K.I.S.S. ..... Keep It Simple Silly !!! A theory I constantly forget ! This is my 2nd project in the Ohio Star Series Challenge. It is the center only, 45 x 63. I have a couple of complimenting borders planned for it before it's finished. Yesterday, A quilting buddy helped me tremendously with the layout. I love it. I was trying to make it balance and blend, but getting confused along the way.
I am calling this project "Autumn Splendor". Most of the fabrics have flecks of gold (my favorite) in it and it sparkles. The applique blocks are cut by accuquilt dies, fused and top stitched. In fact, the entire top was cut by accuquilt. It was so fun. When I quilt this project, I will use a poly batting and ditch around the shapes so they puff nicely.
I'm linking up with these great sites this week. Be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

I am double-dipping my project challenges this week. I am in a monthly table runner challenge.
I am also in a 'Series' challenge on the Stashbusters group. I chose 2 challenges to focus on this year -- one is designs using the 'chisel' shape and the other is the Ohio Star series. I will work with the Ohio Star Series first, hoping to keep sane.
So this is my table scraps challenge for the month of May - a patriotic table runner. I must confess I got the inspiration from this site A Summer Runner and Sew Sampler 2021 | Cluck Cluck Sew .
I got carried away with the quilting -- quilted 8-point stars in every square with a large one over the ohio star . A quick quilting of waves in the striped areas. It finished at 18" x 54" ; a large tablerunner or to hang on a door.
This weekend I'm linking up with Joy of The Joyful Quilter for her Table Scraps Monthly challenge; Angela of Soscrappy and Cynthia for Oh Scrap .

I got my 5 scrappy red blocks done for this month, which inspired me to also make a R/W/B tablerunner . If I quilt it in time, I will share it next week.
This weeks blocks ....................
Since they're on pointe, this years blocks may make a pretty large quilt, so far I'm keeping up (if we don't count previous years projects).

I gave up creating a name for every quilt. When there are several quilts in the same category, I just give it a category name, the year and number in that series; i.e. quilts 4 kids 21-3. This quilt was made from a kit I cut in late winter of 2019 or 2018.? I've lost track now.
21-3 Rail fence is red, pink and yellow rails and measures 45 x 56. It is free motion quilted with scallop flowers. Angela Walters calls it the Flower Meander
I backed it with a peach and gray fleece. It also has a thin cotton batting between the layers.

Mary Johnson of the Heartstrings group sparked everyone's interest with a 3 Yard Quilt Challenge. They are quick and easy and you can't stop at just one. Our challenge mission will run through June.
You can explore more about the 3 Yard Quilts with it's originator, Donna Robertson over at Fabric Cafe. Donna also has a you.tube channel where she demonstrates her patterns and fabric bundles every Tuesday and Thursday.
Here are my first 3 - 3 yard quilts so far. I have another flimsy made, which is not quilted yet.

These all measure 42 x 56 and are backed with a fleece print. It was a struggle free motion quilting on the sit down machine. I fmq the first two but the fleece seemed to drag on the table surface. The 3rd quilt was quilted with the walking foot on my Janome.
