A friend asked how many quilts I have made during 2020. I responded that I was not sure but probably a dozen. In the quilting process there are several "finish" spots such as: when a top is pieced, when hand quilting is complete, and when the binding is on. When I started counting I found I have 20 or so such "finishes". Many quilters keep journals of their projects I have never been one to do that. Here is a stack of my completions from this year that I still have on hand, at least 3 have already gone away and one is with my friend who machine quilts for me.
I don't remember the order I finished or worked on projects. I will write about each here to record for myself and any who are interested my accomplishments of the year.
FROLIC 
This quilt design was Bonnie Hunter's 2019/2020 mystery quilt. It was started Thanksgiving weekend of 2019. Quilting was done by Tracey Mertes
FUSED GLASS PILLOW 
I made this small project at a class in February with my quilt guild, taught by Martha Saunders.
ELVIRA
From GE Designs I made this top during an all day quilt-along with Gudrun Elra. It was quilted by Joyce Andrew. Elvira and another Fat Quarter quilt (no photo) I made with our community quilts group have already been donated.
B.O.B. (bias on bottom) 
Made as a graduation gift for my niece. The lower photo was taken at the cabin in McCall, Idaho where I was when I finished the binding. Machine quilting by Tracy Mertes. I started piecing blocks in February after my brother Bob's birthday celebration. The quilt was left at McCall for my niece, Emma, she had asked for a teal colored quilt. Teal is the constant in the quilt but as you can see it also has many other colors. I am not sure if she likes it as I received no acknowledgment. This quilt is my own design, it is the second I have made based on this block. Each full sized block has 52 pieces. 
GYPSY FARMERS WIFE
EASY BREEZY CHECKERS
This is another of my designs based on blocks called Easy Breezy by Bonnie Hunter. The blocks are her 2020 Leaders and Enders challenge. I made half of mine with black background. The top is finished and with Joyce for quilting.
UNITY 
Design by Bonnie Hunter. Bonnie offered weekly clues for this mystery/quilt-along. At this point I have Unity back from my quilter and will soon be adding a blue binding. It dawned on me last week when I got it back from Joyce that I barely remember working on it last spring during quarantine. It was such a stressful time I think I just stitched and stitched and stitched like the old knitting lady in "A Tale of Two Cities"
CHURNING THE STASH
Early in the year I decided to see how many of the little "churn-dash blocks" I could make using triangles I already had cut in my "bits and pieces" box...it turned out quite a few! This is another of my own designs. Quilted by Tracy Mertes.
FOUR PATCH PANDEMIC
Another original design. Quilted by Joyce Andrew.
SUGARLOAF
GRANDMOTHERS GARDEN STAR VARIATION
I finished this top in early March. I have been hand quilting it for the past couple months. The red fabrics are Christmasy so it should be ready to use next holiday season. Cinders (Buns), the kid's cat who is staying with us, seems to think it is her own cozy place to hang out.
Staying with the Christmas theme:
CHRISTMAS IS COMING
I have not made many holiday quilts, but in the uncertain summer of Covid-19 I decided working on this quilt for Finn was good therapy for my mental health. I didn't know what the situation would be by December, but I knew for sure we would have Christmas. This quilt has components from many sources. It was quilted by Kim McCray. Finn had it on his bed at the "Bendgalow" where the kids stayed through December while their new home is being remodeled.
NEARLY LEMOYNE, NEARLY CHRISTMAS
I completed this top in early December. The design is a digital pattern from Bonnie Hunter.
RETURN TO TEMECULA
Holiday decorations in our laundry room with this quilt based on a book published by the Temecula Quilt Company. It was an online quilt along with hints for the blocks from different quilts in their Return to Temecula book. Quilted by Kim McCray
DOUBLE WEDDING RING
I started this traditional quilt several years ago. It has been a "closet dweller" for many long time periods. The colored arcs were hand pieced while we were traveling the country in the RV. I worked on the melon sections while we visited the Griswolds in Mehama during our between houses phase of 2018. It took a worldwide pandemic to get me to complete it to this point. After I am able get out to a quilt shop to select the right color for the backing I plan to hand quilt it.
OCEAN WAVE
This is another traditional block that I spotted on Pintrest and decided I wanted to try. The colored triangles are blue prints although they appear gray in this photo. I have ordered some blue flannel for the backing and I will have it machine quilted. Martha has actually said she wants it, not something that happens too often!
GRANDMOTHERS GARDEN STAR VARIATION
I completed the hand quilting and binding of this quilt in April. This pattern was inspired by a photo of a quilt at the National Quilt Museum in Nebraska. This hexagon quilt is made using English Paper Piecing, all by hand. I started it in 2011 and worked on it a lot while we traveled in the RV. I think I started hand quilting it in about '14 or '15. In early January I realized I really didn't have too far to go...actually it was about 2/3 quilted. I don't know the exact size but it is an oversized King sized quilt. I set the goal for myself to finish it in 2020. Then the pandemic hit and I was done by April!
GYPSY WIFE 2
This is my second Gypsy wife quilt. The design is by Jen Kingwell of Australia. I completed this top in December of 2019 and got it back from Kim McCray who quilted it in January. The first one I made in '19 I made exactly as designed. On this one I switched several blocks and used slightly softer colors than the first.
GYPSY FARMERS WIFE
My third Gypsy Wife quilt I used blocks from Laurie Aaron Hurd's book Farmer's Wife Quilt. Almost all of the fabrics are from one collection called Arcadian Dusk from Connecting Threads. This photo is from before it was quilted in June. It was quilted by Kim McCray. It is complete with binding now.
BRAMBLY PRIMROSE LANE
I made two quilts from this pattern by Marti Michell in about 2001. They were donated to an auction fund raiser in Salem at that time. I came across the pattern in my sewing room in August and decided to give it another go. Joyce Andrew machine quilted it for me and it awaits a binding. I made it from "on hand" fabric except for the blue triangles in the border.
NO NAME COMMUNITY QUILT
This top is complete. It is made from Fat Quarters from the quilt guild community quilts supply. 
HOUSES WITH TREES
This quilt has been waiting several years for a border. My intention was to make a companion quilt called TREES WITH HOUSES. I never seemed to get very inspired to make that second quilt so I decided I wanted one more "finish" in 2020 and today I put the final border on so it is now ready for quilting.
