Squirrelin' Around by Jane D

I am lucky enough to split my time creating between Madison and Door County in WI. This is my second attempt at a challenge quilt and I knew I wanted to try some new things with it. I’ve always wanted to do a ‘crazy quilt’ and also to try ‘quilt as you go’ plus I have a new sewing machine so it was great fun to experiment with some of the embroidery stitches. 



I really liked the squirrel fabric and also the floral fabric included in the Kim packet so they became the centers of the squares. The squirrel squares are arranged in a circle so I named the quilt “Squirrelin’ Around”. It is 34.5” high X 35” wide.

Recycled by Beverly H

Lots of firsts in this project, the plaid is mostly from recycled men’s shirts I worked on last year when I wasn’t able to do any sewing. 

 I’m not enamored with the binding though the idea seemed great. I had used the remaining fabric on the back already. Possibly longer pieces of the plaid in the binding would have looked less choppy. Overall, fun project. Thank you for the push to “just do it”!

This and That Swoon Quilt by Joanne B

 

When I saw the challenge (from a fellow employee at Privia.  We chat through our crafts decor chat)  I bought both color ways and found this way would make the Swoon pattern (#ad) really sparkle. 

Size 50x50"

Minky on the back

Machine quilted and topstitched by me on a Brother Luminaire machine

Button it Up by Lily H

 It's the last challenge. Too many ideas and just not enough time to test them out.




I just made a simple envelope style pouch with a stacked button closure. In keeping of my own challenge of creating some type of bag for each challenge.

Button It Up by Maren

 Dear Kim and Trish,

a wonderful season again. So sad that it was already the last challenge this year. The projectquilting boosts my creativity like nothing else. Thank you for that. 
This year most of my projects turned out in felt🤔
Also the last one.
 Although in the end i disqualify because i found this leechen which compliments the button hole so nicely that i exchanged it for the button:)


3 layers felt. Hand felted, hand quilted

Hope for many more seasons and will continue the button series....

Sunny greetings from the Canary Islands
