I have been sick with pnemonia for several months, so time spent in the sewing room was very sparse. I'm trying to move forward as life can pass you by very quickly.
This quilt was cut as a kit last December 2021 making a nice little package to grab for a church sew day. It finished at 44 x 54. I cut the squares as rectangles to avoid being a square quilt. I didn't want to quilt thru the white strips, so I had alot of starts and stops. New plan next time, leave the white strips for the outer border only.
It has a layer of cotton batting and a printed fleece on the back, quilted with silver glide thread on the top and bottom line in the bottom.

With the RSC color of the month for June, I cut these pieces from the scrap bin; 90 pieces of blues and 30 lime pieces for the steps. The blocks are 9 inches finished and the quilt measures 45 x 54. I quilted it 'just enough' and it is cuddly and warm.
I used a cotton batting in the middle and backed with a printed fleece. It is quilted with lime green thread. I pulled all my lengthy leftover blue 2-1/2 inch wide strips and joined for a scrappy binding too. Fun and simple, I need those projects between my more complicated creations.

I've been working weekly on this project created by Marjorie Busby of Accuquilt Qube Quilts facebook group. Only 2 weeks to go, then I can figure out my finishing plans; additional borders or spaces or ???
My photo was taken indoors with a light on and my camera likes to turn the teal fabrics into a harsh blue. I hope to get a nice photo outside once the top is all together. I have used a dark green, yellow gold, scrappy teals and white with gold speckles.
So this is what I have to share this week..........

I cut this quilt kit last December during a cutting spree. Obviously it was quick to sew together, a bunch longer to quilt when you fuss like I do. It is 46 x 58 I quilted it with a blue Glide thread and white bottom line thread in the bobbin.
It has a nice layer of cotton batting and backed with a fleece print.

I whipped up a stepper quilt of blues, with a lime green trail. The quilt pattern is by Liz Broussard, a Stashbuster friend. The photo is not great as had to take it indoors. I cut all the blues from the scrap bin with a gocutter die. The lime green was quickly cut from a wide strip.
It has 30 blocks and measures 45 x 54. I should get it pin basted at church sew day next week. I think it will be a quick quilting plan with lime thread.

I've started AND finished a baby quilt this past week. It took too long to quilt because I free motion quilted block by block style. This design just didn't seem to call for an all over quilting pattern. I quilt freehand on a Janome sit down.
The pattern is called Step by Step created by theirishquilter.com I adjusted sizes of elements to finish at my desired size of 46 x 58. It has a nice cotton batting, fleece print backing and quilted with pink aurifil thread. I was trying to use it up as aurifil doesnt seem to be my favorite brand of thread. Sorry, I know it is VERY popular amoung most quilters.
This photo was taken before the laundry, so all the ripples have turned into a lovely, soft flowing quilt.
I'm glad for a finish this week and happy to join all these lovely linky parties. Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing this week.

This quilt is a result of the Phoenix QAL last year from GE Quilt Designs. I made it from a batik fat quarter collection plus a few extras from my stash. It measures 55 x 78.
I quilted it on my Janome Versa sit-down with cream Glide thread on top and cream Bottom Line in the bobbin. I used the Westelee Circles on Quilts template to quilt the baptist fan design allover. It has a thick poly batting and this pretty flower print on the back.

I quilted the 2 tops shared last week for Hands 2 Help program and this week I'm quilting on the Phoenix top made last year with GE Quilt Designs quilt along. That quilt is a lap size and will also go for Hands 2 Help.
This one is the 2nd quilt made on behalf of Hands2Help. The first was the red and pink 3-part triangle quilt and free pattern shared HERE . Quilt # 2 is a Grandmas Goodness pattern from GE Quilt Designs; so easy and fun to make. I adjustment the measurements to accommodate my favorite child size of 46 x 58.
It has a cotton batting and a fun sporty fleece print on the back
