I also quilted up the latest Lil Bear Hug quilt top made of purple and yellow potato chips a couple weeks ago. I quilted around in a circle at 2 inches apart.

This is a panel by Angela Walters of Quilting is My Therapy. The border is also printed like a panel, you cut apart and sew it to the center. She does a free quilt challenge twice a year. She designs a panel around her lessons and teaches free motion and ruler quilting designs.
This challenge is titled Arcs, Curves & Points. I assembled the border and pin basted in December 2025 in order to be ready for Angela's class in January. Of course, I NEVER manage to get to the challenge when she first releases the videos. I pushed thru my quilting on this now because I needed to clear the decks for 2 other large quilting projects.
I am not fond of this panel because it is too much dark. I will not hesitate to give it away. So in the larger open background areas I just stippled around the other motifs to get it done and off my list. I quilted it on my Janome sit-down with glide threads. It has 80/20 batting and Queens Garden Royal Blue backing. It finished at 66 x 76 .

This week had alot of commitments scheduled and so I only had Friday to sew with the yellow scraps. I made 2 granny square blocks. I had to select and cut the units first which takes time when you're trying to create a pleasing contrast.
There is something about this block in that no matter how I approach the assembly, I always get lost. My best way seems to be laying out the entire block and sewing the diagonal rows. I try to keep with the chain sewing and somewhere along the way, I have to unpick units. I love the look of this block but it is not one I will be making alot of. I think I have 7 now ... not enough to make up a quilt yet.

My goodness it does take some time to cut your chips from the scrapbins..... much longer than it took to sew them together. Following along with Soscrappys Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC), I cut from the yellow and purple bins. What a treat to get the colors for Aug and Sept and look how these two colors play so well together.
This lil quilt is made from 2-1/2 x 4-1/2 " chips. I only made 4 blocks. I hope to finish it up this week. Looking up close, I really didnt like it and tried to analyze what I didnt like about it. Was there too many different fabrics or were there too many light, med and darks? Maybe the yellows should have been a softer tone or just one or two fabrics.? Maybe the purples should just be med and darks? If I stand back far enough, I like it.

I received a box of baby size quilt tops from Valerie of ME via Heartstrings Group. I paired a lovely piece of matching purple print by Tula Pink for the back . This baby quilt will be donated to The Hope Center which provides medical services for new moms-to-be.
I free motion quilted using a template by Amanda Murphy. I think she called it a petal which I rotated around to make this quilting design. I think it looks pretty on this quilt.

It was definitely time to whip up some more lil bear hug quilts to wrap around stuffies for giving to children. This project was started last year by Mary of MaryQuilts.com. A few of us thought it a great project and continuing it for a long term mission.
Following along with the RSC color of the month in aqua, I used yesterday to sew and quilt 2 lil bear hug quilts. Several years ago I used RSC to make a collection of Scrap Snap blocks offered by Quiltsforthemaking.blogspot.com . This was in 2020. The collection got stored in a box along with several other blocks, all of which I'm now calling a parts dept.
when aqua was called, I pulled out those aqua snap blocks and orange snap blocks for an accent. I used them to make 9 patch centers and added assorted borders cut from the scrap bins. They both finished at 21 x 24 inches and will be used to wrap up stuffies for children.

I received a box of baby size quilt tops from Valerie of ME via Heartstrings Group. I paired a lovely piece of matching aqua print by Riley Blake Designs for the back which looks more blue in the photo but it really is a nice sea green teal matching the front.
