\"Triple<\/a>
Triple Star: PIQF display location<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I was updating some of the Gallery pages over the weekend and noticing that I finish about 5 quilts (including table runners) per year. Of course, there are years where I finish more. 2018<\/a> was a good year. I finished 9 quilts, including the Triple Star, which I really like. It lives with the YM now. 2014<\/a> was another good year. I finished 10 quilts, some of them quite large. In 2013<\/a>, I finished 10 projects. The YM was older, so I had more free time. One of them was the Petrillo<\/a> bag, which was probably one of my first bags. Mostly, I don’t include donation tops in my final finished quilt totals, but in 2012<\/a> I did. I included six donation tops I had made in the total of 18 projects (including 2 books) I finished.<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/a>

It’s also fun to look at that quilts and remember what was going on. There is a chocolate brown quilt in the 2010 list<\/a> that I really like even though I don’t like brown. I remember working on it on a retreat in Half Moon Bay.<\/p>\n

My quiltmaking has changed a lot over the years. I enjoy looking at my quilts and remembering why I made them, the fabric and where I was. Of course, most of them were mostly made at home.<\/p>\n

Between 2005-2009<\/a>, I only finished 10 quilts. I know I was busy with the YM and work, etc, but that still seems like very few. Perhaps those were the years where I was starting a lot of projects.<\/p>\n

Despite have a tiny baby and toddler, I finished 20 quilts and projects, many of them small, during 1996-1999<\/a>. I was kind of amazed at the number. That seems like a lot for those three years.<\/p>\n

So, maybe I don’t finish 5 quilts per year, perhaps it is random.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
