This week my main focus has been getting the charity baby quilts finished. I have made three but I have enough fleece for 6-7 more. I guess we will have to work on these in our next quilt retreat. I made these with just the backing and no batting. I really like the weight of them and they are quite large so they should be used right up to toddler age.
The first two quilts have a teal for the cornerstone square so I used the teal with the bears for the backing.
I decided I wanted to use the green teddy bear for the backing on this one so I used green for the sashing.
On all the quilts I went with totally scrappy binding and I am pleased with the results.
I used the Pajama Quilters method for the quilting. It was good practice for me on these small quilts.
I have also started another quilt for myself. It is the Smith Mountain Morning from Bonnie Hunter's book "Scraps & Shirttails II".I have started the cutting for totally scrappy just like she did with browns and blues. I have loved this quilt since I first saw it in the book. I have noticed that she teaches this quilt in many workshops. It is beautiful! I will be taking this quilt with me in October to a conference that my husband has in Reno, NV. The last time we went to this conference I put together my tree quilt from Bonnie while he was busy with the conference. I will show pictures later on the progress of this quilt.
Until next week, Happy quilting to everyone!
