February Challenge

here is the first one finished......it is backed with fleece and I cut that extra big on all sides so that I could bring it over to the front to create the binding!

It is going to Project Linus and fleece backed quilts are particularly good for wheelchair users!

OMG you gals are making me feel very guilty.

This is a series of 12 blocks made during a challenge set by Tessa in 2015/16 called Alphabet Month Challenge.

We all made a block for ourselves using a pattern we chose individually starting with the same letter as the month.

I made the blocks but never put them together so this month it will get done! (I hope).

I have just finished this quilt. Made from Birthday Blocks from 2013! Practised a lot of quilting on this one.

these are both beautiful

I love the soft colours of yours Carol and the striking colours of yours Reenie.

What type of quilting did you do on it Reenie and was it difficult?

Hello Eileen, I used pebbles on the cream, a pinwheel on the centre - using freezer paper ironed on and sewing round the outline. I tried a feather free motion stitch on the greens which turned out more like a fern! I felt more confident as I went on and used different colours - some stood out more than others. I also used stippling and a bit of 'in the ditch'. All in all a good exercise. It did take quite a bit of time to do it all but because I had not spent time making the blocks I felt I could spend more time quilting it.

Reenie, I just love the colours and the pattern, can I ask what the block is called please?

Jayne, I have tried to look back in the threads for the PP Birthday Club 2013 but it is no longer there. I think Alison picked the birthday blocks and I am not sure, but I think a lot of the blocks would have been from the quilterscache website. However, as I didn't make the blocks, I am not sure what they are called, sorry! Maybe someone who was in the group remembers ... a bit of a long shot, but you never know!
