First up is my Black & White 4-patch Stacked Posies quilt. The quilt top was finished in 2008. I even started quilting it after my sister got her long arm. Then I ripped out a bunch of the quilting. I finally pulled it out late last month.
Each block is quilted individually with the same motif, the sashing is quilted with another motif and the borders were quilted separately. Given my thread color – Mercury – the quilting is not very visible, and an edge-2-edge design might have worked just as fine. On the other hand, I learned a lot.

This is quilt is on my 2023 Brandon Quilters UFO Challenge list.
This is Spider Webs. A few years ago at a quit retreat, a quilter made Night & Day, a Quilt in a Day quilt. That particular pattern has odd cuts, which can be used to make SpiderWebs. She didn’t want the extra pieces and gave them to a friend, who in turn passed them to my sister. My sister put the center together. While we were in San Antonio, we picked out the border fabrics and backing. I added the border, quilted and bound the quilt before sending it back to my friend.
