I spent about a week straight just working on quilt tops that have been sent in by others. Once I had a nice pile of quilts, I had to sew on all those bindings!
(Luckily, I have little elves to help me sew on some.)
Here are a few that I completed.
This is one that Becky sent in many months ago. I love this coral and blue together.
The reason it took so long is I could not find a backing I liked for this one in my stash. I rummaged through a friend's stash and found this blue and orange cross weave. She generously let me have it. It looks amazing with the top.
This quilt measures about 58" x 68".
Becky also sent in this amazing quilt top. I had the same problem finding a backing I liked. I did find a pink gingham piece I liked with it in my fabric, but I didn't have enough for the entire back.
My good friend helped me out again. She picked out the Tula Pink bunny print and the green stars to go with the pink piece. It really works well all put together. She has such a good color sense (and a generous heart).
This quilt measures 66" square.
Holly sent in this next quilt top. When it arrived, it was one quilt top. I had a backing I really wanted to use on it but it looked weird on a long narrow quilt. So I decided to take it apart and add a few borders and make it into two smaller quilts.
I had this horse print that Kat sent me that I have had a hard time finding it a home. It worked perfectly on these two quilts.
Now there will be twice the quilty hugs!
These quilts each measure 46 x 50".
I am hoping to have the first quilt completed with the Happy Blogs on the blog this Friday. I should finish up the binding tonight. I think I already have 6 tops waiting to be quilted.
I am not even going to try and guess how many quilts will get made from the current Compassion Quilt block - They have been arriving at a pace unlike any previous block drive!
(You guys are awesome!)
