As I await a few more of the Churn Dash blocks to arrive, I have been focusing on some low hanging fruit to fill the demand for Compassion Quilts. Some easy finishes are grabbing one of the tops that have been donated, finding a backing fabric and quilting it up.
Becky sent in this lovely top made with a jelly roll. I have not seen this design and I have to admit, I really like it! I did get this quilt finished in time to make the delivery to the hospital. It is a nice large lap size and I bet it will find a home quickly!
(You will be seeing many more quilts made by Becky in the future. I just haven't had a chance to match backings to her tops yet.)
I found a soft yellow print with some faint black stars. As soon as I put the navy blue binding on, the stars now appear navy blue. I love it when pieces come together to make a fabulous quilt :)
Mary sent in the top for this fun 9-patch variation quilt. It is filled with so much scrappy goodness!
It needed a backing and I knew right away what I would use. I have had this gingham star print for a long time and I had just enough for this quilt. I was even able to find a blue solid for the binding that almost matched the blue sashing.
This quilt measures 46 x 52". With all those fun novelty prints, I think I will mark this one for the pediatric center. Sadly, this one didn't make the last shipment - I couldn't get the binding done in time. But I plan on making another delivery in about a month so it will be the first quilt in the stack!
A big thanks to Becky and Mary.
Soon your quilts will be bringing comfort to someone who needs a hug.

Perfect backings for both. That's a lot of yardage for you to have on hand to use for these projects. I'll definitely keep that in mind if I ever donate a quilt top; sending backing fabric along is probably a huge kindness.
Lovely quilts! I know these will be much appreciated.
Lovely scrap quilt
Those are agreat finishes!
