Joanne and I are running a quilt along in 2022 using Bonnie Hunter's "Unity" medallion quilt pattern for our local guild. We both missed making it last winter and were re-inspired when we saw another guild member's finished quilt this fall. I love scrappy medallion quilts. I have been gathering fabric for this quilt this month. The original colors are red, blue, and aqua, but I'm using bright yellow, dark blue, and light blue since I have a lot of blues in my stash and want to use more yellow in my quilts. I have a full project box of neutrals collected, too.
I can't wait to begin work on those dreaded chevrons in the center, so I probably will get a head start in a week or so, after I finish quilting the big block quilt (which needs a name!) and binding Harriet's Journey. For 2022, I plan to continue making four 6" pineapple blocks each month, making some 12" blocks in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, and making the guild blocks of the month. I hope to finish a little quilt with elephant blocks on a black background, too.
Meanwhile, this week has been a busy one and the coming week promises more of the same. This week we've had two sets of guests visit for lunch, and today there will a third. The extra leaf is out on the dining room table. Wednesday I'll be helping set up and take down a luncheon for the library staff put on by the Friends of the Library. Due to COVID, we won't be having our traditional holiday gathering, but we don't want the year to go by without recognizing all they are doing.
