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.

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

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.

Lil Bear Hugs 26--4 ,26-5 & 26-6

It was definitely time to whip up some more lil bear hug quilts to wrap around stuffies for giving to children. This project was started last year by Mary of MaryQuilts.com. A few of us thought it a great project and continuing it for a long term mission.

Following along with the RSC color of the month in aqua, I used yesterday to sew and quilt 2 lil bear hug quilts. Several years ago I used RSC to make a collection of Scrap Snap blocks offered by Quiltsforthemaking.blogspot.com . This was in 2020. The collection got stored in a box along with several other blocks, all of which I'm now calling a parts dept.

when aqua was called, I pulled out those aqua snap blocks and orange snap blocks for an accent. I used them to make 9 patch centers and added assorted borders cut from the scrap bins. They both finished at 21 x 24 inches and will be used to wrap up stuffies for children.

Lil Bear Hug # 4 was made with potato chip units I had cut over time from scraps. I need to do mots more scrap cutting! Always behind as they gather up so quickly..
