We here at Many Hands and Many Hearts are still focusing on pushing through some of the quilt tops that were donated to us. A rather large queue of them were created when we were busy making quills from some block drives.
This blue, gray and taupe quilt top was sent to us from Denice. We had the perfect gray and taupe backing for it thanks to Dorothy. Local longarm quilter Laura finished it all up. It is unfortunate the photos of this quilt aren't that great due to the bright sun but it really is quite pretty.
Here is a combination of colors that I might not have thought of but looks amazing - and that is navy with kind of a berry pink. The tag for this one got misplaced so I can't say who sent in the quilt top. For some reason, I think it was Elizabeth.
Here is a wonderful flannel quilt. We lost the tag on this one too, but I think it was one that Cheryl recently sent in. I just quilted it with some irregularly spaced straight lines.
I have to admit that I was the one who loses these tags - there are days where I find myself with a bit of time to quilt something up and I just grab off the pile that is waiting to be processed. I always think I will remember the details, but nowadays, I seem forget them quickly.
I do remember the details on this quilt because I made this one. We received a bunch of leftover scraps from a project. There were triangles and strip sets and a small bi of yardage. I played around with all of the bits until I came up with enough blocks for this quilt. I think the only leftovers I had were a few squares. I love working on these kinds of projects.
Mari donated the pink/red backing fabric, and local longarm quilter Laura finished it up.
And finally, there is this sweet quilt. We were gifted the little center panels quite some time ago. I kept trying to find some fabrics that would work for frames in our stash but we don't get a lot of these dusty pastels. Local quilter Chris offered to take them home and find something in her stash. I knew she would find the perfect prints.
Karen sent in this dusty pink fabric we used on the back. She actually donated a big piece of yardage which we used on a couple other quilts. There was just enough left for this cutie.
So that is it for today. Between the Fourth and the Sister's Quilt Show this weekend, most of the volunteers have been busy elsewhere. I am hoping in a couple weeks, we will get back to our regular pace.
Have a happy week!
