I did some online shopping on Friday and then designated the rest of the day “UFO Day”. I had found the quilt top I pieced on my last quilting cruise, and it was almost finished except for one of the pieced borders. 
When I went on the cruise, I hadn’t cut quite enough of the dry brush blue, but I had more in my stash, so I went ahead and got the top finished. It took a few hours to get it done, but here it is:
Now it’s in the “to be quilted” stack. It’s big enough to be a Day One Graduation Project quilt, so that’s probably where it will go.
I also had a few more borders to finish on our 2026 church raffle quilt.

I had debated about adding another pieced border, but I decided it didn’t really need it. It’s 96” x 96”, so plenty big enough. This one is also in the “to be quilted” stack. I already have the backing cut, so it will be ready to be quilted soon.
Today is our fifth Sunday potluck at church. I got a spiral ham on sale at the store, and I also fixed a hashbrown casserole last night, so I’m all set.
I love the border on the first quilt shown here. It makes the quilt so much bigger without having to add more blocks. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I can’t remember the finished size; somewhere around 65” x 75”, so a fairly large size.
DeleteThe ham and casserole sound pretty good after all the leftovers we've been eating! We are actually having steak and baked taters today to have something different. :D The church raffle quilt looks beautiful, nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThe hashbrown casserole was all eaten, but I have enough ham left to fix a ham sandwich tonight. Steak and baked potatoes sounds good! Anything besides turkey and dressing!
Deletewe are done with left overs and carcass is in the crockpot for broth I will let it go all day. nice border on the first quilt
ReplyDeleteThank you! It’s a fun quilt; it takes four charm packs or a layer cake, and I will definitely make more from that pattern.
