I'm running a bit behind on my personal goal of making 2 quilts for kids each month. Maybe I can catch up with myself.
In the meantime, I have finished these 2 quilts for kids which each finished at 38 x 51 after quilting. I used an extra loft poly batting (trying to use up the roll) and my usual fleece backing. I forgot to take a photo of the back but it is an adorable design with different kinds of puppy dogs.
Since these quilts had so much loft to them, I quilted on my DSM with the walking foot. The kids won't mind as the fabrics are so fun and colorful.

and 23-3 Monkeys - which I gave away to a 2 month old foster baby soon as it came out of the dryer

I stuck it out on time for each week! I do love this quilt, always happens when I create them using a Round Robin method. I thought it needed to be a miniature size cuz no one would want it with this folk style cat block in the center or the colors. Well these are some of my most favorite colors. It turned out to be an oversize lap quilt or even a twin size - 76 x 88 before quilting. I will hang on to it for awhile before possibly gifting to a special person ( anyone who says they love it ).
I got carried away - 40 applique blocks in Round 5 had to be stitched down; then I went back and added 10 applique blocks to the centers of Round 3. Not my usual forte but EQ got me into trouble here.
I am anxious to quilt it too. I hope to pin baste it at our church sew day on Monday. I have plans! lol
I'm joining these linky parties this week. Be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

I worked ever so hard to get this project finished by a certain date ..... a goal and a deadline is always an effective incentive for me .
I called this quilt Train Wreck ...... not because anything went wrong, it was just the name that kept coming to mind. So here it is ...... in all its 94 x 107 inches of glory. I used cotton batting, an extra wide fabric for the back, which was still not wide enough as I had to add pieces.
All my quilting is custom style, hand-guided on a Janome Versa sit-down. I have lots of pictures cuz I tried to stitch something different in all of the elements. It was quilted with several different shades of Omni thread and a gray Bottom Line thread in the bobbin.
I tried to get close ups of the quilting elements ........... Click on each photo to enlarge the view.
