2018 Finished Quilts

Another year bites the dust!  It's one I am oh so ready to say good-bye too and it is reflected in the number of actual finishes for me.  I wish I had more, but at least there are a few here to look back on.

January:  A new grandson is expected in March and this is his quilt.  All handstitched on royal blue tricot.

Nifty Thrifty #2 - Design by Bonnie Hunter -- First cut taken 7/6/14 Last stitch 2/27/18.  Also worked on in the Quilt-A-Long last May.

The two together - Interesting how just a change in sashing changes the whole look.

November:

Friendship Round Robin gifted to Val -- only here because I did the binding and so put the final stitch in.

Custom Quilted by Maria Denise Hall.  It's just so delightful and such fun for our very own Bobbin Fairy.

And that's it for this year.  December just didn't happen at all --- I'm not sure why but onward to 2019 we go.
