February PhD Report

Here I am at the end of February with two finishes.  Having a plan makes a huge difference.   

The Carnival Quilt had not been on the list for long and had a due date, so it got finished quickly.  I make an auction quilt with my class each year, and I think this is one of my favorites.

2025 Auction Quilt

After that I decided to work on my least favorite on the PhD list - the red, green, and fruit squares. Once I started getting the borders on, I began to really like it.  

Red, green, & fruits!

All in all, this turned into a nice quilt.  Definitely no longer my least favorite!  This is as far as I'm going on this one.  I will pass it off to get finished and sent on to someone in need in Helene ravaged North Carolina.

As tired as I was on Friday after school, I made myself finish the backing so that I could call this one done in February.  Having goals really helps move things along!

Now to decide what to work on next.  The bar has been set pretty high to get another finish next month as well!

Another Finish

This week I kept working on on the red, green, and fruit squares.  Once I started getting the borders on, I began to really like it.  

68" x 78"

It turned out that with the extra inner border, I did not have enough backing fabric.  I pieced some of the red dots into the truck fabric and brought it up to large enough.  All in all, this turned into a nice quilt.  Definitely no longer my least favorite!  

Not quite what I envisioned, but it will work.

This is as far as I'm going on this one.  I will pass it off to get finished and sent on to someone in need in Helene-ravaged North Carolina.
