I, Immaculata, offer Rainbow charm baby quilt for my medium personal finish.
I’m glad to say the recipient was very happy with it! She actually got quite emotional. She’s Mr Imma’s friend from childhood and we know each other, but not that well, since she doesn’t live close anymore. But I’m very glad it went to her! I had originally started this quilt with someone else in mind. Someone who is married to someone I care about, but who I personally dislike. It had started to become an obligation. So when this friend announced their pregnancy, I instantly knew it would be perfect for her and I finished it pretty quickly afterwards.
It was supposed to be a small project, but it ended up being a medium as I spent an entire night just pressing and squaring up the HST and another two hours basting and quilting, then had to rip half of it out to get rid of tucks, then basting and quilting again.

This is gorgeous! I’m not participating in this, but maybe next year.

This is such a sweet gift and it sounds like it ended up with the right person! Did you end up buying a specialty HST ruler?

Saw this on FB. A free class for triangles - I might try this one day…

Sorry - this started today. I meant to post it last week. Hope it is open access.

No, I didn’t, the ones I found were a bit too expensive (I think €40-ish). I used my square Omnigrid ruler with a diagonal line.

The corner windmills just make it perfect. Love the fun fabrics paired with the white.

I’m trying out a layout for my scrap quilt. Wanted to make sure I didn’t hate it. It’s kind of turning into a use the scraps up AND some of the beautiful fabrics I’ve been hoarding, because that’s the only way it’s going to be as big as I want it (before I completely lose interest in the project). Still need to cut 113 little squares and make 20 large scrap squares.

I like it! I’m a huge fan of scrap quilts. There are so many fun fabrics to see. I love the vintage caravan!
It’s after dinner here and Mr. Imma is visiting a friend. I just got out my sewing machine for April’s prompt. This is the best prompt ever. Can’t we just have “start a project” prompts all the time?

Well, I was so tired I didn’t even get around to sewing! I opened the package with the fabric and I pulled all the fabrics out. That’s not really starting, is it?
I hope to get some sewing done today.

I hope you find the time and motivation to sew today!
I’m hoping to get closer to finishing my remaining large scrap squares. I did a lot of crumb piecing yesterday, and finished cutting the little squares.

My mom is 93 and has this little lap quilt that one of the churches made and handed out. It’s a simple 4 square , and it is less than beautiful. So I raided my mom’s fabric stash. She doesn’t have much cotton, but I found some tropical prints. So now I have a fun, bright quilt to stitch up.
But I spent the weekend doing yard work, garden prep, and hiking. My back hurts.

Isn’t that the ‘getting inspired by looking at all the pretty fabric’ step? I’m sure that counts as starting.

I love them! I can never get enough of scrappy projects.

Thanks! I love the scrappy, random aesthetic, too. I still have a pile of small bits of fabrics (not scraps, but not yardage), leftover from the I-Spy quilts, that might find their way into another scrappy quilt later this year.

It never hurts to ask. In fact, sometimes all you need to do is ask

I Immaculata offer a strip quilt for me for May’s prompt!
My sewing class for tonight was cancelled at the last minute, so I decided to sew at home for a bit. Right now I only need to sew WOF strips together, not a lot of thinking involved. I’m WFH tomorrow and I"ll probably leave the machine on the table to sew a bit during lunch, too.
