Mystery Block 3 and February Finishes

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.

Binding and a sleeve were added to make a mini wall hanging.

Here's a peak at what's happening in my sewing room that I hope to finish in March.

Stop back later to see if I get this new project finished. See ya next time and happy quilting - Judy.

Mystery Quilt and January Finishes

Our local Quilt Lovers of Murray, KY, started a Mystery Quilt in January. We made two blocks in January that I can share with you.

Block 1 - Gold Rush

I decided to make the 12-inch block size.

Working on the first block.

My fabrics are from the Riley Blake Quilt Fair Collection. I decided to use the blues, pinks, and greens from the collection.

Block 2 - Kansas Star

Valentine Mug Rug for a friend's birthday.

I have Block 3 of the Mystery Quilt finished but it will be featured in my February finishes.

I'll give you a peek at an applique project that I'll finish in February too.

There you have it, and now you know what's been going on in my sewing room. Take care and happy sewing and quilting - Judy.
