’ve hand made with love. During the pandemic I went thru all my fabric, sorting and refolding. And while doing that I gathered fabrics together for each quilt put them in project bags with a note as to which pattern I was going to use and who the quilt was for. Making a little dent in my fabric stash. 😂I haven’t set myself a deadline, just having fun.

[@CorianderQuilts]

What a wonderful thing to do for your siblings!...they will love that!

[@helentaylor5775]

I love Tilda

[@CorianderQuilts]

Me too!

[@amandaaskew7606]

The happy scrappy baskets are very happy! Those tea towels and fabrics are gorgeous 😍 I can't wait to see what you do with them! My UFO(s) is actually my first quilt. Probably 14 years ago, I took a block of the month class with my husband's grandmother, through our local county extension office. When we were done, my husband's grandmother gave me all of her blocks too. What I would like to do, is mix our blocks together and make her a throw and me a throw. The blocks just have to be squared up, sashed, etc, lol. She is now 93, so I need to get it done, so she has time to enjoy it!

[@CorianderQuilts]

What a fun UFO to work on!...and what a neat memory that will be to enjoy when the quilts are complete.

[@patriciaedens638]

You are such a bright spirit & inspiration! Love this video on tackling UFOs & WIPs. I have too many, 🙄

[@CorianderQuilts]

Thank you so much!--I am just like you and have too many also! =)

[@abigaildolinger2754]

I am determined to border, quilt, and bind my scrappy Trip Around the Block queen size quilt. Thanks for the encouragement!

[@CorianderQuilts]

You'll be so glad to have that beautiful Trip Around quilt finished!--you can do it!

[@greatexp59]

Oh, dear! I'm ashamed when I consider all I need to do, but how little I get done! I need to stop looking at sites which offer new ideas and just sew up the things I already have materials/patterns for. I started making a new shirt for my husband, but since I'm not fond of sewing men's shirts, I am forcing myself to do it to use up the fabric he picked out for it, thereby reducing my overflowing stash by a few yards. I have other garments to sew, several quilt projects, and reorganizing several spots in the house. Thanks for the encouragement to at least start! And thanks for the link to the hymns tea towels! The are marvelous!

[@CorianderQuilts]

In all fairness, I only shared two WIPs but I could have shared a lot more! =) It's so easy to want to take on new projects when we see so many pretty things all of the time. =)

[@kathleenfangmeyer7574]

Thanks Cori! I needed to hear what you said at the end about not feeling bad, divine timing! ❤ Have a great Christmas 🙏🏻

[@CorianderQuilts]

Sometimes I think we all need that reminder, don't we! =) Merry Christmas to you and your family as well. =)

[@BAMom780]

I'm working on the heartfelt quilt along but I would really love to get a quilt done for my father-in-law who is having surgery next month. New to your channel and I just love how cheerful you are. Will be following along in your progress

[@CorianderQuilts]

I'm so glad you found me Kimberly! I've really been enjoying the Heartfelt quilt along myself. =) That will be so nice for your father-in-law to have a quilt to snuggle with as he recovers!--what a thoughtful gift. =)

[@heidiyazwa6985]

A month isn’t long but you can do it!!!

[@rebeccalowe6820]

I'm making a quilt for my daughter who is just graduating from medical school and moving into a new apartment in a new city for her residency. She picked out the pattern and it's one of yours!--Everlasting. I'm making it queen sized with 25 blocks and she's also asked for two pillow shams. I finished cutting out all the pieces today and completed one block. It's so pretty! I can't wait to get back to work on it tomorrow. Everlasting is my first Coriander Quilts pattern to make and I love how clear and easy it is to follow. The block I finished tonight went together perfectly. Love your sweatshirt too!

[@CorianderQuilts]

How fun!--and big congratulations to her for finishing medical school..what an accomplishment! You must be so proud of her! Have fun working on Everlasting!

[@heidiyazwa6985]

🎶Go Corey go Corey you can do it. You can do it!!! 🎵

[@CorianderQuilts]

Yay!!--I know you are going to be the best encouragement! =)

Your scrappy basket quilts are gorgeous and I can’t wait to see your hymn song quilt. What a wonderful idea!!!!!

[@CorianderQuilts]

Thank you so much!--I'm excited to work on my hymn quilt!

[@joydicksonquilts]

I need to finish putting together a memory quilt we made in memory of a dear craft friend who passed away in August. Everyone sent me the blocks to put into a top for a friend who doesn’t quilt. My top is done ( we each made one for ourselves), but the one for our friend is on the design wall. That’s my finish for April, get that together and into the quilter. Thanks for the inspiration. 💞

[@CorianderQuilts]

What a wonderful quilt that will be when it’s done!

[@kathyclayton4318]

What a great challenge you have given yourself and all of us to watch you complete. I have 2 sets of cards that my daughter gave me printed with the same hymn designs to use in my sewing room to remind me of their special words. I love them too. The cards actually fit in a slit in a darling small white ceramic goat that she gave me as well. Such great inspiration. I change them often to just think of the different tunes as well as the words. It’s always great to hear that others have similar thoughts. Thanks for sharing your challenges. And yes, I need to make a few challenges for myself! And thanks for sharing yourself with us!

[@CorianderQuilts]

Don't you love when the words from a hymn run through your mind at just the right time. =) I am so glad that you love them too. =)

[@susanvoth5831]

I’ve only just discovered this channel because I went looking for a binding tutorial and found yours (very helpful BTW). I can’t even count my WIPs, I have so many. However, right now I have two on my finish quickly list - a quilt for my grandson and a quilt for my daughter. And I am going to attempt quilting them myself… doing the quilting is my least favorite part of the process and usually I quilt-by-check. Thank you for the encouragement.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I’m so glad you found it!…and that the tutorial was helpful! I need to get cracking on my UFO’s before I run out of April to finish the ones I wanted to! 😂

[@denisechristy-everett8606]

Oh how I love the hymns 😇

[@CorianderQuilts]

Me too!

[@sharonmika4786]

Love your baskets quilt! 👍🏻❤️💫

[@CorianderQuilts]

Thank you! 😊

[@andreaahlin6290]

Your optimism is so encouraging! I was just evaluating my UFO's and feeling a little blue about the list and now I feel optimistic! I will be working on finishing a large quilt that is currently in small blocks made with civil war repro fabric. And I also want to finish up a couple of very small projects.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I'm so glad you are feeling more optimistic...sometimes we just need a little encouragement to turn things around. =) It's fun having so many of us working on our "to-do's" at the same time. =)

[@cathyveverka8094]

Love the scrapiness of your basket quilt WIP! Also Love the hymns tea towels!!

[@CorianderQuilts]

I think they are both going to be fun projects to finish up this month!

[@melaniehulm]

I would love to have 2 of my 4 baby quilts that I’m working on completely finished. Love that you are giving us this opportunity to be accountable. Love your videos

Thank you so much!--I see in these videos there are a lot of baby quilts being made...I love that!

[@lisa5335]

I have a quilt that I started for a friend months ago and have to get this done and off my list. I also have a wedding quilt to make for a May wedding and two blankets. I am joining the local ymca this month because it is right beside my workplace. So handy for getting in workouts. I'm excited. Thank you for such uplifting videos!

[@CorianderQuilts]

It sounds like you have so many fun projects to work on!--and way to go joining the Y!...just reading over your list is encouraging me to get going on my day! =)

[@leslieherbert5986]

I LOVE hyms also! I teach Kids 4 truth at our church on Wed nights and I bought each of our teachers one of those hymn tea towels as a thank you! but Now I might need to copy you ;) Need to do that basket quilt! LOVE it! I want to get a pillow done for a friend and get a quilt I just started finished, everything is cut so that helps! also trying to get my craft room finished, need to purge and organize more than I have :) thanks for the push! love that we can all do things together like this! so fun!

Unpicking is sometimes necessary, isn't it! I hope you get it done quickly and can move onto something more fun. =)

[@cherilynbramall8482]

I am in! There are so many unfinished projects but I have been wanting to make your happy scrappy basket quilt so I will be focusing on that for April. I have been setting squares aside for a while now so I just need to dive in and start. Thank you for a fun challenge. ❤️

[@CorianderQuilts]

You're off to a great start since you've been setting aside those squares!

[@CorianderQuilts]

[@redknitter]

I have decided to get some quilts done on my bucket list. First up is my Log Cabin quilt for my bed. My blocks are all made and I started assembling it yesterday. I'm having surgery at the end of the month and I'll be down for a bit so I would like to get this one done and on my bed before then. Thanks for the encouragement. I really look forward to your videos and all your beautiful fabrics.

[@annatooke6220]

Thank you for helping me to hold myself accountable. A dear friend's daughter was married last weekend. It was an indian wedding so no boxed gifts were allowed but no newlywed couple should be without a quilt made with love so I have been working on a chandelier quilt and have all my blocks completed but I really want to have the quilt completely finished by end of this month. So I appreciate you helping me to hold myself accountable to get the top finished, sew the borders on, sandwich the quilt and get it quilted by month's end so I can mail it out.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I wouldn't have known that was customary for an Indian wedding. What a thoughtful gift a quilt will be for the newly married couple! It's more fun to check things off our lists with friends, isn't it! =)

[@angelastoutenger7944]

Have really been enjoying your videos Corey. Your Hymn tea towel quilt is going to be amazing! Hopefully this month I can finish cutting and adding interfacing to t-shirt blocks for one of my granddaughters. She asked me to make her a t-shirt quilt and provided me with 20 shirts of which she wants fronts and backs of all of them. This is my first t-shirt quilt so have been doing lots of research for tips. I have a good start but the process will be interrupted to make two big batches of Easter bread. That definitely needs to get done before Easter. See you tomorrow for your Book Series video.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I haven't ever made a T-shirt quilt but they always look so pretty and fun...and I am sure they are extra snuggly with all of that soft t-shirt fabric. She will love having a quilt made for her by grandma...I love the ones my grandma made for me. =)

[@gwynwellliver4489]

Those quilt alongs can get away from us, can't they! I'm hoping with all of us working on these projects this month we will all be able to make some progress. =)

[@marycomeau9364]

I did the post project maintenance on my sewing machine, changed the needle, changed the blade in my rotary cutter, and putting away remnants and scraps from the curtains I made for my sister's camper. Now I am ready to finish designing the quilt for Mom. So far I have the pattern figured out for the center medallion (Eye of God quilt block) I don't know if I want to make traditional medallion quilt or make more star blocks. I am trying to avoid the blank canvas block most artists struggle with.

[@CorianderQuilts]

Having a clean space to begin a new project in is so nice. Sometimes that is all we need to get those creative thoughts going again!

[@lowentx]

I have several quilt kits purchased from last year and waiting in project boxes. Unfortunately, I won't allow myself to start them until I clear the back fence line. Im praying for strength and self discipline to finish😅, hopefully within the next two weeks. I can't wait to start quilting again🎉 . I now have to add the hymns for a pretty quilt top! 🥰

[@paulaweston5242]

I have at least 5 finished tops that need to be quilted. That is always a bottle neck for me. Quilting is my least favorite of all quilting tasks. And I just don’t like the idea of having someone else do the quilting. I LOVE the hymn tea towels. What a great idea. Looks like I will have yet another piece to quilt :)

[@CorianderQuilts]

I think we all have a spot that tends to bottle neck in our quilt making. I agree that many of my quilts get stuck in the quilt top phase (or the binding phase). =) It feels so good to get them finished!

[@Michelle_Myers]

I’m working on redoing my quilting room. My hubby revamped a closet with a bunch of shelves for my fabrics. Once that one is filled he will convert the other one too. I have a lot of fabrics to organize on those shelves.

I have been working on a quilt for my son that I would love to get finished this month. I don't have a big enough space to lay out quilts for basting so that slows me down some. I also need to quilt a quilt for my nephew. The lady that used to do quilting for me passed away., so I thought I would try this one myself. We'll see... Thanks for sharing your encouragement!

Love your energy and smiles, making watching your videos a pleasant experience. I presently walk daily and workout three times a week so I’m good there. My challenge is to finish my Moda 2020 Breast Cancer Sampler quilt. I’m fairly new to quilting and the free motion is challenging. I have two blocks done with 28 left to go. Then binding. Thanks for sharing your time, thoughts and quilt. 👍❤️😊

[@CorianderQuilts]

Thank you so much for your kind comments!...If you did one block a day through the rest of this month you'd almost have it. =) And progress is progress even if you don't get all of them done!

[@maryellendillon4469]

Just seeing this now, so I want to target to finish my first 7 quilt tops by the end of May. Once they are sent to the longarm quilter, I can actually start a project for myself….

[@CorianderQuilts]

You will feel so good checking them off your list! The quilt top that I wanted to finish this month is at my quilters...now I just need to find time to finish piecing the other quilt top I mentioned!

[@kathycronin8547]

I'm determined to finish my Spring Brook Blossoms quilt. I kept up until block 6 was released and somehow I got distracted with several other projects. I'm going to get it off to my quilter by the end of April! Love the recent videos and the Making of a Book video journal. Keep it going!

[@CorianderQuilts]

We'll both get these quilts off to our quilters! =) I'm excited to check it off my list. =)

I need to press on organize my sewing spaces: current sewing bedroom and garage storage. The garage will eventually become my sewing studio after the remodeling is completed.

[@CorianderQuilts]

That sounds so nice!

[@helenpeddycord2241]

LOL! Shut up and take my money♥️😂😂😂😂 Just placed order for the tea towels! Just GORGEOUS🙏🏻

[@CorianderQuilts]

Ha!...I wanted to do a little bit of shopping for myself when I linked to the shop. LOL All of her tea towels are just beautiful!

[@baseballquilter8984]

Ok Corey- you mentioned a 5K so mine is a little goofy but, I will share with you all. I told my husband I wanted a new sewing machine ;0) His reply was ok...then stop going to Starbucks! What! You have to understand that is my vice. But I figured if I can go with out it for a week when we are on vacation then I can do this for 1 month. Well, I did it.! I got my new machine and no mocha's for 1 month. I couldn't believe it I lost 10 lbs. Mind you my goal was to get my machine and in the process I lost weight. Pretty cool! I am going for month 2 and hoping to see if I can lose another 10lbs. No visits to my barista for all of April. That is my goal! ;-) Happy Quilting everyone!

[@CorianderQuilts]

I'm so glad you shared!...it is always so much fun to hear other people's goals and can inspire us to set some new ones of our own! And way to go on less Starbucks trips!...I have a coffee shop that is far to convenient for me to stop at. =) And yay for a new machine...that is so fun! Good luck in April--You've already got one month under your belt you can do it again!

[@kimberleyrose7283]

I just love your videos, Corey! That are so encouraging and uplifting to me. I made a New Year's Resolution to only buy fabric for background, backings or bindings, with the hope that I would then be motivated to work on my UFO's or WIP's. It has definitely made me more creative to go to my stash vs. the fabric store so far this year...

[@CorianderQuilts]

What a great resolution!...it is so nice to have that stash fabric to work from and congratulations for sticking with it! It's also a great skill builder to choose from what you have because you'll look at fabrics a little bit differently and make decisions you might not make if you had a whole fabric store to decide from.

[@debbiehays9794]

I have a finished King Size Quilt top I have had done for over 6 months. All I need before I take it to my long armer is a back! But the back will have to pieced and it’s so large that I have just been putting it off along with the pillow shams and figuring out the binding. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️. That needs to be done and off my mind and finished so I can enjoy it. Lol.

[@CorianderQuilts]

Piecing backings is one of my least favorite things to do so it always gets pushed to the bottom of my to do list!

[@shirleyhagan9002]

OHHH Corey, I am such a Hymn girl myself! I would love to do that quilt with you as well. I have 15 quilts going at the same time. A few of them are your quilts and quilts with your fabric. I would like to finish 12 quilts this year. or at least get them quilted. I have 5 quilts that need binding and try to keep up with Beautiful Day Mystery quilt. Plus I only need two blocks to finish Spring Brook Blossoms. They are cut out just need to sew them! But for this month I will say finish the top to Spring Brook Blossoms and get binding on 2 of them for next month. Thanks for the challenge..I am super excited to watch your book come alive! You are adorable!!!

[@CorianderQuilts]

Yay a fellow hymn girl!...love it. =) I'm so happy to have you joining in!...I think this will be a great way for us to get some of these projects checked off our list!

[@stephiepeterson]

Now I just want to start a bunch of new quilts. 😂

[@CorianderQuilts]

That is an ongoing problem for me! =)

[@stephiepeterson]

@@CorianderQuilts me too!

[@caroline-brisbane8577]

Great video

[@CorianderQuilts]

Thanks!

[@sewquilty]

LOVE your Hoodie! The Hymn Quilt is just going to be lovely. I will join you in the WIP Challenge BUT choosing only one or two....

[@CorianderQuilts]

Thank you so much!--it's so comfy too. =) I'm excited about getting the chance to work on the hymn quilt....I need to check off a few work things (I've given myself a hefty work to-do list this week) but hopefully by this weekend I can spend a little bit of time on it!

[@Happybidr]

I’d like to get our taxes done so I can spend all that time quilting. Lol. I’ve got loads of blocks done and ready to be pieced. I would love to assemble some of them and send them to be quilted. My biggest and favorite one uses Corey’s fabric! So pretty!

[@CorianderQuilts]

Oh, those taxes!...yes, get that checked off so you can spend some sewing time as a reward! =)

[@mariannecamous3472]

I want to add the borders to my queen sized jelly roll race and get it to the longarmer! And keep on track with Body Pump class 4 days a week, walk 3.

[@CorianderQuilts]

You can do it!

[@kathipolz4532]

I haven't started Heartfelt yet but the kit is staring at me. I haven't started yet - I think because of the cutting. So... that will be my April project- get that cut and started. I also have a couple of 5K's scheduled (I'm a walker not a runner) this month but not bad for a 68 year old 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ but wow- 5k a day is amazing. So my walking goal will be 3 5k walks a week for April.

[@CorianderQuilts]

Cutting out a whole quilt can be so daunting!...but once it's done, let the fun begin!

[@vedatobias1702]

The tee towels are beautiful but kinda pricey. Your quilt will be beautiful.

[@CorianderQuilts]

They are...that was part of the reason I collected them one by one over several years...but they are so pretty!

[@AnitaSouthall]

I did binding on Saturday and it sold at market on Sunday so it's worth getting it done. yes it was 8 inch square placemat but 👋 hey

[@CorianderQuilts]

It's nice to get them checked off!

[@beckymccarty424]

Just found your channel today I love the warm welcoming atmosphere. The tea towels are great we still sing alot of those at church. I have 4 quilts I need to get finished this month 3 quilted 1 I have one more row to attach & the top is finished but I would like to get them all done with binding on

[@CorianderQuilts]

I'm so glad you found me Becky! I always hope that it feels warm and welcoming here. =) And I'm so glad to have you joining in on the WIP challenge...it's always fun to sew with friends and check these things off of our lists.

[@kathyaschenbach8081]

Tablerunners 2completed and I top done. Plus a quilt to send to Urkraine. Hope to get that done this month. Also a block for Melanie Hams memory quilt. Also 1Sweet Heart Valentine block machine applique and embroidery!

[@CorianderQuilts]

What a fun list of projects to work on this month! =)

[@laurenrogers4540]

I have three baby quilts that I am making , all the same pattern woodland critters do I am cutting all the fabric. I sm Also going to try my hand at hooded towels and a diaper bag. I think that's enough for this month 🤔 lol 😆

[@CorianderQuilts]

Wouldn't it feel great to get all of those done!--a friend of mine gave me a little cross stitch hooded towel for my oldest daughter when she was a baby and it was such a nice gift!

[@rhondadiercks]

I'm working on one of your quilt patterns "Rainwashed" using Strawberry Jam, I'm halfway done and love how it looks, but get so easily distracted...would love to complete the quilt top in next month. Thanks for the challenge and encouragement!

[@CorianderQuilts]

That is such a fun quilt!..good luck!

[@theresawest5647]

I've already started my unfinished project. I'm working on the BH2 that I started when it first came out. Not sure I have enough fabric but I will do what I can to finish it. I also need to finish putting my double wedding ring together. All the blocks are done and I have a couple of rows sewn together just need to finish it. Thank you for the encouragement to get these done. I love your videos and all your fabrics!

[@CorianderQuilts]

Those sound like awesome projects to work on!...good luck!--we will get these projects done! =)

[@barbaram6303]

I have Patchy Stars to finish! Using left over Spring Brook fabric.

[@CorianderQuilts]

That's such a fun one!--you can do it!

[@Cherylpuckey]

Corey your so inspiring, i would like to learn to make a project envelope style bag and a few other bags for storage….so i will challenge myself with these projects…thanks for another great video.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I love making project bags...they are such fun projects and then so much fun to use after they are completed!

[@jeanettewithrow9641]

I have a list of things to finish this year. Ending up doing a tea shirt quilt for someone so now I'm behind on my list. I'm trying. Thanks for keeping us busy

[@CorianderQuilts]

Fitting in an extra project for someone else is wonderful!...well done!

[@victoriahawkins1991]

I’m trying to fall in love with my long arm. I enjoy had one quilt on it for 6 weeks, but I find myself piecing rather than completing it. My goal for the month will be to complete that one and also a second one! Excited to see your hymn quilt. Thanks for the challenge. And 5k a day in May is crazy 😜.

[@CorianderQuilts]

It's hard learning something new isn't it!...I think I'd be hopping back to my comfortable space of piecing as well. =) You might just really start to enjoy it though! And I agree with you, 5K May is a little bit crazy but it's a fun challenge.

[@cynthiatriller5879]

I also have a quilt on my long arm waiting for me to get up the courage to do it. I'm new to longarming and still a little intimidated by it and deciding what to quilt. That will be my challenge. Lets see if we can get it done.
