Doing Some Piecing

     Busy with church and quilt guild events last week I didn't have time for quilting; however, I had some time for easy piecing. I pulled a large print of horses and decided it would be great for a quick 3 yard kids quilt. The pattern is “Fascination”.  All the blocks are sewn and ready to lay out the rows.

     Then I pulled what I thought was a cute fat quarter bundle to make a child's quilt because of the cute foxes. I pieced the simple blocks and put them on my design wall. I think it needs more variety of fabrics. Before I sew these blocks together, I will look for more fabrics to add to the mix.

      I don't expect to get to any quilting this week as I am expecting 2 sisters to visit for most of the week; however, we do have sewing projects planned.

Have a great week and enjoy some time for quilting.

Lap Quilt Finish

     After I finished my Hey June UFO last Thursday, (You can see pictures in Friday's post) I pulled a small lap quilt top pieced by the Cresco ladies of Iowa. I found backing and binding fabrics in my stash. I pieced together some batting scraps and before long the little lap quilt was finished.

It is a nice size for someone in a wheelchair.

     Now I need to pull another UFO top that is waiting to be quilted. It would be wonderful if I could get 2 sandwiched. The quilting might have to wait until next week.

A Couple of Finishes

      I have been on a roll the last couple of weeks doing lots of quilting.  I finished quilting another charity/comfort quilt for my church quilt group.  The top was pieced by Jan and will be bound by Joan.

     Another of my UFO's has finally been completely finished.  I even hand sewed the binding and added a label.  Near the end of the Covid  shut in GE Quilt Design hosted the Hey June QAL  for her pattern "June".  Here is my finished "June".

 

and the FM quilting.

I'm linking up with Alycia's Finished or Not Friday.

Have great weekend.
