It's been a pretty good year in the sewing room. All the stitching time has allowed me to make some progress on every project that was on my stitching plan (and a couple that weren't). The focus on progress has meant I've gotten 5 finishes so far this year, but I'm set up for even more next year.
The last project on the plan is Squared Away. This project was the 2018 Rainbow Scrap Project quilt along. I finished all the blocks in 2018, but then they sat waiting for inspiration on how to set them. I'm not sure my setting is all that inspired, but I'm happy with how it's going together.
Just one last sashing to stitch into the middle and then it will be ready to add the borders. Hopefully the borders can be finished up this week and then this project can go into the "to be quilted" closet.
Then what? This is the last project on my quilt plan. I've got one more month on the Guild BOM and the Marble Mystery continues into next year. Old Town, this year's Bonnie Hunter mystery, kicks off on Friday. Usually the BH mystery is pretty intense, so I may not need to add any projects to my list. We'll see.
Linking up with Design Wall Monday and Patchwork & Quilts.

I think the black fabric enhances the bright colors of the fabrics, good choice. Happy quilting!
Good for you for such great progress~ and I like how this one is laid out - after the quilting and the binding you will love it again. I really like the idea of a Quilt plan, how do you stick to it tho? haha!
I love the black sashing for these blocks! I rarely use black, but I have to remember how nicely it highlights the bright colors of the blocks. Thanks for the inspiration!
Squared Away looks gorgeous with these black sashings and colorful corners. Great choice! Well done with your quilting plan, and it's nice to have a few new projects ahead. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your successful year!
Beautiful finish! Great idea to sash in black--it really makes the quilt sparkle! Old Town is very tempting to me! But so intense, as you said!
It turned out great. I love it.
You have had a productive year. I can not wait to see what you have in store for 2025. This quilt looks amazing the black sashing makes the blocks pop. You are so fortunate to have a design wall too. Have a very lovely week, Kate. Hugs
You’ve chosen beautiful fabrics for the Bonnie Hunter mystery. I will be watching from the sidelines!
