Keep It Simple Strippy # 3 - OMG
This is a dual-purpose finish , my UFO challenge for Stashbusters and my One Monthly Goal finish for Elm Street Quilts.
Last year I cut up several kits for the KISS pattern. You can find the free pattern here:
http://sewpreetiquilts.blogspot.com/2016/02/craftsy-sweetens-up-my-life-blog-hop.html
I gave a few kits to the quilt club for mission projects and I have fun making some up too.
I pledged this finish to Elm Street Quilts for One Monthly Goal here:

Here it is ..... I forgot to take a pic of the backing, a fun zig zag pattern on fleece. The border is a navy, which looks black in this photo. I quilted it with ruler foot and straight edge ruler. It has a fluffy poly batt and fleece backing.
Linking up this finish with Patty of Elm Street Quilts for one monthly goal:
Thanks for letting us join in the fun.

KISS #3 - OMG
This little project serves several commitments in one. It qualifies as a UFO because the strips were cut up into a kit before Christmas last year. I need a UFO finish soon as my name is climbing up the challenge list on Stashbusters.
I call this project KISS #3 because it is my third time making this pattern. You will find the free instructions over here at Sew Preeti Quilts. She calls it "Keeping It Simply Strippy". Scroll down the page to find the instructions. It is a quick and painless way to whip up a child quilt top.
http://sewpreetiquilts.blogspot.com/2016/02/craftsy-sweetens-up-my-life-blog-hop.html
Here is my top #3.
Okay, so now I've had this top sandwiched for a few weeks. I need a finish. I'm committing this project as my One Monthly Goal for September. It needs quilted and bound and ready to gift.
One Monthly Goal is a program held by Patty of Elm Street Quilts. I'm participating this month through this link:
http://www.elmstreetquilts.com/2017/09/one-monthly-goal-september-link-up.html
Also linking up with Small Quilts and Doll Quilts for Design Wall Monday.

RSC17 - Blues
I pulled blues from the scrappy bins, a different one for each block. I finally stopped at 22. I did get tired of making this block before I was finished with this batch. This could be why the RSC challenges work for me, only a few blocks at a time, not the entire project at once.
Sunday I'll join the party with Cynthia for Oh Scrap.
Be sure to visit there to see what other quilters are creating with their scraps.
I also made blue crayons for a child quilt ..............
I met my piecing goals for this month I'm happy to get back to machine quilting. Today I'm linking up with the creator of the RSC challenge ........... Angela at Soscrappy.

A Cotton Candy finish
This pretty child quilt is the result of a jelly roll strip tease challenge on Stashbusters yahoo group. Actually I made 4 tops in June because of this challenge. I saw a quilt like this one on Sue Dario's blog. She does fabulous work. I made up my own version here.
I'm calling it Cotton Candy. It finished at 42 x 49. There is a pretty fleece print on the back. I quilted it with westalee rulers; Circles on Quilts ruler for the baptist fan, heart border template on the border and some improv play on the final 2 inch border. Having so much fun with the westalee rulers, I am hooked.
I think I'm stashing this one for a family or friend need... no label until I know where it's going. I'm happy to share this finish with ......................

Scrappy with Stars - RSC13 - UFO finish ..... again
Back in December, 2013, I posted this finish for the RSC13 project I'll call Scrappy Stars. You can see the original post here :
http://scrapboxquilts.blogspot.com/2013/12/scraphappy-saturday-rsc13-finale.html
At that time, I put it through the washer and it came apart at many seams where it was joined quilt-as-you-go style. Unusable as it was, I tossed it in a box (for a few years).
This month I pulled it out of the box to correct the problems and turn it into a real quilt again. I cut apart all the blocks from the joining strips; trimmed them up equal and re-joined them. I used a very dark brown (mink) for the joining strips this time.
Here it is re-assembled, bound and washed again. It survived the laundry this time. It measures 45 x 60.
and here is the back ........................
I'm happy to report a finished UFO this month. I am sharing with my yahoo group friends and joining linky parties at

Crosswalk - OMG finished
In my first post about this quilt HERE, I talked about making tops with pre-cut strips until they ran out. I also used this first one, Crosswalk, as my one monthly goal for June, to be quilted and bound, so it wouldn't sit around for ages unfinished.
I was recently introduced to the 'circles on quilts' templates by Dena Wilkins. She shares lots of photos of her fabulous ruler work at Living Water Quilter. My templates arrived quickly and I set about covering this little quilt in circles, just for practice and fun.
Here is the Crosswalk quilt, 40 x 52, all finished and ready for a child to cuddle under. The circles are 1 inch apart, poly batting, and the quilt is still cuddly after all that quilting.
Here is the view from the back .....................

Crosswalk - a jelly roll OMG
Last month the Stashbusters group offered up a challenge to use some of those jelly rolls you've collected. I am not a collector of precuts, so I set about cutting up jelly roll strips from my stash. I put them all in a basket to wait for the challenge to begin June 1st.
The group is calling this the strip tease. This is my first strip tease top (I've since re-named it "Crosswalk"). The trail of squares remind me of Abbey Road, the crosswalk. Can you picture that crosswalk on their album cover?
I will continue making tops until the strips are all sewn up. I don't want these tops to linger unfinished, so I am offering up this first top as my OMG (one Monthly Goal for June). I hope to have it finished with quilting and binding before June has past.
Here is Crosswalk. It measures 40 x 52.

Charmed Pink D9P
This charm pack and pink accent fabric was part of a gift package I won at the quilt show in April. I thought it would make up nicely into a D9P pattern. As it turns out, the pink was so harsh, I tried to tone it down a bit with white sashing. It turned out 44" x 44".

Over 60's - Green -OMG
The Over 60's embroidered blocks is one of my monthly projects for the RSC17 at Soscrappy. This month's color is green. This weekend I pushed myself to get the block cut and assembled and ready for hand embroidery. There is alot of pieces in this block. That's how it came by the name "Over 60's" as there is that many half square triangles in this block.
I am joining up with Pat of Elm Street Quilts for the OMG-One Monthly Goal challenge for May. My goal is to get the embroidery design stitched in the center. Linking up here:

RSC17 - Reds for March
I spent March getting quilting ready for April's quilt show, which left me no time to work the red scraps. Since April was mixed prints month, I found it a great time to catch up / cut up the reds. I still have a few churn dash blocks to make; otherwise my RSC projects are now red-ready.
Here are 12 (20 triangles blocks). I don't know, does this block have an official name???? Also a red crayon for the child's crayon quilt.
Finally, this is my first row for the row quilt swap project with the guild. Lots of red scraps cut up here... Lots of pieces, but I used the go cutter this time, and it fit together very well.

Over 60's Aqua - OMG finished
My OMG (one monthly goal) for April was to hand embroider the center flower design on this aqua 'over 60's' block. I wrote about it here
and joined up for the OMG for April here
This is my evening stitching, daytime is devoted to machine work. I embroidered thru all 3 layers which serves as part of the quilting too.
I'm linking up with Elm Street Quilts for the One Monthly Goal link-up party here:
Since this is a block for one of my RSC17 projects, I am also linking up Saturday with Soscrappy.
Be sure to visit both of these sites to see what other creative quilters are working on.

My Neighbor's Garden
I can finally share what I've been working on the past month. I have kept it under wraps because it was intended for a quilt club challenge for the quilt show, which took place this past weekend. The challenge was to create a quilt, any size, depicting your vision of 'spring'.
I worked on my vision, one row at a time. As I finished a row, I let it tell me what it wanted next. I was thrilled with how it evolved. It finished at 60 x 70, and most special was that it won the 1st Place ribbon and a very generous gift basket at the show. This show is a small, local show. It is not professionally judged, but is based on viewer's choice voting.
I hate to boast, but I'm so tickled with my first ribbon that I am sharing my joy with these lovely sites this week. Be sure to visit them each day to see what others are sharing too.
