I have moved to a different workspace and wanted something "quilty" without going over the top. This day project was a fun finale to a year trying to perfect this craft. I didn't have a chance to measure the space prior to the project but it fit perfectly.

I think it is a good practice to reflect on the past and make resolutions for the future. I was kicking around the idea of my Top Five for 2017 when I found this linky party at meadowmistdesigns.
For some odd reason, the interweb picked up on one of my Countdown to Christmas posts from 2013 and it came in as my Number 1 post for the year.
Terrible-tunes-and-horrible-holiday-music
It came as no surprise to me that the next two ranked in the top five:
Surprise-gift-for-supervisor - a quilted kennel cover for a cat rescue volunteer.
Sons-quilt-finished - my first quilt sent to a longarmer. I was in such a rush to get it to her for quilting, I jabberwomped the backing.
The next two were fun, light posts:
Permanent-ban-from-man-cave - actually highlighted a wedding lap quilt given to my niece.
Baby-on-way-with-dollies-sure-to-follow - the completion of a baby lap quilt.
Two creations I have in mind for 2018 are:
Entering the Pantone color of the year quilting challenge.
Also entering at least once the Art with Fabric Blog Hop held twice a year.
Posting a Pattern of the Day from 1965 - just because.
