Heartstrings Donation # 6 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 aqua print by Riley Blake Designs for the back which looks more blue in the photo but it really is a nice sea green teal matching the front. 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.

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

A Quilters Cove in RSC - Light Blues

A Quilters Cove this month is in light blues. You can find the RSC aka Rainbow Scrap Challenge over at SoScrappy every Saturday where quilters display whatever they've stitched up with their scraps.

Andree of QuiltingLearningCombo is also joining in and hosting our Linky Party on the last Saturday of each month where we can share our houses of a design variety we each have chosen..

You will find the links to previous months' housing project HERE .

This block will finish at 7-1/2 x 10-1/2 when put into the quilt layout.

I also made some paper pieced houses from the blue scrap bins.

Chips on the Stairs

I'm working on a personal potato chip challenge this summer. I've collected several pics off the internet for inspiration. Over time, I collected a small drawer of potato chip units. This first project was made from totally scrappy chips because one day I decided to just sew them in pairs, willy nilly. However there were not enough for a quilt and it was so scrappy, it lacked continuity.

Then I came across a pic called Return Croche posted on pinterest by Jean Mentzer. I pulled 2 fabrics to use for alternate blocks and was able to get a flimsy 40 x 48. I added a couple borders to bring it up to the size I wanted.
