Bear Hugs 7 & 8 and Starburst Center Baby Quilt

 I've tried to have a productive week while working around appointments.  I started piecing my Crimson Christmas kit designed by Krista Moser.  You can get it  HERE .  I cut and pieced through steps 1-6 & 12.  She has helpful videos on a private group which she will close after one year....come October.

Since I have so many photos today, I kept them on the smaller size.  You can click on any photo to get a larger pic.

Then I moved on to donation projects.  These bear hugs # 7 & 8 came from the blue scrap bin which was still out from February's RSC.  I was going to put it away but there were several rail fence type sets sewn together for L/E.  I made a few more to complete the sets and made two bear hug quilts.

# 7 is made from 3" finished rails. finished at 17 x 20.  I paired it with a PBS Kids stuffie and free motion quilted a grid using rulers plus a little swirly in the tiny border.  The backing is an adorable fleece print of puppies.

# 8 is made from 4 " finished rails, has a royal blue fleece backing and free motion quilted in a grid using rulers.  This one finishes at 24 x 24 and is paired with an adorable large eyes stuffie donated to me by our dear friend, Dee in Nebraska.

Here is my third donation finish this week.  This is a topper donated by Cindy Weber of Indiana.  It measures 36 x 36 so it will go to the Foster Child Ministry in our area which serves 6 counties.  I also backed this one with that adorable puppy fleece and had great fun free motion quilting different designs in all the borders.  I had to give it a name and didnt know what that center block is called, so I penned it  "Starburst".

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