JBigg's Scrap Pieces: March 2023

Our quilt guild Mystery Quilt continues with Block 3 for February.

Block 3 - Juneau

Flying Geese

Other February Finishes:

We planned a trip in February to visit friends in San Diego so I needed a gift to take my longtime friend, Debbie Hill. The two designs on the pillow were from my Baby Lock Solaris machine.

My version of Love Blooms, pattern by Jillily Studio.

I gave you a peek at this project in January and now it is complete. It was my first attempt at free motion quilting on a plain white background fabric so for every good stitch, there are lots of not-so-good stiches. But I figured I just had to dive in and give it a try.

I did some free motion on my Tiger throws and Starry Night throw, but it was free motion around the designs on the panels. So I am very much a novice at free motion but hope to keep improving.

I have my Love Blooms quilt hanging in my sewing room along with a couple other heart wall hangings I have made over the past few years.

Paper Pieced Hearts Mini Quilt

I stitched a small paper piecing project that The Seasoned Quilter featured on her blog.

I haven't done much paper piecing, so I appreciated this easy pattern. I stitched four hearts, sewed them together, added boarders, quilted the four hearts in the hoop, then used a continuous boarder option on my Baby Lock Solaris.
