Well, my first of two quilts is finished. I increased the blocks to 18 and used a 3 x 3 grid. On the next one I'm going to see about adding an extra 1/3 block to make it a bit longer. This one came out at 47 x 61" and I prefer charity quilts to be long enough to cover someone. All in all in spite of the busy-ness I'm pleased with it.

Rebaquilts, I like your idea of using a layer cake and I think I will do a lap next time using a layer cake I have had on hand wondering why I bought it. 😜 Your MMM quilt looks great.
Belfrybat, your quilt looks wonderful too and will make a nice charity donation. I only did a crib size and have the inner border on but will try to get the outer border done today and post a picture later. I hadn’t decided on my border until seeing what the top looked like…it will be a gift for a dear friend’s grandchild arriving February.

With borders now
I got the borders on mine! I think it makes a difference.
The winter break is about over for me, so now I’ve got to decide whether to tackle quilting this one, or to keep working on other UFO’s. It really helped to get me back into “quilting mode,” though, so I’m very grateful.
One of said UFO’s is also…err…the Merry Mayhem Mystery from a couple of years ago, though… oops!

Well, I finished the second quilt today. I extended the length on this one. I debated on trying to make more half-blocks to extend it but my brain power wouldn't extend that far! This one measured 47 x 68" -- just perfect size for the charity quilts I make. Now onto the Cuts and Bolts NYE mystery. That one is on-point so I wanted to get these easy ones out first.
