Angela of Soscrappy gave us plenty of notice for the RSC challenge that the color for February is blue. I also made a personal challenge this year to make lots of things with rails or bricks AND I joined the Feb & March challenge at Heartstrings making smallish quilts for a bear/stuffed toys donation drive. Funny how a new year makes you think you can take on lots of new challenges.
Here is bear hug # 3 (#2 pink one is not quilted yet). All cut from the blue scrap bin finished at 24" square.
The backing is a royal blue fleece. I always use batting, so I make sure to not quilt it too densely so it stays cuddly. I used a large arc ruler to fmq quilt diagonally over each 4 patch unit and royal blue Glide thread. I purchased some labels to stitch to all the items I make for our church Foster Children Closet.

Lovely baby quilt, and what a fun block arrangements! I love the 4-patches with plain squares too. The label is a great idea, the hospital where I deliver baby quilts asked me to do so too. Thank you for sharing your cute quilt, and congratulations for another finish!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little quilt.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute, Kat! Such a sweet gift for a little one who needs a friend.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of smaller scraps. I like a fast finish and those little quilts are sure to be fast and use up scraps. That quilting is terrific.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of giving a small quilt and a bear! What a great way to use up scraps and play with RSC. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
