Adding Hope - March One Monthly Goal Finished

For my own birthday, I've made my first scrappy quilt. Adding Hope started out with finding inspiration for the Jacksonville Modern Quilt Guild's Low Volume Challenge due April 2020.

This meets my One Monthly Goal for March 2020

Check out what everyone completed in March at:
Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal March Link-up

You can also see my proposal HERE.

Web Surfing for Low Volume Quilts when it was announced as the guild challenge I decided I wanted something like Ashley of Film in the Fridge's Marcelle Plus Quilt, you can see here:

I got it done just in time and my quilting goes vertical instead of horizontal

And here it is ready for use on my glider rocker:

I'm thrilled to have this throw for myself.
