Happy New Year! I hope things are off to a good start for you. I’ve enjoyed using this simple calendar that I created for the Hunt Quilt Along, and so I thought I’d share an update with you in case you’d like to use it too! Here’s my 2021 Printable Calendar.

Ray Quilt Along #5: Bind and Finish.
Can you believe it? We’ve made it all the way to the end! My quilt is all quilted, and it’s time to bind and finish it.
Here’s the video.
What do you think? I know that many of you have been pushing yourselves whether it’s in your fabric and color choices, the way you’re quilting your quilt, or whatever else has been striking you lately. As we wrap up our quilts, what have you learned or been most excited about?
For me, this project has just been a bright spot in a not-always-bright year. I chose a palette that brought me joy every time I looked at it, and the resulting quilt does just that. There’s also something special about finishing the project as the year is ending and the new year begins. This year has brought challenges and surprises, and we’ve all done our best to find our way through it.
Thanks so much for sharing in this Quilt Along with me. Your projects have been a joy to see, and I can’t wait to see what the next year brings.
Happy New Year to you.

Ray Quilt Along #4: Baste and Quilt.
Who’s ready to baste and quilt? I have to say that it always feels like a big milestone to get a project basted and ready to quilt. Since I’ll be hand quilting this one, that means I can get the Netflix and couch ready!
Here’s the video.
Because of all that we’re covering this week, this video is longer than the others. As with all of my videos, you can make use of the “Chapters” in the description to jump around to any sections you wish to revisit.
I share some thoughts about batting in the video, and if you’d like to use what I’m using I put together a listing for it in my shop.
What’s your favorite way to baste your project? Do you use your cutting table like I do? And how are you thinking you’ll quilt your project? I’d love to know what you are thinking about.
The Quilt Along will be taking a break for the next 2 weeks. I’ll see you back here on December 31, 2020 with the final part of the project! Your homework for the next couple of weeks is to get your quilt basted and quilted.
