First Finishes for 2025

I actually had this quilt together on last Sunday, but it took me 4 days to "rag" it.  I never would have dreamed it would take that long.

                Front                                   Back

The completion of this one emptied tub #2.  After drawing from the Alabama box (more about that here), Scrappy Moon (Summer Moon made with scraps) will replace it in the tub.

Then I rolled the dice, #3.  That one is the Storm at Sea made with Shot Cottons.  I'm not sure how big this one is going to be, but I know it's NOT going to as big as the picture that I found on The Secret Live of Mrs Meatloaf.  I don't know the size of her blocks, but the size of mine would be bigger than will fit on the quilt frame if I used as many as she did.

I finished a customer quilt.

Stitch in the ditch was done by our friend Sylvia and then she moved so I finished it with custom quilting.

Wishing you more stitchin time than I will have.

Nice going on the snowman. You are right, ragging takes forever! I really like how organized you are with your quilting. I need to tweak my system a little to get more UFOs done. Have a great week!

What a darling snowman quilt! I love that the back of the snowman is on the back of the quilt - nicely done! Your ragging looks quite nice. I did that on some Christmas stockings a couple years ago, and yes it was time-consuming.

Fun snowman rag quilt!!! I hope your hand wasn't hurting by the end of the cutting. And the custom quilting on the Sweet Tea quilt is stunning!!! (Thanks for commenting on my blog, too. I don't have your email so I can't reply directly.)

The snow man quilt is a cutey. I've never done the rag thing but it looks great on this one. Didn't realize it takes so long!
