Each year Cheryl over at Meadow Mist Designs hosts a linky party for the 'BEST of' your blog for that year! No set way to decide which are the best! It is up to you which is nice because sometimes my favorite don't get a lot of 'eyes' or comments for whatever reason. So here are my top picks:
Coming in 5th is my April 30th post revealing my Simple and Sweet baby quilt gifted to my daughter for my granddaughter, Freya! I love the colors in this quilt (chosen by my daughter) and is one of my favorites but for some reason didn't get as many views. I loved making this pattern from PenandPaperPatterns...I've made it 2 times in completely different colors!
Next in the countdown is my June 26th post revealing my daughter and son-in-laws wedding quilt! This was another fun quilt to make! At my first look at the pattern, I thought 'How does this work?' The pattern is well written and the technique is clever. My plan is to make another quilt in different colors!Coming in 3rd is my September 22nd post revealing my Forest Friends baby quilt gifted to a close family friend expecting her first baby. This pattern is all paper pieced. I changed some of the blocks slightly and added the words which I embroidered as well as the eyes.
Coming in next is a tie, both with 12 comments. The first is a post from July 15th, revealing my Sweet Summer Strawberries quilt. This quilt is so fresh looking and makes me want to taste some sweet strawberries! The second post that tied is my November 6th post revealing the 1st RSC quilt from 2022 that I finished...Kaleidoscope! Many people commented on the quilting I did on this quilt!My overall 'Best of 2022' is my November 18th blog post revealing my Squiggles quilt finish. Squiggles was a RSC quilt for 2022. I made 3 different RSC blocks/quilts during 2022 but Squiggles was always a favorite among my readers!Thanks to all that read my blog and to the many comments! 2022 was a good year finishing 16 quilts! Besides quilting, I made many knitting projects for charity with my knitting group! I also made fabric postcards for my grandchildren, a technique I've been wanting to make for many years!
Thanks to Cheryl for hosting this party. Head on over and see what others have done this year!
I do love your Squiggles quilt, Dawn, but the Strawberries are a close second! Those strawberries do look fresh and summery. Happy quilting in 2023!
