Charity Quilts

Our guild is collecting baby quilts for Our Lady of Grace.  The quilts will go to pregnant or parenting teens.  I had some left over fabric from Leah’s Quilt so I decided to make a baby girl quilt.  I love the colours…they look so girly and feminine.  I went a little overboard with the quilting, what else is new, but hopefully whoever gets it will like it.  This quilt is also my second FAL finish for the 4th quarter and my November ALYoF goal.

When it was finished I decided that I needed to make one for a baby boy too. I raided my stash and came up with this version:

Leah’s Quilt

Now that I have given this quilt as a gift I can post pictures of it.  It is my Oct ALYoF Goal and my first finish for the final quarter of the 2015 Finish-a-Long.

This summer Erin married her sweetheart Paul.  Paul’s sister Sue just had a baby girl.  She is the first grandchild in their family.  In honour of the birth of Leah and the joining of our families I made her this baby quilt.

I used a stylized feather in the lighter triangles to push them into the background and have the brighter triangles pop forward.
Leah2
I used trapunto to make the hearts pop and then did a dense quilting in the background to enhance their 3d effect even more.

I like the back of this quilt. I used some left over HST blocks and a few 5 inch squares. You can really see the free motion quilting on the back.

Q4 Finish-a-long Wish List

It is time to compile my list of works-in-progress that I hope to finish in the final quarter of the 2015 Finish-a-long hosted by Adrianne at On The Windy Side.  I’ve got 3 projects:

I’ve got a HST quilt in progress.  It is a surprise so I can’t show too much of it.

These are some of the blocks that I have made for my series of Leftover’s Quilts.  This will be the 6th one.

I’ve got a few dozen left over 5″ squares and a handful of HSTs from the first WIP on my list that I plan to piece into a new quilt.
