    Default First finish for 2013
    My friend wanted a small quilt to keep in the car for when she is chilly or a/c is too cold for her. Started it at least month ago, but just finished it yesterday.

    I love making quilts with two sides... This one wasn't supposed to be that way, but all those blocks just didn't play nice together. So I put the plain black between them, put all the red blocks on one side and the rest of the black/white/gray on the other.

    This is the first time I ever tried to FMQ a pattern. Not great, but not awful for my first time.
