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.
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.....
I'm linking up with these great blogs this week. Be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.
