I amazed myself with what I was able to accomplish this weekend. I basted and quilted two child size quilts that I will donate to my guild for charity quilts. I also cut all my left over backing from these quilts into 2 and 2 1/2 inch size and the rest went in the string bin. I pieced together batting for the two quilts and then cut 52 five inch squares of batting from leftover batting to use in a rag quilt somewhere down the line.

Here are the quilts. I purchased this in a scrap bag at my lqs and just added the brown batik sashing. The fabric is out of my comfort zone and not something I would normally buy, but I like the end result

The second is a very scrappy string quilt.

I have not yet mastered free motion quilting , but I love my walking foot. I made wavy lines on the brown quilt and then turned and did the same thing the other way which created a very cool wavy grid. On the string quilt I just did the wavy lines in one direction and then on the seams in the cross direction. I am pleased how well this worked and know that I will use it again in the future.

I am enjoying seeing everyone's progress and projects.
