I have both a finish and a NOT (well, it's a flimsy!)
First is my finish. The green 'Duckworth' is done and ready for the Crumb Trunk Show on August 19, 2025!
I learned a few 'things' with this quilt (and my piecing style):
1. My scraps have plenty of other colors mixed in, so I don't feel I needed to add the 'extra pop'. If I do, make sure the scraps are on the smaller size.
2. Old habits die hard...I really didn't 'need' 4 patches as my 'starters'. I should have just stuck with the log cabin beginning pieces.
3. I have.more.green...so I will try this again. :)

My second is my NOT but it is a flimsy. It is The Ribbon Sew- Along by Alycia of Alycia Quilts. I just love her designs and this was quick! I did piece the first border in the wrong order but you really don't notice and when I put it on the design wall for this post. Well...sideways but I just went with it! :)
pattern: The Ribbon Quilt by Alycia
You can find the links on her blog if you search 'The Ribbon Quilt' but better do it in a jiffy because the steps will vanish in a few weeks! After that, the pattern should be available for purchase.
Sharing today with Alycia at Finish or NOT Friday.

I enjoyed reading what you learned form making this beautiful piece, Pat. Now I wonder did it use up as many scraps as you thought. I'm just done two projects using scraps and I swear I have more than I started with which defies logic I know. Anyway, happy continued stitching from me, J
Oooh. The serpentine quilting. Perfect for your Duckworth. And now I simply have to make one.
