Wow! If you need a fast quilt...this is the pattern for you! Big squares as the checkerboard and a wide piece of novelty fabric and...may I present to you May 2024's Cinco de Mayo quilt!!! This one is mine!!
I used a new to me panto called Apollo. It was a fun sew but I'm still liking my serpentine wave I usually sew. LOL
Well, this one went together in a jiffy. Ummm...that's one of the Fabric Cafe's catch phrases...LOL
Here are the squares along with the Cinco de Mayo fabric.
Here is my completed flimsy.

I found a yard of Mexican inspired fabric and decided to make a Cinco de Mayo quilt to showcase for the May birthdays in my night guild 'Birthday Bash' Challenge. The challenge is use your birthday month as inspiration to create ' a little something' to share at the June 2024 meeting. By the way, I'm running the challenge and always like 'to show' a little something when I stand in front of the guild to talk about the challenge. (ps: my birthday is October and I NEED to make my entry!)
I'm going to make the three yard quilt 'Checkmate' from Fabric Cafe. This is my fabric pull.

Time for my Hollow Nine patch blocks. I am really enjoying making these blocks. many thanks to my fellow RSC-ers who made the blocks in previous years and inspired me to make Hollow Nines this year!

I have a finish but just barely! I was sewing the binding on earlier today...
I am continuing to work on my Pineapple Blossom quilt. It is due at MelonHeads in June sometime, so I'm still ahead on this one! Looks like I need to make a few more blocks...
After I made the blue eagle panel quilt with the Bonnie Hunter Pineapple Blossom surround, I decided maybe, it might be 'hard' to 'see' the pineapple block. I also had quite a few leftover red/blue strips and background. So I am making another set of patriotic pineapple blossom blocks.
Here is the blue eagle panel quilt.

Check another one in the finished column. Yup...the blue eagle panel with Bonnie's Pineapple Blossom blocks as the surround. This one turned out way better than I had envisioned and is getting quite a few likes over on the FB QOV Working Stars page. This started as a challenge to use one of my patriotic panels and create pineapple blocks for the MelonHeads' Show and Share (in June 2024, I think).
I've made my Bonnie Hunter's Pineapple Blossom in the 12.5 inch size and the blue Eagle panel on the design wall.
Next is to add the coping borders so the panel fits the blocks.
I usually like to add a 2 inch inner and 4 inch outer border but this time I decided to go with one dark blue border.
