Hundred Hugs Quilt Finished & WIP Wednesday 9.5.12

I'm excited to report that I finished my Hundred Hugs Quilt.  What a fun way to get rid of a few of those 2.5" squares and half squares made with my Accuquilt GO! Baby.  

Here's where you can find the original pattern!  Aren't these pics from the site cute?

Make this Hundred Hugs baby quilt using my 2.5" block bin and strips

I tried another type of FMQ.  This time I attempted the Dogwood Quilting Pattern.  Elizabeth at Oh, Fransson did a great tutorial on this here.   I thought that since I had all the little squares already in line

on this quilt that I would try.  It worked!  I had great results for my first try.  LOOK:

 

I like how the flower petal design makes a secondary circle pattern.

 

I am also working on my healthy diet and active lifestyle.  If you are looking for motivational and healthy tips, like my friend's page on facebook.  She works at the local YMCA with me and is very cool.

Last week was hectic. I didn't get my WIP Wednesday posted. Here's what I did the last two weeks:

Completed 24 rows of the tumbler charm quilt.

I finished the Tetris QA quilt top.  I really want to get this one quilted by 9/10 to make it to the Tetris quilt parade on Melissa's blog (Happy Quilting).

I worked for what seemed like all day on the pieced back for this quilt.  Hopefully I'll have pictures of the pieced back soon. Tetris quilt parade needs to be turned in 9/10!
