Oh Scrap! : Delivery by Wilma

This was a great week for Many Hands and Many Hearts.  We have TWO new longarm quilters joining our volunteer ranks.  One is even ready to do a couple a week for us.  

So, I have been spending this week trying to get backs pieced, batting cut and (for some) binding prepped.  How many?  I am prepping up for 19 quilts!  Needless to say,
I don't have anything scrappy to share today.

But I do have some finished quilts to share.  Wilma lives in the Sacramento area and was planning a trip north with some friends.  They offered to bring some finished quilts to be dropped off.  Unfortunately, the friends were unable to come but Wilma's husband decided to take a nice vacation up to Oregon with his wife.



First up is this sweet Sunbonnet Sue Quilt.  I think Wilma made this one.  It is actually tied and has a higher loft batting.  
It is so squishy and soft.




I think Wilma also made this blue work Sunbonnet Sue.  This is really a bed sized quilt but we have plans for it.  Janet struggled to hold up the backing so she just shared half - it is a lovely soft blue



Amber made this happy quilt.  The panels she used are really cute and she picked the perfect prints to go with them.




I think Wilma made this one.  I really like the pattern - you can really play around with colors on this block. And the border print she picked was perfect for the bold colors she picked.




This is actually an ocean themed quilt.  The colors are so soft and soothing.  Amber used a colorful batik for the back.  I think this was sent out for an older kid last week and is probably already delivering cuddles to someone.



This is another finished quilt made by Amber.  Love the turtles!  It is all appliqued and is going to be definitely treasured by some child




This final quilt is one made by Wilma.  Another great pattern with stars and chains and sashing all coming together to make a great design.

I think Wilma also brought up three quilt tops for us to finish.  I think they are all queued up for longarm quilting so I will share those when they are completed.  Thanks so much for making the trip North Willma.  It was wonderful to meet you and your husband!


Hope you guys have lots of scrappy inspiration to share...
