Chips Ahoy! Lil Bear Hug 26- 7

 My goodness it does take some time to cut your chips from the scrapbins..... much longer than it took to sew them together.  Following along with Soscrappys Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC), I cut from the yellow and purple bins.  What a treat to get the colors for Aug and Sept and look how these two colors play so well together.

This lil quilt is made from 2-1/2 x 4-1/2 " chips.  I only made 4 blocks.  I hope to finish it up this week.  Looking up close, I really didnt like it and tried to analyze what I didnt like about it.  Was there too many different fabrics or were there too many light, med and darks?  Maybe the yellows should have been a softer tone or just one or two fabrics.?  Maybe the purples should just be med and darks?  If I stand back far enough, I like it.

Wishing you a happy and creative week.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

A Quilters Cove - Aqua for July

 


The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color at Soscrappy for July was Aqua.  I just managed to finish my block this week.


We are linking up our Quilters Cove blocks on the last Saturday of each month with Andree at 

Please be sure to visit Andree to link up your Quilters Cove house blocks and to see what others are sharing too.  You can also find the links to all previous posts and linky parties for the Quilters Cove quilt along on the Quilters Cove QAL page   Scrapbox Quilts: A Quilters Cove QAL

I also want to share my paper piecing blocks made in July.  I don't have a final plan for them yet, but continue to make a variety.  Paper piecing is such a perfect use for those wee little scraps, which I can't bear to toss out.

Heartstrings Donation # 7 from Valerie Osborne

  I received a box of baby size quilt tops from Valerie of ME via Heartstrings Group.  I paired a lovely piece of matching purple print by Tula Pink for the back .  This baby quilt will be donated to The Hope Center which provides medical services for new moms-to-be.

I free motion quilted using a  template by Amanda Murphy.  I think she called it a petal which I rotated around to make this quilting design.  I think it looks pretty on this quilt.
