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

Like the method of sewing so the final closing step is easy.
Start with a bigger rectangle for a bigger bag. ( shared by our Liz B )
I've taken time to start 2 more comfort quilts for the Hands2Help program. You can read all about the program here ...................
Just getting more tops ready for pin basting at the church this coming Thursday. I haven't decided who to send my quilts to yet as most of them measure approx 46 x 58 and are designed to appeal to the youth.
Here are two more tops nearly flimsy ready and have 2 more planned for the next couple days. That should be 5 happy quilts to donate. Yay!
This pattern is called Grandmas Goodness and is designed by Gudrun Erla of GEQuiltDesigns.com It is so adorable and I plan to make many more of this style. It measures 46 x 58.
This pattern is called Step by Step, designer is theirishquilter.com I think I goofed on the color placement, it is nearly a flimsy You can see it needs trimmed and an outer border then it will also measure 46 x 58.
I see there will be lots of machine quilting to do next week. In the meantime, I'm joining these fun linky parties. Be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing today.

Greetings. Welcome to my blog post in honor of Hands to Help. campaign. I make donation/comfort quilts for gifting all year long. I can't imagine why I've not participated in the Hands 2 Help program before now. Click on this icon to take you to all the information about Hands 2 Help. Please be inspired to also participate.
I use EQ8 and it lets you soar with unlimited design possibilities. Today I'm happy to share with you a quick and easy pattern design. One simple block, 4 colors and you can create your own design simply by rotating the blocks. I have not been able to come up with a catchy name for this design, so I'm sorry to say it is called 3-Part Triangles.
Here is my original version of the 3-Part Triangle quilt. It measures 56 x 56. I used fabrics hoping to appeal to a young teen, pinks and red print. I quilted it with pink aurifil thread.

This project was designed in EQ8. My purpose was to combine January's Birds of Paradise block and February's Snowball block from Natalia Bonner's 2022 quilt along. I have the workbooks with 12 quilting design each, so I needed a playground to stitch them on. You will find Natalia's free quilt along HERE .
Here is my quilt. I just started it in January. It was definitely alot of piecing but accuquilt dies made quick and perfect work for cutting most of my shapes. It looks a bit busy but the fabrics. are lovely and it is so cozy, finishing at 68 x 80. I made a note that it measured 76 x 80 but either I lost 8 inches in one direction from all the quilting or I measured wrong.
It has 100% cotton batting with Kansas Troubles extra wide backing. I quilted it on my Janome Versa QP 18 sit down machine with Glide military gold thread and gray Bottom Line thread in the bobbin..
Here are some close-ups of the quilting with rulers and freehand.
