TGIFF!/Finish It Up Friday - UFOs

Here we go with another TGIFF!/Finish It Up Friday.

Between Wednesday night and last night, I managed to finish the "flimsy" for the Dr. Seuss quilt :-)  I'm getting so close to finishing this one, I can taste it!

I tried so hard to get home from work before the lighting turned crummy to get a picture outside, but no such luck. I had to stop at the store on my way home, and by the time dinner was done... The sun was gone.

My seam matching still needs some work, but I know that'll come with more practice.  I'm going to get this basted tonight (hopefully). I managed to stop and get more backing fabric from Joann's tonight, so I've gotta figure out this whole baking piecing thing first.

I've got the batting and thread all ready to go.  Really, REALLY hoping I can get this done this weekend, but I'm not counting on it as there is a TON of housework to get done, mountains of laundry, and grocery shopping to do.  I'm going to squeeze as much sewing time into this weekend as possible so I can finally have another project checked off the "To-Do" list.

I also managed to completely finish this adorable cardigan sweater for my niece, Miss L.  I didn't plan on getting it done this week, only doing some diligent work on it.  But, I guess I was further along in it than I originally thought I was, so I was able to get it all done.  

Here are the project details:

• Ravelry Link: Sunnyside Cardigan
• Pattern:  Sunnyside by Tanis Lavallee
• Started: March 1, 2014 - Finished: June 05, 2014
• Yarn: KnitPicks Stroll Tonal Sock Yarn - Blue Violet Tonal - 1 Skein
• Needles: Size 4 KnitPicks Nickel Plated Options and Size 4 DPNS
• Options: Picot Edging on bottom and around cuffs
• Mods: None!

I actually bought 2 skeins of the yarn per the yardage requirements on the pattern, but ultimately used a little less than 1 skein for the 12-18 month size.  Not quite sure what I'm going to do with the second one yet, but I'm sure I'll think of something :-)

Quite proud of myself this week.  Managed to get one project almost done, and another one completely checked off the "To Do" list. 

Hope you have a fabulous Friday!
