Stars and a Scooter

Continuing with a blast from the past-my blue/mauve collection left from the 90's.  While digging through my bin of blue and mauve's I found 18 star blocks all pieced, I added 6 more and some sashings. And why not use more of those fabrics for a piano key border and a pieced back!  Even if these are not current colors I think it turned out really cute! 

I decided to keep the quilting simple with just a large stipple so I can get this out the door to Project Linus.

And here comes the Scooter- A free pattern by Lindsey Weight at Fort Worth Fabric.  What a fun quick quilt to make up for baby!  This is the first done of the three I have pieced lately.  You could make this totally scrappy or a little scrappy(which is what I did). 

When it came time to take pictures, I mentioned to DH that I needed to come up with better ways to take pictures instead of just throwing the quilts on the deck or ground/snow.  He said how about the bright orange grandson's sled. Wow it worked perfectly for color!

An allover freehand flower complimented the orange outside border fabric.

Finally the sun came out for a couple moments, I grabbed my quilt, camera and jacket and hopped out into the snow just for you!!  Well for you to see another goal that I have accomplished that is.

This weekend I decided it was time to just get this one on the frame, do my easy allover hook swirl that I love doing, and get it off the frame. And that is exactly what happened in about 1 1/2 hours, then Monday I got the binding on and was waiting all week for the sunshine!  This is my 5th goal met for my first quarter of 2016 FAL

You can't see much of the quilting on top but the bottom is yummy!  I used a thicker yellow fleece and no batting for this quilt. Glide gray thread on top. By now you might have guessed Glide is my favorite thread to use.

And on to the next project(s) quilting table runners and piecing some other runners too. Have to vary my activities so I don't get bored, LOL

Will be linking to the FAL at the end of the quarter.  I am so happy I only have 2 more quilts to quilt and bind by the end of March in order to meet all 5 of my goals I set. But, of course, you know I work on more things than that during the quarter!!

There are a few more linky parties happening so think I will join them, NTT, Whoop Whoop.  You can find the links on my left side bar.

Have a great weekend doing whatever you choose to do.
