Whenever I deliver a stack of Compassion Quilts, I try and have a nice mix of big and little, adult and child. Most of the quilts I have finished lately have been large so when I had some openings on my longarm schedule, I snuck in some fun quilt kits Karen sent.
Isn't this little yellow and pink quilt nice? I always think of pink lemonade when I see it. It is such a simple block but it sure makes a nice quilt.
This one measures 32 x 40".
It came with this sweet pink backing fabric. I was able to use the trimmings after it was quilted for the binding. I love when that happens!
And check out this one! I hate to give up the secret but it is actually just a panel. No sewing involved in the top! I really do love how it turned out and I know it will brighten someone's day.
Karen also sent the perfect John Deere green solid for the back. I really wanted to frame this one out with a black fabric and found one that was just the right size.
This one measures about 35" x 42".
I am still taking blocks for the current Compassion Quilt block drive. I should have two more finished Stix quilts to share later this week.

Connecting Threads is having their Christmas in July sale. This is a great time to stock up on backings. There are quite a few regular yardage pieces for under $4 a yard and wide backing for under $9. Many are some of my favorites!
