Lima Twin Quilt - finished

This quilt began in April with the 3Yd quilt challenge at Material Girlfriends (scroll down to April's post. I made this one scrappy and used yellow since it was the RSC color that month. My cutting plan for scrappy took much too long, so I challenged myself to a smaller one that was actually cut from just 3 fabrics. You can see it HERE .

My yellow Lima is finally finished. I quilted it with a yellow Glide thread, quilting an allover design of overlapping circles....... so fun. It measures 60 x 82. It's already been donated to our local Childrens Foster Closet.

I used a soft green print on the back. Bottom line gray was used in the bobbin.

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

FMQ Row by Row

This was a whole cloth, free motion quilting via row by row style designed by Jeanne Harrison on Facebook back in 2019. Each row had a different design. Jeanne has since passed away.

This is Row 3 of 5. I believe I did Row 1 also but it was set aside for some unstitching? Since then, I knew I would not complete this project so I decided this row could be a dresser scarf. I quilted it on my DSM on ecru color fabric with Gold Glide thread top and bobbin and a poly batt. It sat all these years, so I decided to bind it and move on. It measures 13 x 54.

Here are some close-up photos................

Meet Me in Paris - Pt 1

Meet me in Paris is a new 'quick project' being shared at the Jelly Roll Club Meeting Room, which is a private group on facebook. B U T ..... if you join the group, you also can play along. The project is starting next Sunday BUT I had to play around in EQ to make my plan. THen I had to choose fabrics. I settled for 2 groups of fat quarters, one for the center squares and one for the sashing.

I couldn't resist getting it cut out. Then I couldn't resist sewing pieces and parts together.! I made 48 blocks and 20 sashing stripsets which need to be subcut into units. Why is it so difficult to resist sewing the parts together when they're all stacked nicely from cutting?

Here is my sampling. I am positively waiting until next Sunday to assemble all my blocks!

Help How Do I quilt It - borders

Angela Walters is hosting a new quilt along challenge. You can buy the gorgeous panel to quilt on or you don't have to as the video lessons are free. They also come with free handouts. You can find out all about it at How Do I Quilt It Challenge – Quilting Is My Therapy

In the meantime ................. the panel was so gorgeous, I determined it was only fit for a bedquilt. So I delved into adding borders to make it queen size. I began in EQ8, import a photo of the quilt, then start building around it. It seems the border style I liked best was made up of 6" x 8" blocks. It took much messing about to adjust inner borders so the blocks would fit properly around the quilt. Then, you still have to sew them accurately! Now, I've added 5 borders in the plan; 3 of which are open background. These added borders were necessary when I found all my blocks are finishing at 7-3/4" instead of 8", which make for more adjustment to have it fit.

I'm getting too old for this. I need to stick to kiddo quilts, so much fun and quickly done!

So my progress has been to get this pieced border ready for assembly happening at church sew day.

This doesn't look like much BUT it is 42 blocks containing 12 pieces in each. I have told myself "no more bed size quilts" -- more than once.
