Finish-a-long 2019 - the list for Q2

I wasn’t too unsuccessful with my Q1 Finish-a-Along list, with just one and half items from my list of six not getting finished (see below for the half!). For Q2, I’m carrying on the theme of allowing WIPs to include those projects for which I have bought fabric and/or a pattern specifically for the project as I’m sure shopping should be included in the creative process. (I’m rather good at this part, it is the next stages of cutting and sewing that I struggle with.)
 
Here’s the list for quarter 2:
 

1. BOM quilt No progress at all during Q1 on this quilt, so it reappears for Q2. My target for this year remains the same - to have it as a completed quilt and donated to Project Linus.
2. Siblings Together quilt This is the half project that I am carrying forward to Q2. I pieced the left overs from the Leeds MQG Siblings Together block drive into a quilt top but have now expanded this project to be a finished quilt rather than a quilt top.
3. Project Linus quilt Project Linus have requested quilts in bright (red, yellow and blue) colours to be donated at this year’s Festival of Quilts. I got some fabrics at QuiltFest back in February and started cutting at March’s quilt group meeting. I’ve got one block made, but I need another 15.
4. Upcycled bag I spotted a pure wool jacket on half price sale in a charity shop and have deconstructed it to make into a bag. After seeing PennyDog Patchwork’s Q1 finish of the Carter bags, I decided I’d match that pattern to this fabric.
5. Building bag A well known London department store has brought out a tote bag based on their building’s mock Tudor design. Their bag has the stripes woven into the fabric, but I’m hoping to make mine using a quilt as you go technique. I could only find black and white fabric, so I am planning on dyeing these with tea to get a more toned down effect.
6. Shaker box This might be stretching the rules a bit, but I would love to get this done so I can start using the box. I bought it at last year’s Knitting and Stitching show in Harrogate and it has an insert on the lid so you can personalise it. I have no idea as yet as to what I would like to put on it, but I would quite like it to be padded so I can used it as a pin cushion. It will probably be something EPP, but I need to find an oval pattern.

Well, that's another half dozen projects for Q2 - let’s see if I can improve on last quarter’s completion rate.
