Lil Bear Hugs 26--4 ,26-5 & 26-6

It was definitely time to whip up some more lil bear hug quilts to wrap around stuffies for giving to children. This project was started last year by Mary of MaryQuilts.com. A few of us thought it a great project and continuing it for a long term mission.

Following along with the RSC color of the month in aqua, I used yesterday to sew and quilt 2 lil bear hug quilts. Several years ago I used RSC to make a collection of Scrap Snap blocks offered by Quiltsforthemaking.blogspot.com . This was in 2020. The collection got stored in a box along with several other blocks, all of which I'm now calling a parts dept.

when aqua was called, I pulled out those aqua snap blocks and orange snap blocks for an accent. I used them to make 9 patch centers and added assorted borders cut from the scrap bins. They both finished at 21 x 24 inches and will be used to wrap up stuffies for children.

Lil Bear Hug # 4 was made with potato chip units I had cut over time from scraps. I need to do mots more scrap cutting! Always behind as they gather up so quickly..

Heartstrings Donation # 6 from Valerie Osborne

I received a box of baby size quilt tops from Valerie of ME via Heartstrings Group. I paired a lovely piece of matching aqua print by Riley Blake Designs for the back which looks more blue in the photo but it really is a nice sea green teal matching the front. This baby quilt will be donated to The Hope Center which provides medical services for new moms-to-be.

I free motion quilted using a template by Amanda Murphy. I think she called it a petal which I rotated around to make this quilting design. I think it looks pretty on this quilt.
