This might be the earliest I've ever finished a monthly challenge. Boy, does it feel good!
My goal was to assemble my 25-patch rainbow scrap blocks into a quilt top with black and white squares for sashing. I originally planned to add a few black and white rows to the top and bottom as well, but I didn't like how it looked. So I stuck with simple instead.
And my unofficial goal was to complete the second quilt as well, with a slightly different sashing treatment. I actually finished this one first, since it was on my design wall and had sashing that required a specific order as opposed to the alternating black and white squares.
I'm really happy with them both and it was super fun to show them off at our guild meeting with Bonnie Hunter! Now to quilt them...
Thanks to Heidi at Red Letter Quilts for hosting One Monthly Goal.
These are both wonderful Ellie. Congrats on your OMG finish. Wow to having Bonnie Hunter at your Guild Meeting and to be able to show her your quilts.
ReplyDeleteSimple looks great! Double-finishes are great too ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat to meet Bonnie!
That design is one I think about from time to time, too. Congratulations on making two of them!
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes! I do like the pattern of stars on the second quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love them both! I knew there was a reason that I hadn't put my blocks together!
