I had so many quilts to share this week but I just didn't have the energy to write up a blog post. With it being Friday, I thought a special post was needed. Today we have the first finish from the current block drive. I also added a couple finishes from previous block drives.
Cheryl actually sent in this finished quilt top made from the Jewel Box blocks. I love how she used just purple and green blocks. The diagonal setting is nice too.
There could not have been a better backing than the fabric sent in by Nann. It really finished it off nicely!
This quilt measures 48" x 64".
Yes, we still have Happy blocs to sew together into quilts. But this quilt top was sent in by Mari. It is covered in bright frogs!
We had the perfect bright froggy backing for it (thanks to Karen). This is number 95 for those curious of how many Happy Quilts we donated from that block drive.
And finally, here is the 20th quilt made from the previous Two Step block drive. We have a few more to finish up before we reach the end of the blocks, Half of the back on this one is a tablecloth sent in by Sandy - I just trimmed the pumpkins off one side (and hopefully will use it in something else.) and added some leaf fabric sent in by Stephanie. I think it turned out pretty cool!
Most of the quilts I still have to share are made from tops sent in or completed quilts. They are all so different and pretty - so I know you still want to see them. Hopefully next week won't be quite so busy and I can get the posts written.
The next block drive is already underway. If you would like to make some Jewel Box blocks that will be made into donation quilts, you can read more about it in this post. Thanks!

What a pretty jewel box quilt! I love those blocks - still planning to make some for your block drive. They'd make a great RSC project, too!
That first Jewel Box quilt by Cheryl is fabulous!! It's so cool staring at it and getting different looks at all the geometric areas. I can imagine that more scrappy ones will look great as well! thanks for sharing this new block quilt so we can be inspired. Now I have to find mine and finish a few more to send you. Hope all is well with you and your family.
I always get energized by your posts to work on my own charity quilts faster!
Love the colors of the jewel box quilt. The backing of the fall quilt is perfect for it!
What a pretty jewel box. . .I love the pieced back for Two Step and another Happy block . . WOW! AMAZING each and every one!
The Jewel Box finish is very pretty. That setting makes me think of flying butterflies. Congrats on all the finished quilts!
Oh how fun!! to see a finished one!! Hopefully my blocks finally made it! I put them in the car to take to the po - and then never took that car to town until later!! oh boy!!!
What fun to see blocks from all three drives in finished quilts!
