Bear Hugs # 3

 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.



and finally  here is Bear Hug # 3  all ready for gifting.



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

  1. 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!

  3. Great 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.
