Here are my 2 final finishes for May. I needed a baby quilt done quickly. Since I am in the midst of so many projects, I decided to quilt up a sweet panel. I know it feels like cheating. I didn't feel like free motion quilting around all the elements in the panel, so I walking foot quilted in 3 different directions. I used a light gray Omni thread on the top and bottom line silver on the back, which actually sinks into the fleece backing. I used a cute green with polka dots print for the binding. It measures 34 x 42. It is sweet and makes me smile.
I also finished a kit from Shabby Fabrics. It is the paper pieced project for May. It was alot of smaller sections to join together, but the kit was very well organized making it easy. They gave you plenty of fabric. The fabric for the binding was very plentiful and I used some of it to insert a smaller accent border between the piece and the final border.
I took more time free motion quilting this one. Did not use any rulers, but just let the shapes dictate what I wanted to stitch in them. I used 4 different colors of Glide threads. It measures 12-1/2 x 28 .

What a sweet baby quilt! I love it and it makes me smile too! Quilting a panel is not cheating, and you did it beautifully. I love your floral runner too, great idea about the double border, it makes the blocks pop up.

Beautiful wall hanging! I made the Easter one from Shabby Fabrics, and they do have generous pieces of fabrics in those kits. I was so tempted to order this spring wall hanging because it's especially cute.
