As I made progress, I would post where I was or cross it off if I finished.  Here are pictures of what I finished:

#1: Lauren't Custom Quilt:

This is a memory quilt that I made for her son, Greg, using clothing she had saved from his childhood.

I used a neutral brown for the backing, I believe it's Fox Trails Stars.

 I chose this red for the binding as I loved how it brought out the red within the quilt.

#2. Custom ordered burp cloths

These were made for a friend I knew growing up who is expecting her third child.  They are awaiting the little one's arrival to find out if it's a boy or a girl-which will be really soon!

These were so much fun to make!  I used cloth diapers and flannel.  I prewashed everything because of their inherent shrinkage nature.  I used a blanket stitch to secure the flannel to the diapers for durability, because they are going to see ALOT of use!  :)

#6.  Not your Granny's Bee blocks

These were late finishes in the bee department.  I was a bad bee-mate.  But, they were finished nonetheless and I love them!

#8. Sean and Stef's Wedding Present

This was so much fun to make.  I used Pure by Sweetwater as that is her living room color scheme and the pattern is from Distant Pickles called Cosmic Burst.

#14. Flaming Cowl

This is currently a listing in my shop and was a ton of fun to make!  The pattern is Husk by Lisa Mutch over on Ravelry.

And these are what I have made progress with:

#13: Baby Blanket for friend:

I have finished the top and just need to sandwich, quilt and bind.  I used the Starburst tutorial from Melissa over a Happy Quilting.

#20: Socks for me.  

I'm close to getting the first of the two finished.  Here is a not-so-great shot of them. I am using the Flutter-by pattern I found on Ravelry.

#26: Custom ordered fingerless gloves

I have finished one and am only about 12 rows away from finishing the second!  This is the one where I forsee finishing by end of day!  This pattern is called Geology Mitts over on Ravelry.

All the others I have either made some progress and forgot to take pictures or I haven't even looked at them!  I hope to have quite a few more crossed off come December 31st; especially since some are to be Christmas gifts!

I am linking up over at Kelsey Sews!

Blogger Quilt Festival

Well, the semi-annual festival is here!  I am so excited about this year as I'm one of it's sponsors!  If you win in 'my' category, you'll receive an Everyday bag (Jeni's design) as well as some FQs.

Onto my submission: It's a throw/lap quilt that I made as a gift for my sister and brother-in-law for their wedding.  I had bought all the materials way back when distant pickles was doing a QAL for their Cosmic Burst pattern, but never got around to it!  Well, with their wedding this past weekend, I needed to get it done!  I used Pure by Sweetwater, a Kona Brown ( I think it's chocolate?), and Kona Bone.  I used a simple diagonal quilting on it so it wasn't too busy.

  And here is a picture of the happy couple.
