First finish for December 2025....................




The quilting wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be.  The story behind this is that the 4 star blocks were a little too large for the flying geese strips added around them.  That means I did a lot of easing and stretching and the center didn't lay as flat as most of my quilts.  I tamed it pretty well with only one little tuck. I named this one Game Board.


I'm glad I used the fun fish fabric on the back.  The fabrics are Kaffe collective.  It is 39" square and was quilted on my Pfaff 7570.  The batting is Hobbs 80/20.


This is the binding choice.







I pulled some white with black Marcia Derse fabrics as possible additions to the crazy piecing project  The whites in these are softer than the one I showed a couple days ago.


I think I might finally use all of the 2" squares of Christmas fabric that were cut many, many years ago.  I have made several table runners and square table mats from this collection over the years and I always ended up gifting them to someone.  I'm hoping I can keep this last (hopefully) one for myself.
