The Kimberly Quilt was a recent quilt along by GEQuiltDesigns.com. I pin basted it at our last church sew day and one of my quilty buds loved the fabric colors and the design, so that was inspiration enough for me to finish it up quickly.
The fabric was a layer cake I bought thru Missouri Star, which sat here for a year or two. I quilted it with Superior So Fine thread color 402 and Bottom Line in the bobbin. It has a puffy poly batting. I quilted it in a continuous method of orange peels working independently in several directions. I quilt on a Janome sit down machine. It finished at 52 x 64 . I wish I made it a tad larger. I had intended to hand stitch down the binding on this one. ( I do all my quilt for kids quilt bindings by machine) But I made the magic binding for it and then realized it gets stitched down by machine. And so it goes and is already gifted.
Here is the backing which was a wide back. I like backings that have several colors in them as they will compliment many quilt top styles and color plans.

The wedges for this project were cut several years ago. I was playing with a special short 10 degree wedge ruler and fabric which had an unusual print. This was before ombre fabric was on the market. When I was clearing thru a couple boxes of UFO projects, I stumbled on this batch of cut wedges and thought it would be quick to stitch up. It is only 26 inches across and I thought the center opening was larger than it should be.
I quilted it on my Janome DSM and used the walking foot and a decorative stitch on the seams. Bias binding finished it off and now it's looking for a new home. I used a lovely dark wine colored print on the back and neglected to get a photo.
It's been several weeks since I've had something quilty to share. I lost my summer to nasty pnemonia and have since been doing lots of piecing and some fmq.

I first posted about this project in October, 2021. It was a spin-off idea from the Stay At Home Round Robin ( SAHRR ) which began here ... SAHRR … pronounced “stay at home round robin.” | Quilting Gail. I also started a 'Round' Robin style, which is lovely, but still unfinished.
All the dog pics were cut out from a panel I bought last year. If you're interested to get one for yourself, I just found one here Amazon.com: Doggie Drama 24'' Novelty Dog Panel Cream Quilt Fabric : Pet Supplies.
I am not good at getting clear close-up photos showing detail. I took it to church this morning for a photo. Everyone loved it. I think I like it so much, not just because of the doggies, (that I love) but because of the crisp white background and the many colors in the fabrics. I forgot to get a pic of the backing, but it is readily available as a wide back.
Here is my "Puppy Parade". It measures 64 x 72. I quilted it with So Fine off white and gray threads on the top and white Bottom Line thread in the bobbin. There is straight line quilting and curved free motion quilting in the blocks and borders and a stipple in the background of the dog squares, which make the doggies pop. I made a magic binding for this one, so the faux cording would stand out between the binding and top.
What a great finish for me this week. I'm joining these linky parties so please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing this week.

I cut out this pattern as a kit last December. Since I needed a canvas to stitch along with Natalia Bonner for her third annual 9 Patchalong where she shares new ruler quilting designs, I used it to follow along with her blocks. It finished at 46 x 54. My designs look a bit different since my blocks are rectangle and not square. It's difficult to photo quilting designs that were stitched on printed fabrics. Next year I'm going with blenders.
There is the soft and pretty fleece on the back.

Have a great week. Thanks so much for stopping by.
I have been sick with pnemonia for several months, so time spent in the sewing room was very sparse. I'm trying to move forward as life can pass you by very quickly.
This quilt was cut as a kit last December 2021 making a nice little package to grab for a church sew day. It finished at 44 x 54. I cut the squares as rectangles to avoid being a square quilt. I didn't want to quilt thru the white strips, so I had alot of starts and stops. New plan next time, leave the white strips for the outer border only.
It has a layer of cotton batting and a printed fleece on the back, quilted with silver glide thread on the top and bottom line in the bottom.
