Best of 2021

It's time again to join in Cheryl/Meadow Mist Designs' annual 'Best of' linky party. There's a variety of ways to go about it, and as is my tradition, I'm choosing to base my 'best' solely on reader views of blog posts, counting up from #5 to the most viewed post of 2021.

With Liberated Wedding Rings, I had an inspiration pattern in mind, and began with a palette inspired by one particular printed scrap, and then it grew as my need for more scraps grew. 


Patchwork Sashiko was something I tried just once so far, but it was perfect for my scrap focus; and of course it was fun to try something new!



Boy were folks interested About those House Top Blocks. A simple log cabin variation, the resultant quilt really did use up a ton of scraps. I enjoyed mixing various substrates into this project too.


The End of 50 Days of Scraps along with the beginning post, 50 Days of Scraps, garnered a lot of interest. I think using up scraps is always in the back of a quilter's mind, and I certainly enjoyed the variety of projects I used mine in. Starting to get excited to do it all again! Below is the back and front of my initial scrap project; then below is the finished Liberated Rings quilt.




And finally, my Fine-Line Piecing quasi-tutorial wins with the most views, and I saw lots of folks using this technique throughout the year. Not all necessarily from my post, of course, but it was popular. I agree it's a good technique to have in your quilting tool-kit.

Did you notice that most of the most popular posts were process-oriented rather than finished projects? Interesting! And all but one was part of my 50 Days of Scraps. Fair enough! I just really appreciate your interest in what I'm up to through the year!
