Blue Bits and Pieces

 A quilter from my group gave me her hand Me downs from 2 other quilts she had made. Here's what I came up with. 

Free motion quilted on the Juki. 






Browns Par of Reclaimed Blocks Quilts

 I picked up these vintage scrappy blocks partially constructed at my Quilt Group. Formerly made by an elderly quilter now entering assisted living, I felt they deserved to be completed!

I made them into 2 lap quilts and up they go to etsy!


This is the slightly smaller of the 2. 





The second one, a little bit larger

Leftovers Baby Cars Quilt

 Made by bordering the leftovers of my recent split 4 Patch quilt. Started with 5" blocks. Split them by different amounts between 1 and 3 inches. 




I got the flannel trucks backing at my Quilt Group and did a very quick loop free motion quilting. Instead of batting I used a thin fleece blanket I got at Walmart in an after Christmas clearance for $1.
Virtually a free quilt to make!
Will offer for sale I e at the After School Program Craft Garage Sake.
