Whew! I squeezed in one last finish this year. This mystery began March 16 and I posted a little about it here. It's been a weird, busy year and life and other quilts got in the way. Then, when this quilt was finally quilted, I realized that a needle had shredded quilting threads in various spots meaning I needed to do multiple repairs. Last night I finally finished the last problem so now all is well.
The Colour Value Mystery Quilt is now known as Evening Light by Canuck Quilter Designs. I used fabric from my stash for this entire quilt including the dark royal blue batik on the back.
This donation quilt was fun to make and a number of people in the mystery QAL used various layouts for the finished quilt.
Size: 57" by 74"
Thread: Glide 50-wt, top - 30290, Baby Blue
back - 30281, Blueberry
Batting: Dream Cotton
Quilting: Large double and single loop design

There are lots of ideas moving around my brain for quilts to make in 2026. Of course I already have a pile of quilts to bind and a pile of quilts to quilt. I'll make a concerted effort to use some larger stash pieces in some simple 2-fabric donation quilts.
We were at the UW Health American Family Children's Hospital
earlier this month and dropped off a big pile of quilts. I always wish I had more. Maybe in 2026, I'll be able to make more than any other year or at least more than this year - we'll see!

I hope your family enjoyed the holidays. Ray was diagnosed with Covid on the 24th and I got sick on the 25th so our holidays have been all about rest. We are beginning to feel better. Hopefully things will get back to normal around here within the next week or so.
Happy New Year!
