HQAL March 2025

Here is where I was in the previous HQAL post:

Garden Baskets

You might not notice the difference, so I will point that out for you.

Compare the right side borders of both the 1st and 2nd photos. In the first, some of those leaves are white. That means that they have freezer paper on top, and are prepped for stitching. In the 2nd photo, those leaves are stitched and the freezer paper is removed.

This means that the quilt top is finished and is now marinating until time for quilting.

I am so happy to have reached this accomplishment!

I inherited these 3 fleece blanket kits from Mom, and they were my next project.

No Sew Fleece Throw Blanket

My granddaughter wants to make the kitty blanket. Yay! That left me with only 2 of these projects to make!

I made the cute snowman blanket first, and it is already gifted!

Next, I made the paisley blanket. It isn’t gifted yet, and I might just keep it handy for myself, or a guest, to cozy up with a book, or a movie.

This Hand Quilt Along is an opportunity for hand quilters and piecers to share and motivate one another. We post every three weeks, to show our progress and encourage one another.  If you have a hand quilting project and would like to join our group contact Kathy at the link below.

Floral Reflections Update

My version of the Floral Reflections pattern now has borders and has become a flimsy!

I am so happy to have another very old UFO make it to this stage!

It is approximately 58″ x 72″.

My corner squares are not crooked; it is simply the way the flimsy is hanging that makes them look as if they are not straight.

I do, however, have points cut off from the nine patches in the borders.  Oops!

But they are consistent, and I am okay with that!

Floral Reflections Update

I have made more progress on the Quilt Nouveau Designs pattern, ‘Floral Reflections’, by Binky.

The yellow appliques are now stitched to the background fabric.

I have also squared up my blocks to 12 inches.  They are .5″ larger than the pattern called for.  Rather than squaring to 11.5″, I have decided to adjust the borders when I am ready to work with them.

The blocks are set with sashing and squares, so working on borders will be next!
