Doubles anyone?

January 18, 2021

I decided to keep the momentum going after last weeks P.Q. season 12 one week challenge. If you don't know about Project Quilting you can see my entry HERE

I make outreach quilts for a group I have mentioned many times over the years...Quilts for Kids. I try to make at least one a month if I can. Last year I was sidelined but luckily had many to give before I had to take a break from quilting.

These two heart quilts are from a pattern by Caroline at SewCanShe and the pattern is free HERE

I get her newsletters and it came up the other day in my mail and the size was right for QFKs.

I started cutting up my stash and realized it might be just as easy and fast to make 2 at one time.

Quickly and I mean quickly I had to tops done.

They measure approximately 42" x 42"

I have not quilted anything that big in quite a while and sort of forgot how to use my domestic machine and even how to sandwich a quilt. The first one I used a serpentine diagonal and it looks great on the front but I had some pin tucks on the back. Second one I just used side to side way lines. I think they will both be loved regardless of my learning curve again.

This tennis court is right along the path I walk so thought it would make a cute play on the two quilts.

Other "heart" felt progress... one of my lqg asked for mug rugs to be made for a local nursing home for valentines day. I quickly made one and need to get it mailed off.
