Second Quarter Check In

My 3 quilting resolutions this year were to finish Celtic Solstice, my selvage quilt and a quilt for my sister.  I've made progress on 2 of the 3 goals, but none of them are completely done.

 I've already  blogged about Celtic Solstice a couple of times.  I was originally going to make a king sized Celtic Solstice.  After I got all of the blocks done and started laying them out, I decided I really didn't like it enough to make it for my bed.  Instead I pieced 3 quilt tops from the blocks. Two of them are for the bunk beds in my son's old room.  With the leftover blocks I made a baby sized quilt which I gave to Sarah, who added borders and turned it into a lap sized quilt for charity.  That's the only one of the 3 CSs that is completely done.

I finished the top of my sister's one block wonder quilt, but I didn't draw her name for Christmas, so I haven't gotten it to the longarmer to get it quilted yet. 
 

 
 
 
My selvage quilt is still sitting in the box.  It has been resting for about 3 years now, patiently waiting for me.  Here's what I have done so far:
 
 
I need 2 more star blocks to turn these into a lap sized quilt.  I thought about making a baby quilt out of just the 4 of them, but selvages are kind of rough, not really what you'd want next to a baby.

You have some pretty UFOs to finish. I too have not finished my Celtic Solstice, but not because I don't like it. More because I have too many UFOs that are much older. I love your selvage quilt.
