But a finish IS a finish after all! This diversion began in January while watching YouTube videos. I came across The Quilted Forest channel and fell in love with this block. It has no name that I could find (just a Block-of-the-month block) but it is somewhat of a variation of a disappearing nine patch. Although its construction is not like a disappearing nine patch. The small squares that run diagonally was the appeal for me. It catches the eye as more blocks are made.
This block above was not used on the front because it was too pastel to blend well with the others. Instead I used it along with another like it on the back for an "after quilt".
This quilt project truly is a utilitarian quilt. Nothing special, although I do love many of the fabrics I used. Perhaps with better planning, and more time spent it could have been a bit more spectacular, but it is done and ready for use now. Can you spot the diagonal design now?
Maybe one day, I will try another. I often say that, but rarely do so... Stay tuned. You never know.
This one finished at 72" x 88" and I estimated that I used up 14 yards of stash. This will make finish #2 with a total stash used - 26.81 yards so far in 2024.
I am presently waiting on my New Year's Day Mystery quilt to come back from the long-arm quilter. And I have 2 more quilts ready to take with me when I pick up my Mystery quilt. So there will be more finishes to report.
This is the year I hope to really clean up on the UFOs. I know I will always have some unfinished projects but I hope to get that number down to a number that does not overwhelm me.
Happy Stitching!
