I made it!  The Christmas quilt was finished before Christmas!  (Okay, I finished it on Christmas Eve, but a win still in my book!)  It took a bit longer than I expected.  I had it all quilted and was sewing the binding on the back when realized that the last set of quilting was unraveling.  I had changed out the bobbin when I started that section and when I reset everything, I evidently missed a step (the Allegro is a very fussy sister - if it's not done her way, she won't play nice).  I had to re-quilt the last part of the quilt after putting the binding on. I gave the quilt a wash on Christmas Day, and it's done! 

I also finished the binding on the RBD (Riley Blake Designs) 2025 Block Challenge quilt while I was at ti - one more UFO (unfinished object) completed - just in time to start the 2026 RBD Block Challenge!
