Lot's of Quilting!

I've been quilting off and on for the last month and I actually have something to show for my time!

First, I have a finish. I found a number of small rectangles in my stash and decided another potato chip quilt was in order. I decided this one would have a ‘border' of light fabrics and I would just make one large block.When I needed to cut more blocks, I decided it was large enough.

The light fabrics include pinks, yellows, tans, and creams.

This donation quilt finished at 50" square. I quilted it with a large meander using Glide Sterling Gray #10877 thread on top and Ruby Red #70187 on the back. 

The back is a red from my stash.

In November, I shared a few finished tops. I really need to start quilting some of those. My longarm was difficult to get to during the holidays so I've been sewing instead. Anyway, I had quite a bit of fabric left from one the tops I finished so I put this top together with some of the leftover cut pieces.

There are still more pieces and tonight I started putting some together only to find that all of the squares aren't the same size. So I've been trimming as I go. It'll be interesting to see this one finished.

I saw a 'woven' quilt and decided it would be fun to make . I decided using 3.5" pieces would also help tame my stash. So a  scrappy weave was started.

I am putting this together with 3.5" squares and 3.5" by 9.5" pieces. I like the way it is looking.

I am finally sewing my Scrappy Triangles into a quilt top. Guess I'll have to find another long term project.

And...one day recently, Ray and I went looking for the snowy owl that's been hanging out about 45 minutes from where we live. It was a very cold, windy day but it was worth the trip. 

I wish you all a Happy 2025. 

We are looking forward to a much better year.
