What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I'm squeezing in one more finish before the end of the year and then my next blog post will be my annual wrap up. 

This quilt was designed and made for friend and work colleague. We gave it to her this week and she was thrilled.  

It possibly looks a bit washed out in these photos but it's bright!!

And I have another finish to share with you.  I'm calling this one "Crazy" because it sends your eyes a bit crazy as you try to pick out the pattern.  However, I chose a very clever motif for the long arm quilting and that may help you to see the blocks.  (Garden Trellis 4 by House of Creations)

I only had the Marquee fabric in the lighter shades so mine looked like this:

Hello!!  I'm back and I've got a finished top to show you.  

I'm calling it Stone Flower because the fabric in the centre is the Stone Flower wide back by Kaffe Fassett Collective. Here's how it evolved over a short period of time back in April 2023.
