Alpha 3- yard Quilt and Starry Night 3-yard Quilt finishes

I've been quilting up some recently made flimsies. The first is Alpha which is a 3 yard quilt pattern offered by MaterialGirlfriends.com. My version finished at 47 x 55. I quilted it with Glide thread. You can see the bottom corner reveals the backing which is a red/black plaid fleece.

My other finish is another 3-yard quilt pattern; this one offered by sewcanshe.com. The pattern is called Stars and Ladders. My version finished at 45 x 57.

I quilted it with Glide thread. The back is a fleece design that works very well with this quilt. Both quilts have 80/20 batting.

These quilts will be donated to Miriam's Closet which is a church mission that serves local area foster children.

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

Blocks, Blocks & More Blocks

I spent last week catching up on blocks for assorted projects. This first set is Month 4 for London Calling, a BOM designed by Gudrun Erla of GEQuiltDesigns.com. The block on top represents the front entrance of a British Pub. The lower blocks are lightning bolts significant from the Harry Potter series. I am totally unawares to anything Harry Potter,

The Jelly Roll Club is a facebook group and website . Yvonne offers several free and very awesome projects. This year began the Mystery Stars quilt along. She also has a youtube video demonstrating how to make each block. These are my stars to date. Being slightly temperamental, I changed up a few designs. Yvonne declares she is fine with that. These are my January blocks ..... They are 12 inch and 6 inch blocks.

Lastly, 2024 3YD Quilt Series Sew Along - Material Girlfriends is challenging you to make a 3-yard quilt monthly. They offer up a free pattern along with a few color options. A new challenge is issued on the 15th. January's pattern is "Alpha" . I have adjusted the pattern ever so slightly so I could make mine one column wider; omit one narrow border and stay within the fabric allotment. I have 30 'Alpha' blocks waiting for assembly.

Phew! It's time to get back to machine quilting. I'm joining these linky parties this week. Be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.
