 I finished my Rainbow Scrap Challenge Quilt from 2020 some time ago and it's been hanging up in my living room for a while.   I forgot to post about it.  This is the first Rainbow Scrap Challenge Quilt that I have done, and it happened during 2020, The year of Covid, but more hard hitting for me, was that in May of 2020, my mother fell and broke her knee and wrist (actually her dog ran into and knocked her over!).   It was a very difficult summer.  I had to move in with mom for 2 months while she was recovering in a wheel chair and later with a walker then a cane.   I vividly remember sewing these blocks together during June and July.  The good news of course, is that my mom made a complete recovery and fortunately, she lives very close to me in the same town, so I could go and see my husband and kids frequently during the time she was recovering.  

I love the quilt now and I am happy that I finished it.  It is a pattern from Melissa Cory.  I think it's called Scraptastic Stars.

 I thought I would post the 3 quilts that I finished for my nieces and nephew.  Sorry the pictures are not that good.


This is for my sister's new little baby girl, Evelyn:


This is for my 5 year old niece Malloy and her brother Reid who is 6:












 It took over a year, but at last I finished Devaney's Graduation Quilt.   I started it when she graduated from High School, and finished it when she graduated from Massage Therapy School.   She was really excited about it and asked for a green border.   There are over 530 circles in the quilt!  It's a pattern from Laundry Basket Quilts.
