I have done several of her quilts and have a few more to go. This was originally a mystery quilt from our group in 2019. I accomplished the machine binding and like Janice, finished is better than perfect. I am getting better at the machine binding, but not perfect by any means.
What a wonderful thing to do! It's amazing how simple colors and shapes can make such a beautiful pattern. And it was a mystery quilt, too! I would really have to take my time with the layout. Great job, WMU.

Hi Terri. Glad you're doing better. All those 4 patches will make a wonderful quilt. I hope you can find joy and peace while you sew.

Jeepers, Janice! We have squirrels that raid our birdfeeders and that's enough. I would not want to fuss with bears!
The red quilt looks lovely, by the way. We quilters are our own worst judges sometimes.
I finished a small ufo myself yesterday. The project was about a dozen leftover 6 inch blocks . I turned them into a tabletopper that I quilted on my domestic. Done! And one more UFO off the pile.
Have fun everyone!
