Best of 2018 :: Recap

Here we are at the end of another year!  It's a great way to look back and relive, revive and rehash our Best of 2018!  

Cheryl at Meadow Mist Designs has a linky party every year as a way to celebrate our best finishes.  This year I picked my top five (5) posts that received the most views.  I hope you enjoy the trip down memory lane!  

BEST OF 2018

This quilt was my math lesson of the year!  I seriously had to calculate and recalculate in order for the pieces to all come together.  I love everything about this quilt...color, design, quilting and matched binding!  One of my favorites of the entire year for sure! 



Cheryl @Meadow Mist Designs and Paige @Quilted Blooms asked if I'd participate in the Modern Plus Sign Quilts Book Hop, and I jumped at the chance!  This was my version of the Plus Surround quilt which I took a bit of a creative detour on!  


#3)  LOUVER

This quilt was by far the most labor intensive and unique quilt of the year!   Quilting has always been a creative outlet for me and I wanted to take that creativity to a new level.  This was my first 'textured twist' adventure!



Speaking of 'textured twists'...another idea that became reality!  I'd say this one had the kitchen sink of color thrown in at every turn.  A combination of twists, log cabins and improv came together for an intriguing finish. 



This was my second version of 'It's a Gem'.  After completing 'It's a Gem I', I felt the need to redeem myself.  First in precision and second in design.  I always want to put forth my best work, but I'm not shy about pointing out the flaws in my eyes.


It was a very good year!  Health, creativity, happiness...three things I hope to continue through 2019 and beyond!
