This project was a free quilt along with Angela Walters, She designed the fabric panel to accommodate the feather designs being taught. I have learned so much from Angela's videos. It is the nudge to do it and she is so easy to follow along. You can find Angela's project posts HERE .
Here are photos of my Fabulous Feathers quilt challenge. I added extra borders and it finished at 59 x 69. It was started November 5, 2021 but waited for an opportunity to pin baste it. I did most of the quilting last month. Some areas don't look great. I wont point them out. I enjoyed the process and that's what counts.

I still haven't given this project a name yet. Here is my progress through Round 4. I combined specs for round 3 and 4 together into one round. This round is 4 - 1/2 inch finished. My next round of applique will be much wider. You can see how other quilters are progressing with their rounds HERE .
I love this project and plan to use this philosophy for designing more often ! Here is my project through round 4 ............. It measures 41-1/2" so far.

This quilt is my rendition of 'Grandmas Goodness' , a pattern by Gudrun Erla of GE Quilt Designs. I adjusted the dimensions to fit the backing I chose. I will make different adjustments next time I cut for this pattern. It was so fun to put together though. The young-happy fabrics also made it a joy. I can see several of these little quilts in my future. It finished at 46 x 58 .
There is cotton batting in the center and this adorable fleece on the back............
I quilted it with gold Omni thread; ditch stitching on all the panel seams and free motion in the open areas. I tried not to over quilt so it will stay cuddley for children. Here is a close-up; arcs in a diamond grid on the larger light areas and straight lines with free style circles in the narrow brown strips.

SAHRR ... Stay at Home Round Robin. I began this project when they first posted the challenge last year. Since they are doing a new version this year, I decided to follow along. This style of project is great encouragement for spreading your wings with techniques and design.

Here is my center with a few rounds from 2021 - 20-1/2 inch square
This month I combined rounds 1 and 2 together into one round. I had some leftover peaky and spike units (half diamonds) from a storm at sea quilt I made a few years ago. I had 4 large (6 inch) drunkard path blocks also leftover from another project. I decided to join them into diamonds and use coping strips to make it all fit into one border.
Here is my project now. it measures 32-1/2 inches square.

This is a cute strippie - the fabric does all the work this time. It finished at 45 x 51. I backed it with a fleece and cotton batting. I quilted it with straight lines on my Janome. I dont have a pattern to share. I put it together from a image on the internet, adjusting sizes to suit my backing fabric.

I just finished this quilt. It is from a 3 yard quilt design called " Dash ". My version finished at 42 x 53. It has cotton batting and a soft gray fleece on the back. I used the blocks for areas to sample feather designs. I quilted it on my Janome sit down machine. I will donate this one to the Heritage of Huntington nursing home.

I just finished these pretty little mats. They measure about 16 inches across. Binding 60 degree mitres for the hexagon shape is a nuisance on small items.
I used the gocutter dies for the half circles, eyes, carrot nose and snowflake. I winged it for the background shape to work on. Actually I sized a hexagon template in EQ, printed it out, folded the printout in half and folded my fabric strip in half. Then I used a ruler to cut the side angles following the paper template. Thank goodness for tools of the trade!
They're not gifted yet. I'm waiting for someone to mention that they like them. LOL
