Quilts by Others

The finishes are just flying through right now!

Oh boy, do I love a good string quilt.  And I didn't have to do anything but sew a label on this one. Thanks so much Jean!

This quilt measures 51 x 54".

Local quilter Chris donated this quilt top.  (She actually donated a total of 19 tops!)  I have been working on getting them all quilted up.

A nice gray fleece went on the back of this quilt.  It is super cuddly.

This quilt measures 58" x 74".

Nann sent in this lovely scrappy quilt top. It is huge!  I still had a partial bolt that had been drop shipped of this lovely blue.  It almost used the whole thing.

This quilt is 88 x 96".  It may be the largest we have donated.

Local friends are hitting their flannel stashes and making some quilt tops.  Jeanne made this one - and she sent a backing.

It measures about 38 x 42".

Karen had sent me this lovely blue jelly roll many moons ago.  I recently handed it off to Charlene and she made this pretty quilt top.  Nann sent in the perfect blue backing fabric.

This quilt measures 48 x 54".

I think this cleans up all the quilts that were completed last week. We are currently completing just over one quilt a day.  Now that some of my longarm volunteers are back from vacation to help out, I bet that number is going to grow a bit.

Stay tuned for more!

Mari’s Quilts

The same day I received Sue’s six finished quilts, I received a package of finished quilts from Mari. 

Needless to say, it was a really good day!

Love this sweet little twister quilt. The colors are bright and happy.  

On the back is a soft minky fabric.

I love a scrappy coin quilt.  And I have to say Mari knocked it out of the park with this color combination.  Not something I would have thought of, but I sure do like it!

I love the vibrant back too.

The front of this quilt has some adorable gnome garden fabrics.  The backing is flannel and is seed packets.  How cute!

Another sweet little quilt in great colors.  Once again Mari used flannel on the back.  Perfect for the coming winter months.

Plaids and plus signs. Great combination Mari.  

Janet really liked this one because there were dogs on the back.

Thanks so much Mari!  These will all be added to the October delivery to Bags of Love - which supports kids in crisis.

Oh Scrap! : More Quilts from Scraps

I am still working through my flannel scraps. 

 I didn't think I had that much but I keep making quilts!

For this little cutie, I pulled all the pink flannel scraps I had.  I didn't have a lot of the animal fabric so I just used those as the quilt highlight.

It's very soft and cuddly!

This quilt measures 40" square.

For this lodge-themed little quilt, I not only used flannel scraps, but I also used a few flannel fat quarters I had and didn't know how else to use them.

To make this quilt, I just cut everything into 3.5" strips.  Then it was just a matter of placing the chunks where I liked them.  A nice deer flannel for the back finishes off the lodge feel.

This cuddly quilt measures 40 x 48".

Remember this lovely applique quilt that Amanda sent in?

 Amanda sent me the scraps and I made this cute strip baby quilt.  I just added in some little tree fabric scraps I had.  Then on the back, I used this fun outdoor/camping print.

This quilt is also about 40 x 48".

I just gotta use it all up!

Jolly Bar Jumble

I have always been a fan of the Fat Quarter Shop's shortcut quilt pattern series.  They are written for various preccuts.  So when they asked me if I wanted a sneak peek at their newest pattern, I jumped at the chance to make it.

The pattern is called Jolly Bar Jumble and it is designed to use Jolly Bars.  If you don't know what Jolly Bars are, they are a Fat Quarter Shop exclusive precut.  They measure 5 x 10" (so half of a layer cake).

I ordered a few in the FolkLore collection by Fancy That Design House.

When I ordered them, I wasn't sure if I was going to use Kona Navy or Kona Butterscotch for the background.  I have both in my stash.

I love the colors in these printed fabrics!

I decided to go with the butterscotch and started cutting.  But I still really like the navy.....

I will continue to share this project as I go!

Thanks Fat Quarter Shop for including me in this shortcut pattern release.

Ooops - So Sorry!

I cannot believe I totally spaced out Oh Scrap last Sunday. I have been having those days lately where I think it is totally a different day of the week.  If you had a post to link up, feel free to link it up next Sunday. Sorry about that!

Sunday I had a huge shipment show up in my living room. Yep, those are large garbage bags full of fabric!  Kristin had an opportunity to get some fabric at a great price but she knew she wouldn’t be able to ship it from Washington due to cost, so thanks to some friends, we leap-frogged it here to Eugene. Thanks Kristin, Barb and Jeanne.

Not only was there fabric but there were a ton of quilt tops and ready to go “kits” to be parceled out to my little elves to finish up. Most everything has flannel so we will work our hardest to get them completed and delivered to kids this holiday season. 

Thank you so much Kristin! 

There are going to be so many cute quilts to be shared soon!

Some Veteran Finishes

 Right now, we don't donate a lot of Veteran quilts (but I hope to change that in the future) so I just make sure a couple get finished every month.

This one was made by my good friend Jeanne.  The panel and the eagle fabric were all donated some time ago. 

This quilt measures about 60 x 72".

This wonderful quilt was made from scraps (the 6" alternate blocks) and 4-patches from our Churn Dash drive.  Someone had sent in a ton of the colonial blue and cream 4-patches.    I really wanted to showcase them in their own quilt.  Any large chunks of patriotic leftovers get cut into 6.5" and 5" squares.  So it was easy for me to grab a stack of the 6.5" squares and alternate them with the 4-patches.  I put them in a bag and Penny arranged them in the design above.  She also sewed them into a quilt top.

We now have enough Veteran quilts for our October deliveries.  I will start to plant the seeds for a few more quilts that should be completed for our November deliveries.  And so it goes.....

Sue's Quilts

With the high cost of postage, it sometimes takes a little help from others to get quilts to me to donate.  Sue lives up in Washington but a friend of hers comes here to Eugene quite often.  Below are 6 of the quilts that made the trip this time.

Thee all flannel quilts are so warm and snuggly.  

This one will be going off to keep some older kid warm.

Here is a brown version.  

I love the diamond quilting on them.

This one is amazing.  Not only is the design and the colors really pretty but the feather quilting on this one is to swoon over.

A double pinwheel in red, black and gray.  These blocks would be a fun RSC project.  I didn't participate this year, but I still have a list for future years.

Another all flannel quilt.  The colors are really soft and peaceful. 

 I think I will send this one off for a teen quilt too.

And finally, this lovely bird quilt.  I love the colors and there is more amazing quilting on this one.

A huge thank you to Sue for making and donating these finished quilts and another thanks to Margaret for delivering them to me.

It is so amazing to see so many people out there supporting this project in one way or another!

Thanks so very much!!!
