This is the unintended quilt, and the last finish of 2025. It's titled "Riley's Starry Daydreams", and it's headed for Charlotte on a plane (with me) in the morning. I'd planned to complete quite another quilt project to welcome our first great granddaughter into this world. But instead, this quilt happened.
It began with a stack of charm squares given to me by a quilting friend. And with a cute, free pattern using charm squares by Pat Sloan called "O My Stars". I'd eyed those squares for several months, and even put a post-it note on them with Pat's pattern name. But there was just one stack of squares, and I needed more to make the design. Our guild treasure sale yielded some fat quarters that went with the 5" squares. Before I knew what was happening, I'd started slicing and cutting, and arranging the pieces on the design wall.
Of course there are several other quilt projects that were waiting in line already. But did that stop this quilt from happening?? NO, it did not. And longarm quilter Deb Johnston happened to have a spot open to quilt this and get it back to me quickly. She quilted a cute star and bubble design.
Does this ever happen in your sewing room? Projects that simply insist on being next and jumping the line? Inexplicable, but I love the quilt and recommend Pat's easy to follow pattern. Try it yourself, it's a quick project, even if a little pushy.
