There were a few more finishes to share today. But now we have run out of prepared quilt labels, so a stack is forming awaiting labels. (We paint the back of the labels with fabric mod podge to give them a more professional look.) I hope to get to those this weekend.
We finished up another Jewl Box quilt - this time in the pinkish purples. We wanted to use up this blue backing with pink and yellow flowers. This is the 15th quilt from that block drive. I still have quite a few stacks of these blocks to work through.
I thought this was a fun scrapy quilt design. Both the top and the backing was sent in from Kristin. She snagged a ton of kits and fabric for us when a fellow guild member sold her stash. We are so appreciative!
Remember these Color Stix blocks? I think this block idea came from our third block drive. Cathy sent in this quilt top - it was a rainbow scrap challenge quilt. Holly sent in the lovely brown fabric we used for the backing. I still really like how this block looks made with scraps. I might just have to get some local elves working on making some with all the scraps we have around here. I am realizing I am unable to keep up!
Sorry I didn't get this post sent out earlier, but I decided to sleep in a bit today. I have definitely earned a few more hours of sleep!
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend

All of those quilts are great.
As always these are just terrific! I really love how the purple churn dash turned out. If this isn’t a testament to validate scrappy quilts, I don’t know what is!

Nope cannot take credit for the quilt top but it is lovely. Great job someone. Cynthia I warned you about burn out. You need to back down a little, things will wait. Thanks for the leadership.
All of them are bright and fun. You do have some very talented elves working with you.
I take running out of labels as a really good sign - lots of quilts being made and finished!
I've been travelling, so I'm a bit behind on blog reading, but congratulations on getting the 501(c)3 approved. It's not easy to do these days You've shown some great quilts these last few days.

Hi Cynthia. The Color Sticks top was from me. I so enjoyed making it as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge project. And thanks, Holly for sending in the great backing fabric. What a team!
