I have been receiving lots of Two Step blocks in the post so I have been busy making quilts from them.
Here are a few...
This one was sent as a quilt top by Holly. There are so many pretty sunflower prints in this one.
Lots of the blocks I receive have pretty leaf prints in the 5" square. So I collected a bunch of them up and made Quilt #3. When I quilted it, I did just a quick meander pattern. These quilts have a lot going on so they don't need any fancy quilting.
Stephanie sent in these two brown leaf prints and I decided to use them both on the back. They tie in real nice with the leaf theme on the front.
This quilt measures 51 x 60".
I get sent a lot of panels of all different colors and sizes. This one I got a long time ago from Jean and tucked it away. I love how it looks featured among these blocks in Two Step Quilt #4. I used blocks with a brown square closest to the panel and then pulled some blocks with a green square for the outer edge. It is subtle but I like the effect.
Karen sent in this dark backing. It is a really dark olive and really pretty.
This quilt measure 51 x 68".
This fall colored block drive will be going on until about mid-August - when I would like all the blocks mailed. I think this one will be really popular with the recipients. Most of these quilts will be included in the August, September and October shipments.

Those are great quilts! I love the warm fall colors you've asked for. That panel block is perfect for the theme - great idea! I've made a few of these blocks - will get them in the mail to you next week.
The panel in quilt #4 works perfectly with the two step blocks. I love it when things work out like that!
Those blocks really DO make the loveliest scrappy quilts! Like you, I think these will be well received and what a perfect way to include a fall inspired panel.
Lovely quilts and a great use of the panel. The blocks accent it so well!
