I have finally found a bit of time to sit down and write a blog post. Sorry it has been so long since I have shared some finishes. It is going to be all about small quilts today.
This project came from a local estate sale. In amongst some fabrics were some whole and some partial blocks. I couldn't toss them so I made this little quilt top. It was kind of small so I added a dark blue border. I also added this dark blue backing fabric that Dorothy sent.
It has the words Sweet Dreams on it.
Local quilter Chris made this sweet quilt from some flying geese. This is more of that really pale fabric that we had that really stumped me. I knew she would be able to find the perfect way to use it. We used the same fabric for the backing as we did for the border.
This top has been hanging around here for a bit. Mari sent in this top when we did the Hapy Block Drive. I think it got stuck on the bottom of the stack of quilts in my studio. It has a wonderful music theme. It will get delivered to a kid's organization tomorrow so it can start bringing comfort soon.
We still have some pre-cut flannel squares that were sent to us MANY moons ago that we are still working through. This cute flannel back came from an estate sale. Love that we are able to turn all these bits into quilts!
Aaarg!! This adorable pirate quilt top and backing came from Kristin. I sent it off to local quilter Cindy who finished it up beautifully. I love the colors!
This quilt was also made from some leftovers. We received a kit that used charm squares probably a year ago. The quilt it made is long gone. But we had quite a few of the charm squares left. I turned them into this nice small lap quilt. We used some of the autumn fabric sent in my Stephanie for the backing. Cindy also quilted this ne up for us.
It is starting to turn colder here so we are using a lot of flannel. This all flannel top and backing came from Kristin. Local quilter Cindy quilted some paw prints on it.
Janet had an eye surgery - that is why she has on the huge sunglasses.
She ended up with quite the black eye that is still healing!
And finally, this fun little house quilt top came from Elana. There is a surprise occupant in every window. I always love the bright colors she uses in her quilts. We backed this one with a rich teal flannel fabric.
We are busy making the last of our deliveries for the year. I am hoping to find a home for every quilt that gets finished before Christmas. I will let you know how many quilts we ended up delivering for the year soon.
BTW - The next block drive for Many Hands and Many Hearts has been released. You can read more about it in this post.
