Out with the old, in with the new. Or, in my case, celebrate finishing this OLD quilt top I began designing almost 30 years ago, so OLD but now it feels really NEW:
 |
| Star of Texas, about 72" square |
This has been on my bucket list for all these years. Read more about it here: Star of Texas
Here are my two Game On! quilts, both through month 7, now all I have to do is write the blogs for each month. It is not too late for you to start--this is SO MUCH FUN:
Now that I am pretty far along on Game On! I can concentrate on a few more projects I really want to complete this year.
My Old Italian Block Lifetime Quilt is the next top to make:
 |
| All 290 of the 3" blocks are done--now it's on to the design wall this week |
 |
| panel for Angela Walters class on Arcs and Curves |
 |
| Quilt of Valor to use for Natalia Bonner's class on 99 strip designs |
There is always more to create and I have to come up with my NEXT Lifetime/Leader-Ender quilt project. I have a few ideas. Stay tuned.
Since I am home until mid-March I am determined to get as much done as possible.
My words for 2026 are "RENEW" and "REBUILD". I don't usually pick a word but was challenged to do so by a friend. These seemed to ring true for 2026.
Do you pick a "word of the year"?
What do you plan to achieve in 2026? Just keep going, that's my plan.
Happy New Year to all!
Let's quilt.

Congrats on finishing a 30 year old project. That has got to feel good! It is a striking design.
ReplyDeleteI've only ever made a mini quilt out of the 3" Old Italian blocks. I look forward to seeing what comes of the almost 300 blocks!
I really love your diamond jubilee quilt. It is stunning!
I sometimes choose a word, but I didn't this year. I work on goals every day in multiple areas of my life. I just plan to keep at it.
Happy New Year to you, Barbara!
I plan to keep plugging away at UFOs, and making an occasional new mini quilt to keep things interesting.
Good for you to be signed up for a couple of classes on ruler quilting. I'll bet you pick up on it quickly! The Star of Texas is truly a beauty and just in time for the USA's 250th b'day party! Happy to hear you're planning on more sewing of the tiles quilt. I liked those blocks when you started! Have a productive week!
ReplyDeleteI do lots of ruler work free motion quilting, always looking for more fun and interesting designs to learn. These two classes are coming at the perfect time for me.
