Here's my last finished and gifted quilt for 2025! Our dear friends Jeff & Kelly waited a long time for a special quilt.

In fact, they waited so long, I don't think they were expecting it at all. Lots of hugs, maybe some tears, and it went right to their bed.

| I love the little stripe for the binding. |
I stumbled across Annemarie's neutral version of her Jack and Benny quilt on Instagram and knew immediately I was going to straight up copy her design.

| Hmmmm something's not right.... |
Of course I was scrambling to finish in time for Christmas and was so excited to finish the top. I snapped a pic to text Hubs. Thank goodness I did. 😕
So Jack (the ripper) and I spent quite a bit of time together after that. Six. That's the number of blocks I had to take apart to fix those two up there. 😩 After that, it was a dash to Donna for a longarm spa day. It's a special friend that will drop everything and quilt for you in December. 💕

Sadly, I was in such a scramble, I didn't take any photos (again) before it was gifted. Would it be rude to show up on a sunny day to stage a photo shoot? Probably. They won't mind.
The pattern is Jack and Benny by Annemarie Chaney and finished at 84" square. Thanks for a great pattern Annemarie!
Piece...
