I'm working on a twin size top for donation, using reds to add to my rsc project collection. I could only fit 16 blocks on the design wall, there are 8 more blocks waiting in the wings. When I get my cutting table cleared off, I can start cutting them apart to re-assemble again. There is also silver/gray and very dark navy in the center which will also be some sashing.
I'm joining these lovely linky parties this week. Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

I started very early today and got these 2 small sandwiches fancy quilted and bound. I know the kiddos and the bears don't give a toot about the fancy quilting, but it is the delightful time for my soul.
They each finished at 18 x 22 to fit this new batch of bears, which are 11 inches long but narrower than the first set of bears ordered. I quilted with a pink Glide thread in the top and bobbin and ruler quilted with special templates.
This special mission project was initially inspired by Mary Johnson of Mary Quilts. You can read more about it HERE .

Thanks so much for stopping by. Wishing you all a creative and happy week.
Now I'm torn whether to call my batch of stuffies wrapped in blankets as Bear Hugs or Care Bears. What do you think?? ( due to overwhelming choice from some quilty friends, it shall remain "Bear Hugs") Thanks to everyone for your input.
This is # 9. I spent too much time quilting on it. I would like to finish #10 by tomorrow to keep up with my goals. In the meantime here is # 9 for this year .......... this little blanket is made with the twist n stitch tool. Such fun, I want to make a bigger one now. Please ignore the patch job I had to do on one petal due to mis-cutting. This guy measures 23 x 27.
Here is the fleece print on the back. So cuddley with batting and fleece. I quilted it with yellow Glide thread.
Here is the little guy getting wrapped up in the blanket for gifting ..

I've tried to have a productive week while working around appointments. I started piecing my Crimson Christmas kit designed by Krista Moser. You can get it HERE . I cut and pieced through steps 1-6 & 12. She has helpful videos on a private group which she will close after one year....come October.
Since I have so many photos today, I kept them on the smaller size. You can click on any photo to get a larger pic.
Then I moved on to donation projects. These bear hugs # 7 & 8 came from the blue scrap bin which was still out from February's RSC. I was going to put it away but there were several rail fence type sets sewn together for L/E. I made a few more to complete the sets and made two bear hug quilts.
# 7 is made from 3" finished rails. finished at 17 x 20. I paired it with a PBS Kids stuffie and free motion quilted a grid using rulers plus a little swirly in the tiny border. The backing is an adorable fleece print of puppies.
