https://www.joscountryjunction.com/friday-finish-jimmy-john-and-free-pattern/

A few years ago, the Stashbusters yahoo group put out a challenge to make quilts from your jelly rolls.  I didnt have any jelly rolls at the time, but I did cut my own from my stash.  I was aiming for autumn colors.

So this was a flimsy for a long time,  maybe someone at Stashbusters will remind me what year I succomed to that challenge. ?  Our Myra also made one and I admired her using a light blue background where I used white.  Oh well,  it is finished NOW.

I quilted it on my domestic with allover baptist fans in honor of Marianne.  She always said the baptist fan worked well on any quilt!  It finished at 63 x 77.  It's already been washed and ready for gifting.  I call it Jungle Jim, just because I couldnt get that out of my head.

RSC 2020 - Dark Blues

I shared my blue and green scrap snap blocks last week.  This week I worked on my other 3 RSC projects - 5 blocks, for me , lots of scrappy labor.  I cut most of these parts with the Gocutter.  The blocks turned out so well and without any trimming.  I've learned I'm not a very good rotary cutter and I will use the go whenever I can.

CCQ 20-2 - Boy Blues

This was an easy finish.  It was cut back in late 2018, pieced and sandwiched in 2019 as one of my monthly quick quilt for kids plan.  Then it waited in line to be quilted.  It is backed with fleece , finished at 41 x 41.  I took a side step from FMQ and quilted in a circle with the walking foot.  It sure went quickly.



and here is a snap of the fleece print on the back ....

Churn Dashes

These churn dashes were made from my scrap bins for a special block drive to make quilts for the family of our dear internet quilter friend, Marianne Urban, who lost her battle last week.  She put up a good fight, that's for sure.  She was a friend of many words filled with great guidance and honest caring. I had to take the photo inside with the light on, so the coloring is off.  They really are prettier prints than it appears.

Scrap Snap 2020 - pinks

I shamefully jumped into this scrappy project with credit/blame given to Julie at https://quiltsandcostumes.blogspot.com/2020/05/scrappy-rainbow-saturday-week-21-2020.html for instigating several more of us quilters into yet another project.

The project originates here  with Kari of https://quiltsforthemaking.blogspot.com/.  She provides simple instructions and wonderful examples of colorful quilt layouts !  It really is a simple process,  I got lost along the way and just put them all together into 6-1/2" blocks at random.

These were done so quickly, I've already started cutting for colors that we've already done for RSC this year.  Not sewing them together until I decide on one of the lovely layouts.

RSC 2020 - Pinks

I've had a very colorful and  productive week.  In addition to putting the finishing machine quilting on 2 quilts,  I made the pink blocks for my RSC 2020 projects.  Here they are together ........... 9 inch and 12 inch blocks.  I also cut the parts for 10 scrap snap blocks ready to assemble this week.




I thought it would be a good time to get a photo of this years progress.  It's nice to see them assembled together.  The double pinwheel blocks are looking kinda busy, thinking I might put a narrow sashing and cornerstone between them.  I'll work it out in EQ first, to see if I like it.


scraptastic stars .................




chained pinwheels .......... I   SO love  the secondary design this creates !!




double pinwheels ................

RSC 2020 -April & May Round 2

Working hard at cutting and sewing scrappies for the 2nd set of blocks I'm making this year.  Someone referred to them as scraptastic stars.  Next month I'll lay out the sets that are done on the design wall , just to be inspired by their progress.  These blocks are 12 inches.  Only one more block style to catch up with my RSC projects this year,  but I need 6 of them.





Late this week I caught up on the remaining RSC blocks for this years projects - 6 double pinwheels

365 Day QAL - Panel 4 - Gray Skies n Roses

I decided to modify  panel 4 design we've been working on for Natalia Bonner's daily ruler quilt along on facebook and Pieceandquilt.com .  Somehow all this rosey pink is just too much  and this quilt is 86 x 96.  I hope someone will love it.  I started it October 13, 2019 and I am glad it's finished.  Most of the delay was wondering what to quilt in the border and hand stitching the binding.

Since it's so large and the church building is closed,  I couldn't get a good photo. The pink really is softer looking in person than what you see in the photo.  Every square has a different ruler work quilting design.




and here is a pic of part of the back,  I love looking at the back to see all the quilting.  Rosie is wondering what this thing is covering her sofa pillow.

365 Ruler Quilt BLock A Day - Panel 6

This quilt along is being offered by Natalia Bonner of piecenquilt.com, offered on facebook and her blog.  This is Panel 6 ....... one more to go. I added a couple borders. The outer border is race cars and I had enough of the fabric to use for the backing too.  It finished at 57 by 65, a nice size for a young boy
