Life is Better at the Beach

This week's Project Quilting challenge was Vacation. My first thought when seeing that was the beach. Of course it took me until Friday to get started. And I started with 4.5" squares and quickly realized I would never finish on time. I switched to 2.5" squares and came up wIth this sweet baby quilt.

I love the scrappy mixed up background and anchor. I'm looking forward to getting back to the bigger one once some other projects are done.

Tangled Thread - Project Quilting Challenge 3

Last night I finished up my Project Quilring Challenge 3 season 7 quilt. This week we were inspired by thread. All I could think about when I thought thread was a dropped bobbin box from last week. I had dropped one of my boxes, of course not the one that really holds the bobbin, but the old one and they were a mess. 

I took that idea and went with. Whole cloth mini quilt this week. I pulled from my stash of 12 weight Aurifil and pearl cotton and started stitching away. I started with a few circles and then added some random lines around them going here and there. 

This was a fun mini to make. I felt absolutely no pressure to make in any specific way and that was totally freeing.
