Just in time for the next block drive to start, I've got all the January-February quilts finished :) The Jan/Feb block drive made quarter log cabin blocks in cool colors and those became 6 lovely quilts to comfort families who lose loved ones in the hospital!
Today I took pictures of the final 3 quilts to be finished. These all finished at 60"x72" and were quilted with a quick stipple.
I went to work this week for the first time since the news article came out and a lot of the doctors, nurses, case managers, etc. said nice things to me about the project, so kudos to all you guys who help out!
Amanda from Louisiana has been a big supporter of CiL for a while now. Recently she sent me a bunch of yardage for backings from a store that was going out of business. There were some great fabrics in there, including this cool bee/leaf design that went perfectly with these quilts.
The current Covered in Love block drive is wrapping up soon, but there's still time to make blocks if you want to. More info here!

Listening to...Alexi Murdoch. Some nice mellow music.
Those quilts turned out beautifully and congrats on the news coverage!!
ReplyDeleteThese turned out really nice! I'm inspired now--even though it's bedtime, I have a quilt to go "hang" on my longarm...thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love that bee and leaf fabric! Was there any info on the selvedge about who made it? So. Cute.
ReplyDeleteThe quilts turned out so cool and lovely. I'm guessing with the publicity that more people at the hospital will start noticing when they see a quilt being carried by a family, or draped across a bed as they pass by in the hall.
Beautiful quilts that will be a blessing!
ReplyDeleteCongrat on the new notoriety :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts
Very nice calm looking quilts with those colors, sure to bring comfort
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful, Kat! Such a great block idea. I haven't made any of the latest blocks; guess I'd better get on that! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful quilts!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on finishing three more quilts. A huge thanks to Amanda too!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the May/June blocks now that we are nearing the end of April. What is the average amount of quilts you are able to make for the project every 2 months from your donated blocks?
ReplyDeleteA great effort by a good team. Well done.
