So this didn't end up being my most productive year ever. It started out great. Then I decided to go back to graduate school and that took up my extra time. Also work, but mostly graduate school. I did get some sewing done though, and it is important to remember that fabric is patient. It was such a nice change to find sewing time last weekend. I played with some ideas for a new leader and ender project now that the plus blocks are done. I got a comment last week with the name of the inspiration quilt. It is Scrappy
Lattice by Bonjour Quilts. The sashings are all the same but the blocks sizes are different. I like the idea of using the squares that I already have cut. Since I haven't cut the lattices yet, that would be the easier measurement to vary. I could easily replace the four patch with a single larger square as well. No final decision yet, but getting there!
I auditioned some sashing strips for the NC State T-shirt quilt and got a vote on where to go next from the customer. So that is ready to move forward.
I got a calming border onto the Hen & Chick blocks and kept sewing random 2 inch squares together for that. I still need some more squares! That will keep my leaders and enders moving forward until I settle on a new plan.
What end of the year wrap up do you have going on? Misterlinky is below. Please share your 2024 odds and ends or your new plans and schemes for 2025.

Love the finishing solutions for both your NC State t-shirt quilt and the Hen and chicks project. Both bring cohesiveness to the quilts.
I'm glad that fabric is patient, too - I have a lot of partially finished projects waiting in the wings! Your Scrappy Lattice idea is great, and I love how Hens and Chicks I turning out, too. Mr. Linky is missing - I'll link up when he's available. Meanwhile, have a wonderful Christmas, Angela!
I'm loving the Hen and Chicks quilt! Great colors!
That STATE quilt looks great, Angela! I like both your possible 2025 L/E project as well as the interim border pieces currently serving that function. Good luck with sewing all the things!
Hen and Chicks looks great!! and grad school - go you!! Hope you are just loving it!
Congrats on the (almost) flimsy. Pretty sampler quilt and I love the scrappy border. Thanks for doing RSC 2024! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas.
You've made some good progress during hour break. Enjoy the holiday and the kiddos. Merry Christmas!
