Another quilt for my 'stash bash' week of quilt making.  This quilt was actually started back after the new year when I bought myself the Classic Curve Ruler by  Colorgirl Quilts This is the 4th quilt I finished in about a week from my stash.

It was fine until you tried the curve and all the arc is curve. ha So I put it away and decided today that finished is better than perfect. hmm.....wonder where i have heard that before (angela walters) I am trying every angle to get my beautiful peony in the picture because it looks so cool with the quilt colors.  Another one going to Quilts for Kids Lincoln Ne chapter.  Scrappy, squiggie, stash bashing, and done!  It's all good.  Linking up with  Crazy mom Quilts   and Let's Bee social

This really is a super fun quilt to make with whatever scraps you might have around. These fabrics I scrounged up were each 9" square to start. I found 2 sort of contrasting p

#Love of Everyday things quilt project an Interactive Community Quilt project 2 quilts: 63 x 53 Blocks were made on March 17th National Quilting Day 2018 by the public visiting the  International Quilt Study Center and Museum   Lincoln Ne.  Yesterday, May 4th,  the Museum celebrated their 10th Anniversary by having a Block Party.  Thanks to some wonderful volunteer longarm quilters: Stephanie Jacobson and Patrice Steiner these quilts were done this week and ready to be on display throughout the weekend.  Soon the community quilts will find a new home with our local Child Advocacy Center Lincoln Ne. Thanks to Accuquilt!!   They loaned me an Accuquilt Go and some dies and with the help of Cindy, one of my sisters, we were able to cut tons of shapes to use for the blocks.  If you are on Instagram you can check out #loveofeverydayquiltproject and see many of the smiling faces that made the blocks.  (purple sweater is friend Phyllis and music note bloc
