Heartstrings Donations: Val # 5 & Lil BH # 2

This first little baby quilt is a donation thru Heartstrings Group; the top donated by Valerie of Maine and the backing from a quilter friend in Illinois. I quilted with straight lines and binding to finish at 36 x 36. It will go to The Hope Center which is a local organization supporting new-to-be mothers.

This lil bear hug quilt # 02 is the result of a mission began last year also by the Heartstrings Group. We make lil quilts to wrap up a stuffed critter to donate to organizations supporting children in need or times of crisis. I am a bit behind my goal for this year, but hope to get caught up. Last year there were alot of little tops sent to a few of us by members to finish and donate for them.

On behalf of RSC color for March, I made this one in reds. I started out making 4 patches from 3-1/2 inch leftover squares. The back is also red with thin white hearts. This turned out 22 inches square.

Open Spaces Challenge

This project is a free motion quilting challenge by Angela Walters from last year. I bought the panel and added the extra border strips which was also printed as a panel. The challenge was to expand your experience with large background or open spaces. The videos are free. You can get the supplies at

LG Negative Spaces Challenge Panel | Quilting Is My Therapy

So quilting large open spaces is not my area of excellence. I seem to be mostly a block by block quilter. I am most comfortable letting shapes guide my quilting design. I forced myself into each quilting session. I wanted to make each area different, so I even did free motion designs that I had avoided in the past due to lack of confidence.

I am fine with how it turned out. Actually, I'm not thrilled about the quilt colors or design of the panel, but wanted to experience the challenge. Maybe it will appeal to the younger set? Most of my quilts are made just for the joy of the process and are happily passed on when finished.

This quilt has very detailed stitching, so many close up photos were necessary. I neglected to photo the back but it is a wide back of red, white & blue. It finished at 64 x 74.

Now for Round 6 of the Stay at Home Round Robin project. You will find the prompt for Round 6 offered by AnjaQuilts . She said ' quilters creative choice'; which is a great prompt at this stage in our projects.

I felt my round 5 looked unfinished, so I complicated my round 6 by making the sides different from the top and bottom. In addition, I had specific colors on each wing of the geese BUT as I sewed them, my geese were upside down to add the wings. This made all my colors in the wrong place. I did ALOT of unstitching on this round! My project now measures 51 x 60.

I declare my project STILL looks unfinished, so I am determined to work up a Round 7 with the remaining pieces of this fabric collection.

A Quilters Cove - Green Gables-Block 2

It's time to share my neighborhood house constructed in greens for February's RSC color as hosted by Angela of Soscrappy.

This block will measure 9" x 10-1/2" when sewn into the quilt. I used a blanket stitch around most of the elements and a straight stitch on the small pieces. I love the flowering trees which accent the greens so nicely. Hmmm, no one can enter the house until I remember to install the door handle!

Andree of Quilting & Learning - What a Combo! hosts a linky party on the last Saturday of each month to share our housing projects. Plus, you can find all the links related to our housing project on "A Quilters Cove" page listed at the top HERE .

2026 SAHRR - Round 5

The prompt for Round 5 of this years' Stay at Home Round Robin is offered by Gail over at QuiltingGail.com Round #5 for the 2026 SAHRR | Quilting Gail. Gail suggested using 2 colors in this round. You could use 2 color families plus background, which is what I did because I am working from a half yard bundle collection which now consists of leftover pieces.

I wanted to make this quilt rectangular, so my version of round 5 frames only the top and bottom. I used the golden yellow family, some blue triangles and some background triangles. I also needed to add a coping strip to make my border strip fit. This quilt now measures 48 x 56. My final round will have to be a 4 inch or 8 inch border.

Green Bricks Bear Hug 26-03

I've been on the run every day this week with only stolen time in the sewing room. Since I haven't accomplished anything from the green scrap bin this month, I grabbed partial jelly strips and made some rail fence blocks. I sewed them into pinwheels and had enough for a very large 26 inch little bear hug quilt # 03. I won't get it finished today BUT I am determined to finish it this week.

2026 SAHRR - Round 4

Wendy at Pieceful Thoughts of My Quilting Life is hosting the prompt for Round 4 of the 2026 Stay at Home Round Robin. This week the prompt involves curves. It could be curves in a block or curved applique or even curves in the fabric design.

I definitely put alot of work into this round. I didn't want dresdens or drunkards path blocks because they would be too large for my overall plan, plus I was working with measurements now of 42 inches on each side.

The fabrics are richer than they appear in this indoor photo. I made the arch by using interfacing; leaving the bottom long edge open, turning right side out and topstitching with a blanket stitch onto a 2-1/2 inch background strip which was then added to the center as one border strip each side. I also took this time to top stitch down all the fusible flowers and butterflies. I used a navy shade of Glide thread for all the top stitching. My piece now measures 46 inches square. I will need to choose one of the next 2 prompts to turn this quilt into a rectangle.

Placemat Challenge 26-02,3,4

So I may be sharing my placemat finishes in bunches. In honor of SoScrappy RSC blues for last month, I finished this scrappy spiral placemat.

and the back ............

Connie at Freemotion By The River is also having a monthly color challenge and link-up. This month is reds. I wanted to refresh my memory for making the delectable mountains block, so I used that method for my challenge. I finished binding them yesterday and today they will be used for a hostess gift.

26 SAHRR - Round 3

I am participating in the 2026 Stay at Home Round Robin which is an annual event beginning every January. You can find all the details at Round #2 for the 2026 SAHRR | Quilting Gail

This week is round 3. I had to dig deep into the creative brain cell to think of something this time. After a few sleeps and some trials in EQ, I decided to add a border to create an open area for quilting and a place to rest your eye. Animals was the challenge this week I tried to stay with the floral theme of the fabrics and made some butterfly appliques.

I pieced a 4 inch border with background fabric, added a 1 inch trim of color then put a butterfly in the 4 corners. They are fused but I still need to blanket stitch them down.

I also made 8 more smaller butterflies to try in the remaining open areas of this border. I pinned 2 in place on one side of the border just to see if it would work. If I envision these 8 butterflies going around the border, will it be TOO MUCH ? I think it will be too much but what do YOU THINK?
