Boo To You Halloween #4

Oh!  Surprised me that step # 4 would be a medallion!  Love the design and placement of the orange and black.  The center radiates!

Glad I saved the spider web fabric for the last step, so pleased that the fabric was a small print. Looking forward to the assembly of the quilt top.  How will it fit altogether?

Next post will have the top revealed! 

Boo To You Halloween Mystery #3

BOO the third step to the Mystery quilt was flying geese!   I made 24 black and white flying geese blocks.

Each of the flying geese measure 3" X  5 ".  Easy to make and used more of the black fabric from my stash.

In making a flying geese block you trim the corners so that 1/4th inch seam is allowed. I  sewed another seam and made half square blocks that measure 2".

Now I have a big pile of black and white half squares to use in another project. Yeah! One more step to the completion of the blocks for Boo To You Mystery.

BOO for You Mystery Step #2

Step Two: Construct ten pumpkins, five orange and five black.  Ten Pumpkins completed!  Five 4 3/4" orange pumpkins

Five 4 3/4" black pumpkins.

Black pumpkins would not have been my choice. I did change it up a bit.  The pattern had the black pumpkins out of black fabric that had really small print and they all appeared similar.  That is not my style, I chose print fabrics that showed some texture.  The pumpkin stems were to be solid black but I thought checkered fabric added some whimsy!

So when all the pumpkins were completed I now like the black pumpkins best!  Can't wait until Wednesday for the next clue.

BOO to You Mystery Quilt

Today I spent some time completing the first step of the Boo to You Mystery Quilt by FORT WORTH FABRIC STUDIO -- DESIGNED BY: LINDSEY WEIGHT.  I know, I have projects that are not completed and starting another is just a bit silly.  But I just needed some fall sewing today.  Can't wait to celebrate fall and all it's glory!

Using the fabric from the fall bin, I made the first step.  Too simple not to do this block.  A bit of a frown on my face when I saw blocks at 2 1/8 inch squares.  Not Crazy about 1/8ths, but since there were only 10 blocks in the first step I decided to join this mystery.

Step one completed.. Next step tomorrow afternoon - Pumpkins YEAH!

Patriotic Table Runner

I love making table toppers and table runners.  This 54" table runner was given to my granddaughter for her birthday!  This table runner will fit her table perfectly, my table not so much.  Stef loves Americana, anything Red, White and Blue.

I do love any project that appears scrappy!  Each block is red, white and blue but the blocks contain different fabrics. My favorite block  is the one on the right with the polka dots.  I always attempt to have polka dots in any quilting project I make.  Just adds some happiness to the project. 

Third and Final Donation

This blue and white Strip Stack quilt is my final donation to Blue Line Kids HALO group.  It was made by a batik jelly roll.  This G. E Design quilt measures 51" X 73".  

The blue tones will support any boy in the Blue Line Program.

Love the label our group uses on donation quilts.

I did the cutting and piecing of the quilt.  My friend Tina did the quilting on her long arm machine.  She always does a terrific job!  Praying that the child who receives this quilt will find comfort and for all the children who are candidates for the Blue Line Halo Program.

Blue Line Kids HALO Quilt

My second donation going to Blue Line Kids!   Finally found a jelly roll that would be perfect for this quilt pattern.  Free Spirit fabric was just that fabric!  Adore the colors and the fabric prints. 

The colors and the design just make me smile!  I adjusted the size of the quilt to make it fit the requirements of the Blue Line HALO  program group.  

 Light blue thread was used to do the quilting, white would appeared stark on the colored pieces.  I used  some of the techniques from Angela Walters Youtube instructions.  So excited to learn wishbone quilting and the technique on the center four patch squares.   Stippling and feathers adorn the white center portions.

The Hoffman aqua batik fabric was donated by designer Jamie Fingal.  I used this fabric for the corner stones, back and binding.  The added strips of color on the back add some zest to the plain back.

Hoping that the child who receives this quilt will love the colors, find comfort and peace.
