Last finish of the year

 This has been quite a year.  It's amazing that it doesn't matter how old we are. . . we're still learning.  There are new experiences to teach us and expose us to things we never imagined.

I was able to finish my whale quilt with a day to spare.








I love the blues and beiges of these Janet Clare lines of fabric.  But it needed a little "Oomph" so I added  the coral.  


I'll close with this quote that expresses my learning curve this last year and goes along with the ocean theme.


"A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor."

Franklin D. Rooselveldt


I welcome the New Year with all it's possibilities.                                                                                         Robin

The coral inserts take the Whale to an entirely new level of interest. A perfect finish for the year. Wishing you and your family a blessed and peaceful new year.

Your whale quilt is just beautiful, and I love the touch of coral! May you have a wonderful 2026!

Absolutely the right decision to add the coral to the quilt! It's a beauty!

That is a great quilt, Robin, and the coral color is a nice pop to add depth.
I like that final quotation, but I also hope that we get some calmness now and then to recover from the choppy sea! ;)

The search began

 because I was bringing all my magazines upstairs I decided to go through them and flag the quilts that I'm interested in making someday...
