Today I would like to share my newest finish with you. I have wanted to make a new quilt for my newest son-in-law for a while so I asked my daughter suggestions and colors. Brendan's favorite color is green and I choose a pattern with flying geese since he is a pilot. Looking through several patterns, we choose the pattern Formation, designed by Myra @Busy Hands Quilts. I had many greens in my stash, but I limited the spectrum to the lighter greens, ranging from yellow greens to sage.
I used Kona Ash for the background. This pattern was easy to machine piece.
I straight line quilted 1/4" in the background/negative space with gray thread and FMQ in the geese with green thread.
I used a solid green for the backing and one of the geese colors for the binding.
We were able to celebrate Brendan's birthday while we were visiting them in their beautiful new home in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Back in the summer of 2011, I found a challenge on Facebook to make a bowtie block a day! I completed that challenge but never found the challenge again. This year I decided to make a personal daily challenge throughout the summer months. I'm calling this challenge the (#100dayssummer2025project). I drafted a simple paper pieced dress pattern. I copied it and reversed the pattern so there will be 2 versions. 
To get 100 days, I started May 25th and will go to Sept 2nd.
Here are my first 7 blocks (I will try to post 1 week at a time).
All the dresses and tights are scraps from my stash. I am having fun 'dressing' the girls. The inspiration for this challenge came from the book,
The 100 Dresses by Eleanor Estes.
I hope you enjoy watching as my collection of dresses grows!
What a nice quilt!
