Quilt 2 for Ronald McDonald House

The X and O quilt on my Q4 FinishAlong Goals # 5 is finally completed. I wanted it to be a boy quilt, so I replaced the purple squares with blue and yellow from my stash. I only realized while sewing the blocks that there are so many variations in arranging them. For this quilt I arranged all x's and o's in separate rows. I sure would like to experiment with other arrangements. So I will be doing more x and o quilts in the future.

I am doing spiral quilting on this quilt. This is my first time doing spiral quilting with walking foot. Well I started with my all purpose foot and switched it to walking foot. I hope it turns out good. I'll be posting the finished quilt in the next day or two.

First quilt(2014) for Ronald McDonald House

Disappearing 9 patch quilt
This is my first disappearing nine patch quilt I learned to make at the Ronald McDonald House quilting group. The lovely ladies in the group are so talented and generous. I learned almost all my quilting basics from them. I am very grateful to be part of this group. 



The quilting I did for the main body actually accentuates the fishes in the fabric, totally unplanned but pleased with the results.

Pink and Green Quilt

I finished another ufo, which I've been calling the pink and green quilt. I am changing its name to 'Girly' quilt. I used Jenny Doan's You Tube tutorial on 3 dudes quilt to make the center. The plan was to make the whole quilt that way. But it needed some lightening up as there is too much going on . When I came across the 'Whimsy Wiggly' pattern on Moda Bake shop, I knew that design would be perfect to mellow this quilt. Added a border to anchor everything down and I am pleased with the result although I I messed up on couple of spots. Didn't catch it early enough to redo those mistakes. Hopefully it doesn't ruin the overall look.
Girly quilt for Niece.
