I finally finished my March goal in April!
it hasn’t been washed yet. Although some of the squares have gone a bit off-square, I’m actually quite happy with it! It has a variety of fabrics: borders are 100% cotton sheets in a sateen feel, red squares are corduroy, the plaid is some kind of poly/poly-blend, dark grey squares are an unidentified thick fabric (like a home decor thickness) and light grey is linen blend. Not gonna lie, I find the front very fun to pet, lots of textures.

I am just astonished how much I have learned since 2014. Back then, I never measured each block as I finished them. I just sewed them together. When I look at this quilt, I feel blessed that NOW my quilts all go together perfectly! Thank you Bonnie Hunter!
I am real good as completing all quilts I start - however I quilt them all myself on my Brother 1500! I have 14 items that still need quilting! Hopefully I can get some more finished soon!

I started the task of a DEEP dive in my sewing room when I had no power and could not sew this week. Found a basket of UFOs that needed attention. So, I pulled it out so I could access it easily and piled on some WIPs that are on the verge of becoming UFOs and left the basket in plain sight. The basket is a mound, no total count taken, just a pile. Some have backs and batting cut, others are 10+ years in the making.
Now to put other things back in order and make a run to Goodwill with what will no longer "decorate" my sewing room with unwanted decor. ( I know that is another thread but it landed here too.)

Good job 👏
(I went.looking for a particular UFO of mine last week and I can't find it... Maybe I need a similar deep dive?)

Need words
I need words for a quilt to be donated to the local veterans home.
Someone donated a complete quilt top at PL meeting a few months ago. Nothing fancy - big white muslin square with brown and green borders. Don't make that face - it's calico. A little old fashioned - but they match. Size is 72 x 80, 4x5 layout. The only advice I have been given is many of the residents are men.
Current idea is to play in the blocks but reserve 5 for patriotic words like Honor, Duty, Country .... And....need more words.
Any advice appreciate including if you think my "words " wouldn't work for (reason).
Finishing off someone else's UFO....I think it counts for this board
(Ps. I found my missing UFO from 5-13 post. It fell under the sofa)
