Baby Quilts Catch-Up

 I have a few baby size quilts to share - approx 36" x 36".  These will be donated to childrenn's charities.  Actually, the last two are already donated.  This first one, I just finished the binding on this morning.

This first one is a quilt top that was donated by Cindy W. who follows our group Heartstrings.  I FMQ it in a diagonal grid using a straight ruler, Omni thread in cream color and a happy print fleece on the back.


This next one is an adorable cut of fabric donated by Bonnie A.  The fabric was so sweet, I added a couple narrow borders to bring it to 36", then quilted it with serpentine stitch on a diagonal grid and used that fun fleece print again on the back.


Here is a close-up of the fabric print.  It is so sweet !


Lastly, this little quilt was part of a challenge on Stashbusters a couple months ago.  The challenge was to use FQ.  I had a lonely set of 5 FQ in flannel and chose to make a small trip around the world design.  I free motion quilted an orange peel design on the diagonal. (I'm seeing a trend here)  I made the binding from leftover pieces of the FQ.


and here is the back, another cute printed fleece.  Fleece tends to create a drag when trying to free motion, but the kiddos love it,  so I persevere.



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