Sarah's Birthday 2020
I just finished this quilt that was made from a panel that I bought many years ago. I surrounded the panel pieces with spool blocks and lots of white borders. The backing is newprint fabric. This is going to the BFF for her birthday this year for a couch quilt. Her other couch quilt is wearing out.
I did this at the same time I was dealing with buying a new house. I wanted to get it finished before I had to pack up my sewing room for the move. Of course, Murphy's Law rules, and I had to rip out half of the quilting because of tension issues. It never pays to let your sewing machine know that you are in a hurry! My brain was so fried that I couldn't think of a name to put on the label so it became Sarah's Birthday 2020. It's in the mail (phew!), and now I can think about packing.

No, I didn't paper piece it... I drew it out on graph paper and sewed it together. (see attached picture) My blocks finished at 5 inches.
