Completed Swallows Quilt

 This is a quilt that I started a little while back. I put it on my 2026 Challenge and I decided to try to finish it in January. This was my original post where I just had it basted. Surprisingly, I did finish it! 

The back is just plain orange and so is the binding. I had a little extra orange fabric so I figured that I might as well just use it for the binding, too.

I really like my new Swallows quilt. I kind of like the size of this one, too. It will be good to throw on my legs or just lay on the back of the couch. This pattern is by Elizabeth Hartman and it came in a Sew Sampler box.

I am definitely not the best at posting blogs (or Instagram, or Facebook, or anything else). So this challenge might help me to make a few blog posts, too.

I am linking up my finish to Connie's Completed January quilt project

Thank you, Connie, for helping me along with my unfinished quilt projects.

A Red Heart for February

 

The Color of the Month for February is RED. Seems logical. I sewed this heart block. It has yet to be attached to anything yet - possibly a small basket down the road. 

I am linking my Red Heart to Connie at Freemotion by the River.  Thanks, as always, to Connie for these small challenges throughout the month. Sometimes I need a push to get started and keep me going.
