Pointless Quilter

 It was a good year for me - but not so much in quilting.  I got a lot done but not like I used to do many years ago.  I am so surprised how much I got done when I worked full time.  How did I do it? So here are the quilt finishes for this year.  Bonnie Hunter Mystery 2024/25 Diamond Gardens Laundry Basket Blizard (This was a pre-cut kit--way to go with all these angles) Fig Tree Mystery Hodge Podge (This was a kit) A simple 5" square quilt with chenille to make it look like plaid.  Flower Girl quilt Our pastor and his wife had a baby boy this year and they named him Judah.  Thought this was a cute quilt for him.
