May Finish COVID-19 #6

Yea!  Another finish!!

This is the sixth quilt finished since the shelter in place began.  Combine it with the two I finished beforehand and I've had a productive year so far.

This quilt was not on my WIP challenge with friends, because I had forgotten it.  When I took a couple of days at the very beginning of SIP to sort in my studio, I found the bag containing pieces and fabrics from a guild class I took last May.

The class was taught by a local instructor, the quick and dirty Pineapple block.  It goes together very quickly because there are not a lot of seams that need to match.  There are some and, yes, I missed quite a few of them

I'm trying to incorporate some ruler work in each quilt. (I need to practice.)
The rope in the inner border was done completely free-motion. No marking.
No ruler. I'm actually excited that it turned out so well.  The corners were tricky.

When I started the quilt I used fabrics from my stash and had no recipient in mind.  As I was finishing it, I decided to gift it to my brother.  His first grandson was born last October.

It is nice to have it finished.  Now I can put the fabrics back.  Ready for the next quilt.

AND speaking of next quilts.  I got out my project from the Bonnie Hunter class last June, Emerald City.  A comment from Bonnie during class gave me the name "Midnight Hibiscus".  Tonight I finished the 1080 half square triangles.

Doesn't look like much, but they're there!

Frolic is finished!!

My one BIG accomplishment for April is to finish Frolic!  

This is Bonnie Hunter's 2019 Mystery.  https://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/frolic-mystery.html

I changed the outer pieced border - just because - and added a final outside border so my binding does not cut off points.  The quilt ended up at 86 x 86 inches.  Just a little smaller than my preferred bed size of 90 x 90.

I did make a Quarantine Challenge quilt for Thimble Towne, but I can't show it.  There will be a customer vote when the store is allowed to open for customers.

Frolic.  86 x 86 inches.

I used the mock flange technique for the binding.
It's all done by machine with a pop of color.

I am not pleased with my choice of thread color. 
The next (?) quilt this busy - small pieces! -
I will select one color and use throughout the entire quilt.
For the non-star block I used a gold color and it blended well
with just about everything.  No glaring contrasts.
In reality, when the quilt is on the bed, the quilting looks fine.

Just looked at previous posts and realized I did not show another March finish.

This is for my newest great-niece born March 2.  I'm excited that it's already done and ready for delivery - when ever that's possible.
