Finish-a-Long: 2016 Q2 List

I finished three quilts for the first quarter of 2016 (Marina's Garden Quilt, Quick Finish Mini Mini, and my Rising Star Quilt).  I also made progress and completed two quilt tops (Paradiso Layers-of-Charm Quilt--it became a lap quilt instead of just a mini, and my Breast Cancer/Pink Hearts Quilt).  I just need to find space big enough to lay them out and baste them so I can get them quilted already.  I'm participating in two quilt-a-longs (Project 48 Quilt, and Modern HST Sampler).  I've been enjoying the weekly/bi-weekly blocks, but since those are long-term projects, they won't be finished until winter.  I still have plenty of other projects to work on.
So here's my UFO list for the Finish-a-Long (ones in bold are my main focus for the second quarter--but since I tend to be circular in how I finish things, meaning I go around and around, I can't say what will come next):

• Paradiso Layers-of-Charm lap quilt (need to piece the back, baste, and quilt)

• do something with my stash that is scrappy (maybe cut them into pre-cuts--not a FAL goal, but I'm leaving it here for me)
•  and do something with all the charm packs/mini charm packs I've acquired the past two years (ones I bought and ones given to me as swap extras; probably a half dozen projects in there)

Quite a list, I know.  And that's only a small part of the projects swirling around in my head or that I have in my UFO pile.

Q1FAL: Quick Finish

This was a quick finish project in March.  It was a spare block from a Block-of-the-Month project from ages ago.  I can't remember why I had an extra one, but I used it to practice some machine quilting.  All it needed was some binding to turn it into a mini mini (about 12" square).  I used a green floral/check from my stash.  Not sure it was the right choice, but it seemed to match the colors in the quilt.  Now I just need to decide whether to hang it up, or use it as a giant mug rug/snack mat/almost placemat.
