My February goal was to machine quilt the baby quilt my friend made which I completed. I was very pleased with how it came out and she is nearly done handsewing the binding which she made from scraps of the fabrics used in the pinwheel blocks. It is adorable!Cheater panel ready to quilt

My #onemonthlygoal for October was to finish my blue string quilt which I did. This was finish #5/7 for my by-the-end of 2021 finishing goals. This was string-pieced on muslin foundations and came entirely from my scrap collection. It was originally going to be just blues with a little black and purple but I didn't think it had enough visual interest so I added the red squares to some of the blocks. A friend who saw it said it reminded her of Gee's Bend quilts which I didn't think about when I did it, but I ...

Pinwheel Quilt - Done! |
My #onemonthlygoal for November is to finish piecing the top of the pinwheel baby quilt I am making for a friend of my sister's. All 61 pinwheels are pieced and the rows are assembled so I need to put the rows together and figure out a border. I also need to find backing. All the pinwheels are from my scrap baskets and there are only a handful of duplicates. Linking up with Oh Scrap! as well as OMG. read more
My #onemonthlygoal this month was to finish one of the scrappy baby quilts I had in progress. Mission accomplished! I used one of the machine quilting designs that I tried out earlier in the fall and was happy with how it came out. I should have made my lines farther apart though because this took way longer than it should have and didn't really need quite so much quilting. I will know better next time. This quilt was made totally from my stash, mostly scraps, so I am linking it up with Oh Scrap!

My #onemonthlygoal for September was to finish quilting my purple scrappy Irish chain quilt which I did. It did it in 3 sections which makes it easier to deal with on my sewing machine, but means there is extra binding to sew. I finished the quilting and the binding strips down the back. It is trimmed and ready to put the binding around the edges. All quilted!
Since this quilt was made entirely from scraps I am linking up with Oh Scrap!
