The heart quilts are slowly getting put together. Some of these are going to be used for a secret project. It is only secret because I just haven't been able to tell you about it.
I really love how these are turning out. You guys did a great job with the low volume blocks. This one is the third one we have completed. Board Member Pam actually pieced this quilt top for us. Thanks to Jenny, we had the perfect pink backing - it has tiny loops and little hearts.
We are still working through some flannel squares we received eons ago. We focused on the pink squares so I could load one long backing and quilt a bunch of small tops one right after the other. Love this pink and red heart flannel sent in by Kristin.
This one has squares with Strawberry Shortcake. You can see this has the same red/pink heart backing. These all-flannel baby quilt are so soft and cuddly!
Here is heart quilt #4. Pam also assembled this quilt top too. These tops go together really quickly because you really don't have to lay out the blocks. We just sort them into piles that have similar hues and "loudness" of the low volume. Jenny sent enough of the pink fabric to make a second back.
I have to admit I have seen enough pink quilts for a while. Unfortunately, there are more little pink flannel squares next to my sewing machine waiting to be sewn into quilt tops. Next I am going to have to switch over to some boy quilts - bring on the blues and the greens!
Stay tuned for more finishes later this week!

It's great to see the heart quilts coming together and fun to see such variety in the low volume backgrounds!
Those heart quilts are terrific! The flannel backings really do make the quilt soft and cuddly!
Lots of pretty pinks!
Although I live on the other side of the world in New Zealand, I really do enjoy seeing all these different charity/compassion/donation quilts which pass through your hands. I make kids donation quilts too for Grandparents raising Grandchildren so it is nice to get some extra ideas. You and your team really put such a lot of effort into helping others in need.
I love the heart quilts. I know what you mean about being sick of pink. After I do a bluish quilt I really want nothing to do with that color! I hope my package arrived last week. I think I forgot to ask.
