Phoenix QAL - Quilts 4 Kids

 This is my 4th finish for Hands 2 Help program.  You can click on this link to read all about the program.

https://academicquilter.blogspot.com/p/hands-2-help-2022.html

This quilt is a result of  the Phoenix QAL  last year from GE Quilt Designs.  I made it from a batik fat quarter collection plus a few extras from my stash.  It measures 55 x 78. 

I quilted it on my Janome Versa sit-down with cream Glide thread on top and cream Bottom Line in the bobbin.  I used the Westelee Circles on Quilts template to quilt the baptist fan design allover.  It has a thick poly batting and this pretty flower print on the back.

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

Quilts 4 Kids for Hands 2 Help

If you are encouraged to participate in the Hands 2 Help program, you can read all about it  HERE 

 I quilted the 2 tops shared last week for Hands 2 Help program and this week I'm quilting on the Phoenix top made last year with GE Quilt Designs quilt along.  That quilt is a lap size and will also go for Hands 2 Help.

This one is the 2nd quilt made on behalf of Hands2Help.  The first was the red and pink 3-part triangle quilt and free pattern shared  HERE  .   Quilt # 2 is a Grandmas Goodness pattern  from GE Quilt Designs;  so easy and fun to make.  I adjustment the measurements to accommodate my favorite child size of 46 x 58.

It has a cotton batting and a fun sporty fleece print on the back

Here is quilt # 3.  This pattern is called  Step by Step by the irish quilter.com.  I also adjusted the measurements to finish at 46 x 58.  The center panel is images of dinosaurs.

Apparently I bought too much of this dinosaur fabric, so I used a big piece for the backing and it also has a cotton batting.  Both quilts were quilted with Omni thread on top and Bottom Line gray in the bobbin.  I used rulers and free motion quilting for both projects.

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