Phoenix QAL - Quilts 4 Kids

 This is my 4th finish for Hands 2 Help program.  You can click on this link to read all about the program.

https://academicquilter.blogspot.com/p/hands-2-help-2022.html


This quilt is a result of  the Phoenix QAL  last year from GE Quilt Designs.  I made it from a batik fat quarter collection plus a few extras from my stash.  It measures 55 x 78. 


I quilted it on my Janome Versa sit-down with cream Glide thread on top and cream Bottom Line in the bobbin.  I used the Westelee Circles on Quilts template to quilt the baptist fan design allover.  It has a thick poly batting and this pretty flower print on the back.

Quilts 4 Kids for Hands 2 Help

If you are encouraged to participate in the Hands 2 Help program, you can read all about it  HERE 


 I quilted the 2 tops shared last week for Hands 2 Help program and this week I'm quilting on the Phoenix top made last year with GE Quilt Designs quilt along.  That quilt is a lap size and will also go for Hands 2 Help.

This one is the 2nd quilt made on behalf of Hands2Help.  The first was the red and pink 3-part triangle quilt and free pattern shared  HERE  .   Quilt # 2 is a Grandmas Goodness pattern  from GE Quilt Designs;  so easy and fun to make.  I adjustment the measurements to accommodate my favorite child size of 46 x 58.


It has a cotton batting and a fun sporty fleece print on the back





Here is quilt # 3.  This pattern is called  Step by Step by the irish quilter.com.  I also adjusted the measurements to finish at 46 x 58.  The center panel is images of dinosaurs.


Apparently I bought too much of this dinosaur fabric, so I used a big piece for the backing and it also has a cotton batting.  Both quilts were quilted with Omni thread on top and Bottom Line gray in the bobbin.  I used rulers and free motion quilting for both projects.
