Lil Bear Hugs 26--4 ,26-5 & 26-6

 It was definitely time to whip up some more lil bear hug quilts to wrap around  stuffies for giving to children.  This project was started last year by Mary of MaryQuilts.com.  A few of us thought it a great project and continuing it for a long term mission.

Following along with the RSC color of the month in aqua, I used yesterday to sew and quilt 2 lil bear hug quilts.  Several years ago I used RSC to make a collection of Scrap Snap blocks offered by Quiltsforthemaking.blogspot.com .  This was in 2020.  The collection got stored in a box along with several other blocks, all of which I'm now calling a parts dept.

when aqua was called, I pulled out those aqua snap blocks and orange snap blocks for an accent.  I used them to make 9 patch centers and added assorted borders cut from the scrap bins.  They both finished at 21 x 24 inches and will be used to wrap up stuffies for children.

Lil Bear Hug # 4 was made with potato chip units I had cut over time from scraps.  I need to do mots more scrap cutting!  Always behind as they gather up so quickly..

  4. Hi Kat, those are such cute quilt! I love you parts department! I don't have many orphan blocks, so no department but it would be fun to make a few extra blocks, just to play. I hope that you'll like up to I Quilted This! Take care.
