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 |
#1) GEOMETRY LESSON
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!
#2) PLUS SURROUND
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!
#4) FIESTY FIESTA
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!
