It’s Finally Done

After heaps of delays and loads of frustration, the Three Yard Quilt using the novelty dog fabric is finished.  What a relief.

It is definitely not perfect, but it is a donation quilt and will still keep some kid warm.  I’m just pleased that it wasn’t a special quilt or I would have been really disappointed.  

The quilting has lots of imperfections, but it was the best I could do under the circumstances.  Monique is playing better, but still not quite right. After more googling, we have one more thing to try, but that will wait until after Christmas.

In the meantime, I am just happy to have this one over the line.  I will just be quilting donation quilts for the next little while until everything is running nicely again.

I had started this quilt at Baradine in September and it was my Chookshed Challenge project for that month.  This was the final goal to be met from the ten that I chose for the challenge and I’m stoked to have ticked all the boxes in the calendar year. The only projects that weren’t completed were the Laundry Basket Quilt, but the goal was only to progress the quilt, so that was fine, and to work on any EPP.  I worked on my hexies, so that was fine too.

This was my One Monthly Goal for December as well, so happy to also tick that box.

Now, I can concentrate on Christmas.  There’s two days left.  Plenty of time.

A blind man would be happy to see it and as you say, it will keep someone warm. It looks good I like the quilting design you have used. Merry Christmas.

And when everything is finished, you can't see all the effort anymore... beautiful blanket. I like it.

Lots of greetings from Viola.

I wish you a merry Christmas... and actually I'm already in Christmas fever :-))) the tree is decorated, the Christmas Stollen is ready and the potatoes are cooking so that I can make the salad tomorrow.

Hug to you.

Lovely bright colours in your quilt. Thanks for being a faithful commentor - I don't have many of those any more.
Happy Christmas to you Both.

Great quilt..... I can see in perfections so you are probably being harsh on yourself!

Disappointing to hear Monique is still not perfect, but the quilt looks good.
Deadlines are very motivating.

Good for you meeting all your goals. I am particularly impressed considering your impromptu trip last year and other travels.
I was pretty close. I had 2 incomplete, but I did make tons of progress on one and a little on the other. No worries. They will get done at some point.

The quilt looks great. I'm sorry that Monique is still having issues. That is so frustrating. I'm happy on your behalf for all your finishes this year.
