Flea Market Fancy Freaks

I'm kind of late to this party, but I have come to really love Denyse Schmidt's Flea Market Fancy line of fabrics.  There's a group at Flea Market Fancy Freaks who are hoping to convince the folks at Free Spirit Fabric to reissue these prints.  I'd love to get my hands on some of the seedlings print and the stripy vine (can't remember the name).  Oh, let's be real, I'd love to get something from the entire line.

Joy in the New Year

I think I'm going to join the Joy in the New Year challenge. 

Here's the list:

  1. Blue Sawtooth Star quilt I started 15 years ago when we moved to Las Vegas.  Just needs quilting in the sashing and then binding.
  2. Pink Aunt Sukey's Choice from 10+ years ago.  Needs hand quilting in sashing and binding. finished 9/20/10
  3. Purple Irish Chain (with Thimbleberries ecru fabric purchased in Jackson Hole in 1996).  Needs hand quilting in border and binding.
  4. Max's I-Spy quilt.  Needs piecing, quilting and binding.
  5. Emma's 100 Days quilt.  Needs basting, quilting and binding. finished 12/7/09
  6. Matthew's baby quilt.  Needs more piecing, etc.
  7. Jacobs ladder from In the Beginning Quilts block-of-the-month kit.  Needs border, basting, quilting and binding.
  8. Kaffe Fassett coin quilt.  Needs assembly, etc.
  9. Mary Englebreit Christmas streak of lightning table runner.  Needs assembly, basting, quilting and binding. finished 12/2/10
  10. Other Christmas quilt.  Needs piecing, etc.
  11. Repro lemoyne stars.  Just blocks at this point. 
  12. Pink H-block from Ursula Reikes design.  Needs basting, quilting and binding.
  13. Scrappy strip-pieced blocks.  Still assembling blocks.
  14. Blue variable star and cross-country blocks from Marsha McCloskey's Block Party book.  Still making blocks.
  15. Pink batik from American Patchwork & Quilts pattern.  Can't decide if it needs borders or not.
  16. Black and neon square in the square block quilt.  Still making blocks.
  17. Me and My Sister charm square quilt.  Needs basting, etc.

I'm itching to start some new things so I'm sure I won't get these all finished, but a start is a start.
