I have used 42 yards so far this year. I bought a few yards last week, so that is keeping me from being at 50 yards halfway through the year.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to include quilts, like Frolic! when they are completely ready to go to my longarmer. In reality, that is when I am pretty much finished with a quilt. Of the total used, 32% was used for charity projects.<\/p>\n<p>In looking at some of the projects, especially the gifts, it seems like such a long time ago that I made them. I guess this is what people are calling &#8216;pandemic time&#8217; when March had 5,8270 days and April had 8,322.<\/p>\n<p><b>Finished 2020 Quilt Projects<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Despite adding non-quilted projects to my fabric usage tally, I am not adding them to this section. This section will continue to be for completely finished quilts. To date, I have two ready to go to the quilter, but I don&#8217;t know when that will be. I am pretty sure I will have 3 ready pretty soon.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-49539 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2020\/03\/frolic-moves-along\/20200315_221748_wm\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/20200315_221748_wm-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Finished: Warm Windmill\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-48934\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-48934'>\n\t\t\t\tFinished: Warm Windmill\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2020\/01\/cool-windmill-top\/img_20200112_223057_153\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200112_223057_153-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Cool Windmill top\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-48283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200112_223057_153-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200112_223057_153-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200112_223057_153-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200112_223057_153-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200112_223057_153-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200112_223057_153-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_20200112_223057_153-1200x1200.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 85vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-48283'>\n\t\t\t\tCool Windmill top\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2020\/01\/cool-windmill-top\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cool Windmill<\/a> &#8211;

The project originally came about because of two other projects. I made a whole bunch of bias tape as part of my failed attempt at doing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/mighty-lucky-january-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mighty Lucky Club<\/a> a few years ago. Another part of the inspiration came from my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2015\/06\/improv-class\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">class<\/a> with Tina of Little Blue Cottage fame. This was going to be for a nephew, but I think it will be for one of my SILs and BILs. I have rectangles cut and some bias tape ready. My next step is to sew the bias tape to the rectangles like pickup sticks. I don\u2019t have any photos of this, so you\u2019ll have to use your imagination.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2018\/08\/progress-on-rd-piece\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Who Am I<\/a>? \u2013 This piece is off my design.
