Dino 2

 I used the remaining border strip panel of dinosaurs; added more pieced rows and made up this toddler size play quilt.  I shared the flimsy in an earlier post,  now it is quilted and bound and ready for gifting.  It finished at 46 x 55.  I quilted it with aqua Glide thread on top and navy in the bobbin.  The backing is a solid navy fleece.

Plum Pudding - Part 1

 This was the week I should have been machine quilting,  SO,  I started a new quilt that was on my bucket list!  Obviously, I need supervision.

This project is the 2023 Summer Mystery created by Deb of Grid Girls on facebook.  I actually have at least 3 different border style prints to design around with this pattern.  It is no longer free but you can still find it  at  Row-Deo as PDF download (debscatsnquilts.com)

I cannot tell you how many afternoons it took me to make these 56 units of pineapple-style blocks!  Seems like I was always trimming or re-cutting.  I will definitely choose a different block for my next version of this pattern.  I used the mini square up slotted ruler by GE Quilt Designs and they trimmed up perfectly.  The ruler doesn't move or allow the block to move while you're trimming.

These are inside shots of my rows made so far.  I think the hardest part is behind me. (as I laugh at myself).  The colors are a bit brighter than it looks in the photos.  I subscribe to GEQuilt Designs monthly Goody's Color Club of blender collections. As it turns out, there were 2 collections that went perfectly with this border panel. the dusty pinks and the plums.  It's actually 56-1/2" wide

3YD Lima2

 This little quilt was inspired by Material Girlfriends prompt as shared   HERE.  This was the post for April 15.  Actually I got over zealous and sewed a twin size yellow scrappy version which still needs pin basting and quilted.

After fussing with the scrappy version, I wanted to see how quick the project would be using only 3 fabrics.  Yep, lots quicker of course.  This one finished at 46 x 55.  I quilted with a pink shade of Glide thread doing a freehand orange peel allover.  The backing is a pretty flower print fleece.  The kiddos love to cuddle under the fleece.

Charming Rails

 This quilt was started when I wanted to pull something new from my stash to work with and make it quick and colorful.  I used a charm pack and pulled two contrasting fabrics for the rails.  I really like how it turned out.  I quilted it with straight lines.  It finished at 45 x 54.

This photo shows part of the back.  It is a fleece abstract print design which blended so well with all colors from the front

Koby Quilt

 This is a design from GEQuiltDesigns.com.  It was a quilt-along last year.  It was so quick and easy, I vowed to make many......... one of these days.  I made this 60 x 80 quilt and a smaller child quilt from a half yard bundle.  I quilted it with Glide thread.  The quilting is hard to see on all the print fabrics. The smaller quilt was finished and donated last year. The backing is a floral print.

Dino Too - a flimsy

 I have been puttering this week to use up the remainder of a strippy panel fabric of dinosaurs.  I had to make it much bigger, so did alot of colorful piecing for the sections between the panels.  It was only 36 inch wide, so added some side borders too.  It is now 48 x 58.  It won't get pin basted for quilting until next month.

I am now trying to finish up odds and ends and trim and store lots of scrappy leftovers from several projects.  May will be a quilting marathon month for me.

3 yd Lima

 So I got carried away with this block.   The monthly 3yd quilt pattern for this month is "Lima".  You will find it over at  2024 3YD Quilt Series Sew Along - Material Girlfriends.

The RSC color for April is yellow.  So, multi-task it , I made (24 )- 12 inch blocks cut from the yellow scrap bin. I will add a couple borders to bring it to a twin size for the foster child mission at church.  There should be enough yellow here to bring some sunshine to a child.

After spending an entire day cutting from scraps, I was intrigued to see how quickly it would be cut using strip piecing methods and just 3 fabrics and so this pink one is the result of that experiment.  This one is (20) 9-inch blocks. The dark burgandy print looks brown in the photo.

Charlie

 This quilt is the result of February's  3 -yard quilt design at 

                       2024 3YD Quilt Series Sew Along - Material Girlfriends

 I selected fabrics from a collection of an Angela Walters quilt along from days/year? past.  There was enough to make it a twin size, so that was my goal.  I made 35 blocks.  There was a limited amount left of the rose/white design print,  so I put it all in the border with a bit saved aside for center squares of the blocks. The green background fabric is a celery green and not as dark as it looks in the photo. It finished at 66 x 84 and has already been donated to the local foster child mission at our church.

I used a  light gray spiral wide backing and 80/20 batting.  I quilted it with Glide threads of course; navy thread cross stitching in the chain portions and a great blending thread in all the rest, called Lemon Ice. I used  the "Every Leaf " templates by Amanda Murphy to make the flower design in the blocks.  It really went quickly.  I tried  using the every leaf templates to make a horizontal chain design in the flower border (without marking).  That didnt go as well, but the child recipient won't know its not perfect.

Dino Dinosaur

 I stuck with this project until it was finished...a purpose and a deadline always works wonders.  This quilt was pieced with assorted panel parts and more from stash.  It was intended to be a child's throw/play quilt, but I thought it made sense to use up the panels,  and so it turned into a twin bed size - 68 x 85 .   Now I just need to piece together some leftovers to make pillowcases.

The backing is an aqua wideback fabric and  80/20 batting. I quilted it on my sit-down with Glide aqua thread in top and bobbin.  Oh I did use matching color Glide threads in many parts of the panels. It has a variety of quilting designs; diamond crosshatch in the long panels, straight lines in some divider sections, Stars in some dividers and larger stars in the final border.  The dinosaur blocks were stitched around the elements with stippling in the backgrounds.
