Second and Third Finish of 2025

     My quilting year is off to a great start finishing UFOs. My second finish is a comfort quilt for my church quilt group. We were given several tops pieced by quilters in Cresco, Iowa. I added a border of HSTs to this one and quilted.

I practiced a floral meander with some a few leaves and some simple meandering also. In the HSTs I quilted a continuous motif then swirls in the outer border.

     Then I pulled a quilt top that was already sandwiched so over the weekend I finished quilting this improv red, black and white quilt and machine sewed on the binding. It will wait to be gifted to someone.

     I like patterns that use brick units; however, I had never pieced a potato chip block so I decided to try a few with pink scraps from church. Pink is the color of the month for the 2025 Scrap Challenge. I pieced two blocks and decided to pull more pink scrap strips from my stash.

Maybe I will make enough pink potato chip blocks for a large lap quilt.
