Some weeks I have complete finishes to share, some weeks there are quilt tops to share, and then some weeks there is nothing to share. There is a Quilt of Valor finish and 2 quilt tops to report for this week.
This is a sampler quilt with a mix of scrappy blocks I had made as test blocks for future projects. Some of the blocks were from various sew-alongs when I wasn't planning to make the entire project but wanted to play along a little. I like to do those test blocks in red, white, and blue because then they can be used like this. Simple sashing, cornerstones, and an outer border . . . and Voila . . . a quilt is born.
And there is a QOV top that has finally reached the flimsy stage after sitting in a project box for over a year. Shadow Star is unusual for me as it's not scrappy. It used 3 fabrics only. I really like how this turned out, but am still thinking it needs another outer border, not too wide but not too narrow. I think I have enough of the red to do that, so for now it's hanging in the closet while I think about it.
Another flimsy finish for this week just needed an outer border. This is my 2026 Stay At Home Round Robin project and is 50" square. I usually prefer rectangular quilts, but this one just wanted to remain square. That wide border is the bubble print that I purchased this week while shopping with a friend. The print picks up all of the colors in the quilt. It should make a good couch quilt. For now this one is also hanging in the closet until a backing is found and a quilting plan is made.
