2023 SAHRR, the Finish

My SAHRR flimsy is finished! I incorporated a lot of orphan blocks into the project and most of them were used, at least the ones with blue in them.

Here is more of a close up of the bottom half.

And the top half.

It was a nice day so I took a picture outside on the glider.

This quilt was made with the intention of being donated and knotted. It will be sent somewhere there is a crisis and people have a need for comforters.

As of now, the flimsy measures 63" by 90" which is longer than I had planned but you know how it goes when you're making a quilt without a real pattern.

Your quilt is fabulous !! I find I need to alter patterns because they design them too square. Tho I love the look of square designs, I don't think they are very useful for cuddling.

Gorgeous! The quilt colours are so cohesive. I’d never guess it was UFO blocks, it looks like a making puzzle quilt with so much to discover and explore. It will be truly appreciated by the recipients. ❤️
