Quilts 4 Kids # ? Oct 2020

 I lost track of my number of quilts 4 kids.  My record keeping has been sliding behind this year.  Not for lack of time, maybe ambition or accountability.

I was anxious to try out a new set of quilting rulers, so I went to work on this kit that was cut way back in winter of 2018.  I do not find it pretty, especially for a child, so I will toss it in the back of the car for emergency.

I chose 2 browns  and a green /brown print because it seemed to be all I had to blend with the fleece backing, which is a green army camouflage. It measures 42 x 48.



and here is the back



I will be joining these linky parties.  Be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing this week.

Charmed, I'm Sure

 This was a Stashbuster challenge a few years back,  to turn your collection of charm squares into a finished project.  I had a small collection of  3-1/2 inch squares, so I raided the scrap bins and made lots more 3-1/2 inch squares.  I thought I would take the easy route and make it D9P style to cut, then set on point.  Well, dont look for the areas where they didnt meet up properly.

So I got the top finished, backed it with a wide backing fabric and used Hobbs 80/20 fusible to sandwich the quilt  Then hung it over a hanger which stayed in the laundry room for ........ ?  at least a couple years.

When I set about to quilt it, none of the batting was fused properly.  So I had to pin baste everything together.  It is all FMQ with So Fine thread on top and bottom line in the bobbin.  It came out very nice and I really like this scrappy quilt.  It finished at 58 by 68.


and here is the back, a flowery print on white.....
