Quilted and Donated
I quilted and finished the improv baby quilt on Saturday.
This morning, after a brief photo shoot, I dropped it off at Nancy's Notions as a donation for Project Linus.
This was an experiment in working with freehand cut curved strips, and I enjoyed it. I got to use up some scraps and stash in the process for a unique, bright baby quilt, which ended up being 37 inches square.
I did ditch quilting around the curved elements and an elongated loop in the narrow border, then overall loopy quilting in the wide outer border.
I'm linking to 100 Quilts for Kids at Swim Bike Quilt. Would you like to make a quilt or two for this drive? You have until September 30, so there's still time.

I LOVE the quilting! It is beautiful! The elongated loops are awesome and so is the loopy filler in the outer border. Your fabrics are so bright and cheerful. What a lovely donation quilt! Someone will surely be very blessed to receive it! Congrats on a great finish and thanks for linking up!
