Safari adventure

-

During my last visit to a Project Linus meeting, I took home some donated fabrics. From a few patches of safari photo panels and a wonderful brown giraffe fabric I created this gem. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough of the background fabric, so I used some slate solid fabric from my stash between the panels. 





The background was made up of one large print with some white background fabric. The final quilt size is 95cm by 107 cm (37” by 42”). Donated to Project Linus in April 2022.

Little red riding hood granny square quilt

-

This quilt was made up based on this free tutorial . I used 12 strips of a fairy tale themed jelly roll with white background fabric to create the granny square quilt. I love how the blocks come together, it’s a great project if you only have some time here and there.  To get the size requirements right, I only made 12 blocks. Each block is 9“ before sewing and 8.5“ after sewing. I used 3“ strips (finished width 2 1/2“) in between squares. I used a donated fabric From Project Linus for the backing and a cherry red binding. I quilted around the blocks as well as a smaller square inside the block. Final size is  90cm by 118 cm (36“ by 46“).

With the remainder of the jelly roll used for this quilt with the addition of some solid fabrics, I made a stoplight quilt. The PDF of this free pattern can be downloaded  here . I’ve sewn up a total of 30 blocks, arranged in 5 rows and 6 columns. The final dimension of the quilt is 92cm by 126cm (36 inch by 50inch).  I used some funny pug fabric and some leftover blocks from the diamond quilt for the back. Finished the quilt with a bright cherry red binding. This quilt was Donated to Project Linus QLD chapter. Hope it will find a new happy owner.
