Two Finishes
I shared these flimsys in recent weeks. They are now machine quilted and bound. I needed the basting pins for new sandwiching later this week which helps keep the cycle of starts and finishes moving along.
The Pooh Bear16-Patch was made as challenge to work from the green scrappy bin for RSC in January. I quilted it in a diagonal grid with Glide 40 wt. thread. It measures 43 x 56.
It has an 80/20 batting and a nice gray fleece backing.
I couldn't resist quilting up this little Scrappy Love quilt since it is needed for a gift next month. It came about because the RSC color for February is red. Didn't make much of a dent in that scrap bin, so hope to work from it some more this week.
I had a grand time quilting it with a pink Glide thread. I treated each shape, area or block independently; which is my typical way of quilting. The feathers in the hearts dont show up well in the dark fabric. It measures 28 inches square which can be useful for a playmat or over the carseat.
It also has 80/20 batting and a nice soft knit type print of pinks with a bit of silver fabric on the back. The quilting might show up better on the back. An 80/20 batting makes a nice foundation for quilting.

Scrappy Love
Since I did such a thorough job with my bin of green scraps last month, I was hoping to carry the habit through this year. I admit it is a time consuming process. I have to choose their purpose by trimming to sizes , sort into strips or precuts of squares and triangles and decide what to make with them.
This little project came about because Angela called the RSC color for February 'Red' and I needed a special little baby quilt. This quilt will only be 28 inch square but perfect for infant and/or tossing over a car seat or playmat.
It was inspired by a quilt posted HERE. I changed up the piecing just a bit to eliminate a few seams. The background fabric is really a very pale pink. The photo was taken inside. Maybe I'll get to quilting it up this week.

Color My World Q4K
Just finished this colorful quilt for kids. I had leftovers from a fat quarter collection and chose this quilt design to use it up. I got the idea from an online photo and made my own plan to fit the size I wanted. It finished 40 x 48. I made a scrappy binding from leftover strips. I quilted it on a Janome sit down. The fleece backing made it difficult to free motion quilt smoothly.
It has 80/20 batting and is quilted with a cream shade of Glide 40 wt thread in top and bobbin.
