Hello and welcome to my annual End of the Year Recap. This year, I did not have any rules - I could start and finish as many quilts as I wanted without any guilt. The key was just to enjoy the journey. This lead to lots of fun finishes in 2021, so let's dive right in.
January
In January, I participated in some of the Project Quilting challenge, making a quilt in a week using the challenge guidelines. Lightbulb is one of them.
Kamaria is another Project Quilting Challenge.
February
In February, I continued the Project Quilting challenges with Visit India.
March
In March, I showed the Oak Leaf and Reel quilt I made for the Dust Off An Old Quilt Book blog hop
I made this crazy quilt for a Project Quilting challenge.
Wild and Free is another Project Quilting Challenge.
April
In April, I put the last stitches on the shirts quilt. This is an 80" x 80" quilt. I started cutting the shirts in October of 2019, after they had lived their usefulness as wearable shirts. We plan to have an official photo shoot so you can see the entire quilt.
May
There were no quilt finishes in May. I spent time working on the Amalfi quilt. I made it into a top and have the borders ready to attach. I haven't taken a more recent photo of it.
June
There were no quilt finishes in May. I spent time working on the Inspirational Quote Crazy quilt. If you are a regular reader of my blog, you will know that I have posted many times about this quilt.
July
In July, I introduced the Pop-Art quilt. I spent most of my time working on the Quote quilt.
I also started the Alphabet quilt. This photo shows how far I have gotten on this quilt.
August
In August, I made the Fish and Bubbles Quilt.
I started the Postage Stamp quilt.
September
I started the Tuxedo Vest quilt and the Dots and Dashes quilts.
I officially finished the Blue Inspirational Quote Quilt on September 11, 2021. I realize I haven't blogged about this finish, because I am still waiting to take better photos and a video of this quilt.
October
November
In November, I worked on the October Halloween house. I made more postage stamp blocks. I also started a mini quilt using reject postage stamp block.
December
I had two finishes in a row at the end of December. I finished the October Holiday House quilt.
I also finished the Postage Stamp mini quilt which I named Get Well Wishes for the World.
This means I had twelve finishes this year. I am very pleased with that number.
On New Year's Eve, Mary Fons showed my Inspirational Quote Crazy Quilt in this video. She starts talking about my quilt at 2:15. The video will start at the end of the last quilt she talked about so you can see where she talks about my quilt from the beginning.

Congratulations on all your finishes! I love the way the Amalfi quilt is looking, the sashing really makes it so interesting. And your "get Well Wishes to the World" os so sweet! Happy New Year!
You had a great productive year! Mary gave a lot of time to your quilt in the video. Thanks for the link. I'm looking forward to seeing the whole quilt when the weather gets nice enough to photograph it. Of course close up is the real bonus time with that quilt.
I hope you find time to fit in quilting around your job and other life happenings in 2022.
Those minis are all fun. It's interesting to see all the various techniques and finishes you used. Hopefully 2022 is as good to you.
That Amalfi quilt is going to be such a show stopper! I really like your light bulb quilt too! I should focus more on quilt challenges. They seem like such fun!
