As usual I love to take place in Cheryl's Linky Party to review the best posts from this year. Visit Cheryl to see what favorites others have.
As last year I've taken part in challenges from Quilt Improv Studio. It's so fun to sew without a pattern. This one is called My Little Mondrian, and was made with primary colours. Here is the story.
Scrappy quilts are my favorites, and I made a blue pineapple quilt this year. It was exhibited in March for the annual meeting for Norwegian Quilt Association. You can read more about it here.
This year I've tried kawandi, and made some small quilts for needle cases. Here you can see one of them. I'd like to try a bigger kawandi one day.
Some months ago I was contacted by my friend Preeti. She had made a beautiful quilt, and was featured in Make Modern magazine. She had decided to make a pattern for sale, and asked me for being a pattern tester. As I love challenges, I said yes at once. It is a really easy and beginner friendly pattern, and gives you a beautiful result. This is my version, and here your can read more about it. You can also find it in different colourways through the blog hop. Now I'm hand quilting it.
As always I have to include some pincushions, as I love them so much. Here's a post about my latest pincushions, but you can find more in the side bar or here.

Congratulations on a good and creative year! Improv sewing is so much fun! I try to take part in some improv off and on. Your pineapple quilt is wonderful with all the movement with the quilting. Kawandi is also on my bucket list. I should start with something small like your needle case!
