February FO Linky Party

Today is the linky party over at Cat Patches.

The most important finish for February is the baby quilt for a family member.  This baby is going to need it as she will be living in one of the coldest parts of our country.  As I write this, they are having more snow. The prediction for an early spring doesn't seem to be happening.  Maybe that will change.
This quilt I have shown in snippets in earlier posts. The fabric is aviary2 by Joel Dewberry for Free Spirit.  I had my doubts about this collection for a baby quilt.  Now I really like it.

From the same fabrics, I made a fabric postcard to send along.

Another quilt of size is a scrap quilt made using "magic" blocks described in McCall's Quilting.

It is a lot of sewing but it was fun to do.  This will be backed with fleece and donated to the hospital.

The smaller projects consisted of blocks and mug rugs for swaps,

I did start on the Guild challenge that is due at the end of March.  I will be making a table runner with Log Cabin and Sawtooth Star blocks  So far I have traced the pattern onto the fusible web and onto the backs of the fabrics. The grid on the fabric is drawn.  This method is very different so it is a real challenge.  I will probably write a separate blog later about it.

I got hooked into buying some new fabric at the LQS.  It was a real bargain that I couldn't resist.  It is all  precuts so that helped speed the piecing of the quilt top. I made up the pattern as I went which was a challenge to my lacking math skills.

It has been a productive and fun month.
Hope yours was the same.










Happy Quilting!
