Ohio Star Series 21-1 Patriotic

 I am double-dipping my project challenges this week.  I am in a monthly table runner challenge.  

I am also in a 'Series'  challenge on the Stashbusters group.  I chose 2 challenges to focus on this year  -- one is designs using the  'chisel'  shape  and the other is  the Ohio Star series.  I will work with the Ohio Star Series first,  hoping to keep sane.

So this is my table scraps challenge for the month of May -  a patriotic table runner.  I must confess I got the inspiration from  this site   A Summer Runner and Sew Sampler 2021 | Cluck Cluck Sew . 

I got carried away with the quilting  -- quilted 8-point stars  in every square with a large one over the ohio star .  A quick quilting of waves in the striped areas.  It finished at 18" x 54" ; a large tablerunner  or to hang on a door.

This weekend   I'm linking up with Joy of  The Joyful Quilter for her Table Scraps Monthly challenge; Angela of Soscrappy  and Cynthia for Oh Scrap .  

I may also join these inspirational blogs  this week.  Be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

RSC21 - May "Reds"

 I got my 5 scrappy red blocks done for this month, which inspired me to also make a R/W/B tablerunner .  If I quilt it in time,  I will share it next week.

Since they're on pointe, this years blocks may make a pretty large quilt,  so far I'm keeping up (if we don't count previous years projects).

Quilts 4 Kids - 21-3

 I gave up creating a name for every quilt.  When there are several quilts in the same category, I just give it a category name, the year and number in that series; i.e. quilts 4 kids 21-3.  This quilt was made from a kit I cut in late winter of 2019 or 2018.?  I've lost track now.

21-3  Rail fence is red, pink and yellow rails and measures 45 x 56.  It is free motion quilted with scallop flowers.  Angela Walters calls it the Flower Meander

I backed it with a peach and gray fleece.  It also has a thin cotton batting between the layers.

3 Yard Quilts Challenge

Mary Johnson of  the  Heartstrings group sparked everyone's interest with a 3 Yard Quilt Challenge.  They are quick and easy and you can't stop at just one.  Our challenge mission will run through June.

You can explore more about the 3 Yard Quilts with it's originator, Donna Robertson  over at Fabric Cafe.   Donna also has a you.tube channel where she demonstrates her patterns and fabric bundles every Tuesday and Thursday.  

Here are my first 3 - 3 yard quilts so far.  I have another flimsy made, which is not quilted yet.  

3 Yard 21-1  Monkeys

backing ......

3 Yard 21-2 - Beach Balls

Back

3 Yard 21-3 Teddy Bears

Back 

These all measure  42 x 56 and are backed with a fleece print.  It was a struggle free motion quilting on the sit down machine.  I fmq the first two but the fleece seemed to drag on the table surface.  The 3rd quilt was quilted with the walking foot on my Janome.

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