I've been stitching along with the City Square free quilt along offered by Scott of 4th and Main Designs. You will find all the links HERE .
I did add a couple extra rounds to finish at 92 x 104. I used some gorgeous fabrics - all the taupes were from a Color Club collection at GEQuilt Designs, the gorgeous teal I had in my stash, searched for more but it must be old and vanished. Also used a darker brown for trims and backgrounds of a printed batik and some fairy frost. It is just lovely. I won't be quilting it right away as my mind is wandering to autumn and Christmas projects.

I had pieced up these strippie=style quilts a few months ago when SoScrappy's RSC color of the month was orange. I pin basted them at group sew day last month and decided to dive in with a quick quilting plan.
They each finished at 46 x 56 and are already packaged for donation to our local community service departments for giving out at this discretion. I used a lovely Glide lavender thread for free motion quilting. They are each backed with a fun fleece print.

Yep, still enjoying working thru these donated tops that were generously given on behalf of Heartstrings Lil Quilt Project. I don't forsee getting tired of quilting up these little gifts of love.
I have 3 baby quilt finishes to share this week from tops donated for this mission. They were all free motion quilted using Glide or Omni threads and finish at 36 " square. They will be donated to local service depts for families in need.
This first one was made by Kathy N. I added a couple borders to make it a nice baby quilt size.

This table topper was re-created from a pic seen online several years ago. I called it Carol's Table Topper and I sure don't know who posted the original pic. I've tried to be better about labeling my photos now. I liked it so much, so I re-drew it in EQ in somewhat 9-patch sections, and I left out the outside corners that made it square. I wanted it to lay over a little worktable I use next to my evening stitching station in front of the TV with DH.
I pulled some teals which seem to be one of my favorite colors, if it is possible to have a favorite color. When you're a quilter, you tend to love them all. I cut and pieced it last fall, then it sat. So recently I finally stitched the free motion quilting with assorted designs in the different shapes. Then came the binding. So it sat sgain as I knew this would not be a pleasant job. Actually, it was worse than that....The task from Hades. I thought I could tackle the inside corners and must confess it went awful! Same with hand stitching down on the back. It was horrible and I won't subject myself to this particular misery again. Okay, we can't expect to be good at everything. Only God is perfect. Yay!
It measures 35 inches point to point. I used a few shades of Glide threads.
