A Quilters Cove - Red Ranch House # 3

A Quilters Cove is meeting up again today. You will find the link up with Andree over at Quilting & Learning, What a Combo. Be sure to visit there to see our house quilt blocks and link up if you are inspired to do so.

This months RSC color for March is Red. I looked thru my red scraps; wasn't very inspired, so I postponed my creativity .......... all month long it seems. Then this past week I remembered.... I had 2 other scrap baskets of reds left from other projects which was stashed in another room.

After I toiled thru 6 appts this week and finished my easter wallhanging panel "Risen"; I set my mind to the March house block. This block is a big 9" x 18". My house quilt layout contains blocks of assorted sizes. My applique is not very professional; so thankfully, this project is meant to have a touch of whimsy.

Along with Andree of Quilting Learning Combo, I'm also joining these lovely linky parties this week. Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

2026 SAHRR - An Extra Round 7

The grand display for the 2026 Stay At Home Round Robin begins next Wednesday, March 25th. The show will be held at Quilting Gail | A scrappy quilter and not a perfect quilter.

My 2026 SAHRR project went above and beyond or better said as 'overboard' when I added a round 7 to the plan for 2 reaons: 1) there was lots of the fabric collection remaining and 2) my round 6 made the top look unfinished.

So far this year, I've spent much of my wednesday mornings playing with options in EQ for this project. I am not 100% satisfied with my version of round 7, BUT I've reached the point of needing to be finished with the brainwork over it.

So my flimsy now measures 69 x 77. I ran out of background and used a different white on the outermost 2 inch border. This is another bright, happy quilt, like last year's version turned out to be also.

Heartstrings Donations: Val # 5 & Lil BH # 2

This first little baby quilt is a donation thru Heartstrings Group; the top donated by Valerie of Maine and the backing from a quilter friend in Illinois. I quilted with straight lines and binding to finish at 36 x 36. It will go to The Hope Center which is a local organization supporting new-to-be mothers.

This lil bear hug quilt # 02 is the result of a mission began last year also by the Heartstrings Group. We make lil quilts to wrap up a stuffed critter to donate to organizations supporting children in need or times of crisis. I am a bit behind my goal for this year, but hope to get caught up. Last year there were alot of little tops sent to a few of us by members to finish and donate for them.

On behalf of RSC color for March, I made this one in reds. I started out making 4 patches from 3-1/2 inch leftover squares. The back is also red with thin white hearts. This turned out 22 inches square.

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

Open Spaces Challenge

This project is a free motion quilting challenge by Angela Walters from last year. I bought the panel and added the extra border strips which was also printed as a panel. The challenge was to expand your experience with large background or open spaces. The videos are free. You can get the supplies at

LG Negative Spaces Challenge Panel | Quilting Is My Therapy

So quilting large open spaces is not my area of excellence. I seem to be mostly a block by block quilter. I am most comfortable letting shapes guide my quilting design. I forced myself into each quilting session. I wanted to make each area different, so I even did free motion designs that I had avoided in the past due to lack of confidence.

I am fine with how it turned out. Actually, I'm not thrilled about the quilt colors or design of the panel, but wanted to experience the challenge. Maybe it will appeal to the younger set? Most of my quilts are made just for the joy of the process and are happily passed on when finished.

This quilt has very detailed stitching, so many close up photos were necessary. I neglected to photo the back but it is a wide back of red, white & blue. It finished at 64 x 74.
