I have just a few minutes ago put the last stitches in my Plus Quilt, which was my 2019 Rainbow Scrap Challenge project.
It's not the best photo, as taken at 10.30 at night, but I just wanted to share that it is done and dusted! I'm so happy to have completed the quilt within the year. Happily, I was able to get the coloured blocks made each month, and then added a few extra blocks at the end to make the quilt larger.
The details of this quilt are:
Inspiration - Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2019 run by Angela at So Scrappy

Thanks so much to Angela for organising this challenge it has been great fun.
Yes, I will participate again next year, but maybe not creating a quilt. I may switch it up a bit. We'll see.
Very nice! I'm impressed you started and finished a quilt in one year.... it seems to take me a few with this challenge.
