Country Bumpkin

 I needed a baby quilt for a special family member who is having her first.  She has a hobby farm and wanted to go with farm theme.  I found this kit at my LQS .  It was so charming with the red gingham and tho it was a bit oversized and overpriced, I got it anyway.  It is all finished for gifting tomorrow.

It measures 54 x 66.  I quilted various grids in the squares using a cream Omni thread and Bottom Line in the bobbin.  I added some circles and squares in the outermost border.

A pretty green Riley Blake print on the back.

A Quilters Cove - October Tans

 

Greeting friends !   It's time for October's Quilters Cove block.  I made it in tans with rusty-brown accents.  My Quilters Cove project will extend into next year, mostly because of the smaller accent blocks and surrounding areas in the setting I've planned for.  

I have 2 more months of color.  We never run out of colors.  I think I'll be using grays for one month and browns for the other month.  I love browns, it's one of my 10 favorite colors.

If you would like to visit links to posts from previous months, you can visit THIS PAGE.

It also has links to Andree's linky parties that were posted each month.

and ......  here is my block for October.  I've decided that less detail is okay and I can fill in any bare-looking areas when the top is together.

Log Cabin 1 - a flimsy

 I've been playing with a new-to-me template by Creative Grids for the 6 inch log cabin block. The process went very well but I'm thinking this mix of colors is not working it.  Will have to think more about plan # 2.  This flimsy is 24 inch square and I will quilt it up into a lil bear hug quilt to wrap around a stuffed animal.  It was fun as I worked out of my 1-1/2 inch string bin.

Heartstrings Donation -# 8 by Valerie Osborne

 This string quilt top was one of a box of tops I received, donated thru Heartstrings Group for volunteers to turn into quilts and donate to their local charities.  Most of Valeries tops are baby quilt size. I donate those to The Hope Center which has 3 locations in my area providing medical services for new mothers- to- be.

My camera did not do justice to the lovely purple print which dominated this string quilt.  I used a pretty fleece print on the back and quilted in a circular grid with Glide lavender.
