The 6 quilts in 6 weeks challenge is taking place on the Villa Rosa Design page on Facebook.You can find out about this challenge on this blog post Join the 6 Quilts in 6 Weeks Challenge Today!
Instead of whipping up a new quilt top, this week I went to the flimsy/ufo pile to unveil 3 Honey Bouquet tops and one very large The Lady top all made last year. I started easy and prepared the Honey Bouquet child size top created from my scrap bin of blues. I made 9 blocks, some are oriented 180 degrees and it finished at 45 x 54. I quilted it on my very fancy domestic Janome. I used a very dark navy solid fleece on the back, 80/20 batting and navy Glide thread top and bobbin.

I have a somewhat failed attempt for an experiment sample. I did this because I want to make some lovely quillows. I gathered several videos and pics to explain the process. Too many methods clog my brain and comfuse me; especially how the pillow is placed so it comes up right side out.
So I thought I would make a sample to keep for reference. I started with pink 4 inch fin squares. I made a little quilt sandwich
Then I added the little pillow ( made 1 inch larger than 1/3 of the quilt width aka 5 inches ). I placed it on the back, pocket wrong side up. Then applied the binding.
Fold the long sides into the middle; roll 1/3 of it 3 times; then invert the pocket to wrap around the folded quilt. You guessed it...... there's no way I can wrap the pillow over the quilt.
Just because its pink and its April; I'm linking up with these lovely parties this week. Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

Have you seen the new challenge instigated by Villa Rosa Designs? Look at me getting myself into all this trouble trying to participate in all the challenges. I can't bear to avoid them. You can find out about this challenge on this post Join the 6 Quilts in 6 Weeks Challenge Today! Won't you suffer along with me?
I was hard pressed to get this one done this week with so many errands and appointments in our schedule. Yesterday afternoon I devoted to making the top and today was quilting a binding. I pulled some fat quarters which all had a space theme and added some yardage too. It is very lively. Ha.
I quilted in a cross hatch style to save time this week. It finished at 35 x 45 and will be donated.
Here is the Villa Rosa pattern that I used to make this quilt. You can get your own copy here Search: 2 results found for "cabin fever" – Villa Rosa Designs. I love to get the digital copy because I get it right away but mostly because I can print it out enlarged on a full sheet which makes it easier for me to work from.

The monthly color challenge at Freemotion By The River this month is green. I dug deep into my green scrap bin and began casually sewing like-shapes together and didn't have a real plan. Then it was time to make something from them.
I began in the center with the half square triangles. They didn't inspire me much so I separated them with a thin strip; then framed around that. I had to stripset pairs which I used to build up the width. I really was thinking this one is so ugly; then I added the light print top and bottom. It has grown on me now Sewing with your little scraps takes alot of time and makes alot of mess.
I pulled a couple leftover chunks from that bin to make the back too. Don't look too closely at the free motion quilting. I was trying to work with the Every Wave template by Amanda Murphy, I might have done better if I made some registration lines or watched a video. I eventually scrapped the template and quilted widely spaced wiggly lines.

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.
