What a year! I'm pretty sure were all ready to be done with 2020 and are hoping that 2021 is a better year in so many ways.
I finished quilting my last quilt of the year and it feels like the right one to end with. The top was assembled at the end of November (Frivolous Fun), but with many of my quilts it takes a while to come up with a quilting plan and call it done!

As far as the quilting goes I kept it pretty simple. The largest circles were quilted with 1/2" lines using grey thread. A simple but effective detail that pretty much is my go to design.
The remaining quilting was a combination of vertical and horizontal lines in varying widths. I used the black and white stripes as a guide for many of the lines.
And for a unexpected added detail, I quilted circles in three sizes randomly throughout the quilt. That detail fit nicely with the overall design of the quilt. Nothing fancy here!
One of my goals for 2020 was to use as much of my stash as humanly possible! It not only feels good, but my load has been lightened considerably! I've had this Ikea number fabric for several years and decided it was time to let it go. It makes such a great backing, don't you think? The good news is I used it and have enough left for one more backing.
The good old pile of quilt goodness!
I wish you all a very Happy Healthy New Year! Good-Bye 2020...you will not be missed, Hello 2021!
