182 Day Solstice Challenge - UFO#15 FINISHED! from Grandma's Red Needle

Pat Sloan's '182 Day Solstice Challenge' is FINISHED!

This is UFO #15 on my UFO list 2026

I'm so glad I did this quilt in RSC colors.

I really love how it turned out.

Layout direction

https://patsloanquilts.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/pat-sloan-asymmetrical-layout-directions-solstice-challenge-1.pdf

I changed the layout a little bit, for not to get blocks with the same colors next to each other. Two (the turquoise blocks at the top) are a bit close, but that's OK.

Here are some of the blocks

Block #9 - Among the Stars

Block #8 - Never ending love

Block #5 ...

Coffee with Dad - RSC Finish from Grandma's Red Needle

...as the title says; Coffee with Dad is finished!

UFO #26 on my UFO/WIP list 2026

Actually I finished it in May, but didn't take photos at that time.

An easy and fun quilt to make!

Drums, daffodils, black cat and colorful gecko

Yellow cat

Geckoes and sunflowers

The pink cat, and favorite coffee batik

Yes, I love cats! It was fun to rediscover some of the fussy cut fabrics for the cups.

Pieced backing

It was difficult to get the colors right. I took the photos in the shade on the porch. The bottom looks a bit ...

Swirling Stars - An RSC Finish from Grandma's Red Needle

Swirling Stars (UFO #11) has moved from my UFOs/WIPs list to Finished UFOs.

My goal was to finish it by end of February. That didn't happen due to delayed thread order.

The thread was finally delivered on March 25!

It took me some time to decide how to quilt this one. Simple FMQ (Free-Motion-Quilting) is the easiest and fastest, but it doesn't always 'fit' a quilt.

For this one, I went for custom quilting each block. I didn't have a plan fully in my head when I started, it was like 'quilt it as you go ...

RSC Week 20 - Orange / Small UFO Finish from Grandma's Red Needle

Another week has passed and it's time to show what I've been up to with orange.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I don't have any orange yardage left. There are squares in different sizes. I have a few orange 5" squares left and I just couldn't leave these cute cats in the box!

Two squares + leftover black = two mug rugs!

The quilting will happen another day.

After finishing four big UFOs (I need to take photos!), it felt good working on something small.

UFO #22 is FINISHED!

This is the table topper or candle ...

RSC January 2026 - Week 5 - Blue from Grandma's Red Needle

January Blues continue into February.

This post was meant for previous Saturday, but that didn't happen.

UFO #12 - Star Streams is finished!

It was supposed to be a RSC (Rainbow Scrap Challenge), but I changed my mind and made it in blue and white instead.

Quilted in crosshatch design with 1.5" between each seam

Pieced backing.

The photo didn't turn out the best. Here's another photo, after the backing was done.

RSC 2026 Week 4 - January is BLUE from Grandma's Red Needle

A new year is here, and so is RSC - Rainbow Scrap Challenge - hosted by Angela at SuperScrappy

I have yet to decide how much I'll participate in the RSC this year. Definitely not as much as the previous years.

I'm drowning in RSC blocks from the last 3 years and my goal is to make those into flimsies (some are done already, it has been some busy weeks sewing). It's even better if they can be finished, at least some of them!

Last year, I did part of Sherri McConnell's BOM 2025 in RSC colors. I ...
