We finally got some photos of some quilts taken. Time to share them with you...
My friend Karen wanted to burn through some of her batik scraps so she made three quilt tops out of squares with some vertical solid strips - each a different color. This one is the purple one. (The other two are blue and green.) We were finally able to use some of this gray, purple and yellow backing fabric we have had for eons. I think Deana picked it up from an estate. Local quilter Laura quilted and bound it.
Denice sent us this fun little quilt top made from HSTs. I got a little crazy with the quilting. But it works with the pattern and the prints on the front.
This is another top that Denice sent to us. How sweet are those pinwheels sent in that yellow?!
This one has the same backing as the first quilt. In total, I think I quilted 5 quilt tops all on one big long backing fabric. It makes the quilting of these small quilts go so much faster!
Jean sent in this colorful quilt top. I guess you would call it a 12 patch. This quilt will be perfect for a teen. I think it is already in the pile to get delivered next week. Jean also sent in this backing already pieced - I love when that happens!
Hey, it is a split 4-patch. But this one did not come from the block drive - Kristin sent in the top and backing. I love the diagonal design she created.
We still have a LOT of split 4-patch blocks to assemble but we have been meeting our current quilt needs from tops coming from others, so they are just sitting on the shelf until we need them.
With our big holiday push right around the corner, I am thinking that will be soon.
I will hopefully be sharing more on Friday.
We received a big shipment of finished quilts so I want to make those a post of their own.
They are all so amazing!
