It seems as I pulled the bulk of my orange fabrics for RSC, I was in a quick strippies sort of mood. My oranges needed another pop of color, so I added a deep purple.
First up is this 2 hour - 5 fat quarter baby quilt. It really does take only 2 hours and it's so cute. Here is the free pattern if you want to make your own 2 hour baby quilt ,,,,,
Two Hour Baby Quilt Tutorial – Storied Quilts
I pulled my unusual fq for this set, it looks a bit like fall, but it will make a nice stroller/car seat throw at 36 x 40.

I started out planning lots of quick quilts using orange, printed some plans; then cut the parts to one which should be quick to assemble........... but got sidetracked.
So I am sharing these recently prepared split 9 patch blocks which are part of a donation to a guild in Calif for the LA fires. Each split 9 patch block is 12 inches, so the 4-block arrangements are actually 24" each. Some quilting gals helped me sew 40 blocks. There are sets of orange, purple, blue & green.

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 .
