My last official quilt in the 'to be quilted closet' is finished. hooray. Country roads is a free pattern that I started as part of the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy. I made the blocks in each month's color. in 2020. The top was made, ready to quilt, in 2021. This year as part of the 5 quilt project goals, I was determined to quilt my closet quilts. Each month I chose 2 specific ready to quilt, quilts to finish before any other ufo goals, and it has made a big difference in emptying the closet. I had no idea I could get so many done in one year. Now, whatsoever will I do with my quilting time 😉 The blocks were made with 1 1/2 inch scraps and the setting squares, and borders, back and binding were all from my stash as well. As a reward, I bought some fabric - you bet

Goal achieved! Congratulations! Is the closet really empty?
ReplyDeleteCountry Roads is beautiful! The blocks looks so nice set in between the blue setting blocks and the yellow outside border is perfect. This quilt is very colorful and will brighten up the dreary gray Indiana winters. You can use your quilting time piecing more quilts now then quilt them immediately instead of hanging them in the closet. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty quilt, Maggie! I love the blue and yellow surrounding all your colorful blocks. Hooray for a finish!
