Color Blocks Strawberry Placemats

We are having a hot, humid summer here in New York and nothing screams summer like strawberries! I grabbed my unquilted May Color Blocks Strawberry Placemats and got quilting!

I picked a fun thread, put on my walking foot, and stitched some simple cross-hatching on these placemats. I had to stop my husband from using one (and spilling on it) before the photo was taken!!!

The machine quilting video is live and ready for you to watch. Maybe while enjoying some strawberries?

I used a super-cute fabric on the back of these placemats:

Sweet Tooth Cutie Quilt in Low-Volume Fabrics

I am finishing a month of medical treatments and the accompanying "blah" feelings.  One thing I do when I feel blah is quilt something fun.  Fun quilting for me involves RIBBON CANDY!!!!

I dove head-first into my 1 1/2" strip bin and pieced some quilts that would allow space for lots and Lots and LOTS of ribbon candy quilting.

The first quilt I finished was a Sweet Tooth Cutie Quilt:

While I personally think that more color is better (ALL THE COLOR!), some folks like less color.  I made this quilt for one of those folks.

The part of this quilt that was for me was all the delicious ribbon candy quilting!

Yes, my neutral fabrics include trombones, penguins, Christmas trees, giraffes, and more!
