and fellow lqg member  Steph .   Turning in circles approx. 38 x 48 stash fabric  walking foot and free motion Steph taught a quick HST class.  We were to let the hst's be random.  I think it fell together nicely.  I started with a FQ pack of 5 and added a few more from my stash. The Elizabeth Hartman butterfly fabric was perfect for the backing.  There were 3 offset groups of hst's that formed an hourglass square so I chose to feature those three with circle quilting.

Last November I taught a class using the Quick Curve Ruler.  I had students who wanted to use the large ruler and some the small. My solution was to bring sample blocks to sew in both sizes. I already finished the Holiday runner that was the smaller sample blocks.  That one will go back to the lqg for a donation or auction item.  This one will head to my local chapter of Quilts for Kids. It is nice and bright so I hope some little one will love it.  I recently had a help meet sew day from this class and so there are a few more samples that were put on the back. It is such a great way to use the samples sewn and now the blocks didn't become orphans but a whole quilt.  I am so happy and proud of the members who contributed.  I quilted it with a little serpentine stitch. Simple and will hold together nicely for the many washing ahead.  Notice my matching garden/quilting gloves...bright seems to be my theme lately.   linking up with  NTT My Quilt infatuation Let&#
