My tenth H2H finish!

I am so happy to report this is my tenth finish of a H2H quilt!!  Sarah gave me the inspiration to get busy and finish up a bunch of quilts I had started, thanks Sarah for organizing the H2H drive.

This quilt doesn't have a name as I was just playing around in EQ7 and came up with this.

Edited to say-I was informed this was like the Warm Wishes that Quiltmaker magazine published many years ago.

 A little fun flower design using a variegated Star thread in orange and yellow was the perfect combo to compliment the fabrics.   The back needed to be a bit wider, therefore, I added the yellow strip.  To finish it off, I used a bit of each fabric for the binding.

This week is the finish it up linky party at Confessions of a Fabric Addict for all the H2H quilts that we have made. It is sure to be a grand party so don't miss out!!

This quilt is also on my 2nd quarter FAL 2017 list.  I will be linking at She Can Quilt at the end of the quarter.  I only have 3 left to finish this quarter!!  I have been a lean mean quilting machine the past couple months, so happy to have lots out of my closet and passing quilty hugs out to several people!

Last two wiggles-Q2FAL's

These are the last two Wiggle Time quilts that are part of my FAL17 goals.  I feel like I have been a quilting and binding maniac this past month. But it's all good for sure.  These are ones that I have worked on during Sarah's H2H project. These quilts along with several others will be donated in honor of H2H.  

Just a simple dog bone meander made for a quick finish.

The backing is a brushed nylon and using it with a low loft poly batting it is so soft and cuddly.  I had a stripe for the binding in the stash that worked perfectly. 

 I love working with the bright fabrics, but these pastels were so calming for a change. This is another Q2FAL

 The sun is shining so bright today that it made it hard to get good photos!  I used the dong bone meander in the background and the wishbone design in the purple, green, pink and yellow sections.  You should be able to click on the picture for a larger peek;)

How are you doing on your H2H projects?  It's not too late to whip one or two up.

The Wiggle Time pattern can be found at Cynthia's.

Scooter

Whoo hoo, another FAL 2017 finish for second quarter!!  I figure while I am in the mood I better check another off the list😊  There is also the push to finish this up for a donation quilt for H2H.  My H2H donations will go to the local Project Linus. 

 I did a simple stipple allover free hand for the quilting and used a variegated yellow orange Coats and Clark Star thread.  Keeping the quilting simple allows me to get more done. 

The pattern is Scooter which I found free at FortWorth Fabrics.  I did add another row to this quilt. 

I think most of the fabric got used up by piecing the back.  I didn't get a good shot of the binding, but it is the orange checked.

Keeping my post short as I do want to move onto the next one!

I will be linking with FAL at the end of the quarter.  You can find my 2nd quarter goal list Here.

The Wigglin' Monkeys

I am feeling good about my accomplishments again. I seem to go in streaks of finishing a bunch of things and then just working on lots of things at once and not finishing any.  This Wiggle Time has monkey fabric for the background and the yellow and brown were scraps left from other projects.  

 This design is more elongated than my favorite hook swirl, but is still very fun and quick to do. 

Monkeys are wiggling their way onto the back also.  They will also wiggle their way to Project Linus for the H2H drive.   

This is another of my 2nd quarter goals for FAL, which brings my total done to 4 already!


Last Wednesday a friend came over to help me go through my bin of neutral scraps to make another string quilt sewn on phonebook pages.  Here is her handi work...  As she pressed I had her hang them onto a clothes drying rack.  Now mind you, this didn't even make a teeny dent in my bin!

Here is my 12 blocks I managed to get done after I cut a bunch of different sizes of squares for other projects. 

Here is my total since Wednesday-30 blocks.

A wiggle for H2H

I finished another quilt for my donation for H2H, it is called Wiggle Time. The pattern is by Cynthia. If you have never tried her pattern, you should! I love the ease and quickness of this one. This is also another one knocked off my Q2 list for FAL 2017.  That makes 3 out of 11 done for me-feeling good I am!
So the fabric and the quilting are nothing special, but it is done and it will comfort someone in need.

                          I needed a bit wider backing and so I used up the leftover bits from the front.

Hope everyone is having a productive week!

Super Scrappy for H2H and FAL

When the April color was picked for RSC17, and I learned it was mixed colors, I knew this quilt would be a good one to get finished up and have it serve three purposes this month.  A friend had given me a bag with the print blue squares, with monkeys, polka dots, confetti, and jungle animals all cut. I added yellow to make them into nine patches, red polka dots for sashing and the multi color stripe fabric for a border to pull it all together.

 First purpose was for ScrapHappy Saturday for RSC17

Second purpose was for giving it to H2H  that Sarah has going on right now.  This is my second quilt finished for H2H this year.  You can find the first one HERE.  

                              

Third purpose was to list it as one of my eleven projects to finish up this quarter for FAL 2017.  Yes I feel good about getting a finish so early in the quarter!  This little 45" square quilt needed it's quilting and binding.  An Easy allover water type design made it quick work.

HAPPY EASTER to each and everyone of you!

I am hoping to finish these projects during this 2ns quarter of 2017.  Most of them need quilting and binding.  It might seem like an ambitious list, but broken down, it's only 3 things per month. Doable, right???  But of course, there will be starting of some new projects too.  But still getting these all done will be super and my shelf will be looking closer to empty, LOL
