I've been working on my final quilt for the Hands2Help2021 challenge. I will be donating 2 quilts to the Little Lambs Foundation and another quilt as my Hometown Hero. More on that in a later post. I put the final stitches in the binding of Spring Fever yesterday!
This is a bright baby quilt.
I pulled fabrics from my stash to match the piece, also from my stash, that I would use for the back. I drew a simple quilt pattern on graph paper.
The rotating pink squares bring movement to the simple design.
The backing has little rose buds in blue, pink, and yellow with green stems. I needed to piece the back to make it big enough.
The Little Lambs Foundation suggests 36" x 42" for the size of a baby quilt.
Spring Fever is 36" x 44" ~perfect!.
I FMQ petals in the yellow blocks, leaves in the green blocks, and a offset circle shape in the pink/white blocks.
The binding is a striped fabric with a mix of colors that I felt would go nicely.
It was nice to stitch this quilt completely from my stash!

EDIT: I've sent off 2 quilts to Little Lambs Foundation this week!
I haven't updated you on my Thankful Slow Stitching in awhile. It has been a little slow lately as I have doing some additional hand stitching. Almost all the green stems are finished!
Slowly I have worked on some scrappy blue tumbler blocks. Here is all the colors I've completed so far.

I forgot all about sharing my March journal calendar and it is almost the end of April. I'm more accountable to keep it up when I share it so here it is!
