This brown manly quilt top was sent in by Sandra for Covered in Love. This lovely top was HAND PIECED! I wish I had gotten better pictures of the fabrics. It's just a simple rectangle setting, but some of the fabrics are beautiful.
This large quilt will be perfect for a man. Since it's hand pieced I quilted it quite densely. I bound it in blue to bring out the blues in some of the fabrics.
I have also gotten several finished quilts in recently. This pretty yellow zig-zag came from my do. Good Stitches group, the NURTURE circle. It was assembled by Jackie and quilted by Gayle, they both did a great job! Normally I contribute blocks to this circle, but this quilt is one of the ones from this summer when I was in New Mexico so Louise was a Block Angel for me and made two blocks for this quilt.
Speaking of Louise, I sent her a box of fabrics a while back to make quilts from for CiL and she just sent me this ribbon quilt made from the cat fabrics donated from Henry Glass. You can find her post about this quilt (and more pictures) here.
Louise outlined all the cat and did different FMQ motifs in each ribbon. Perfect for a cat lover! Special thanks this week to Sandra, Louise, Jackie, Gayle, and the do. Good Stitches ladies :)

Wow! The blue binding is wonderful with that brown quilt. The ribbon quilt is such a fun design. I have several blocks for you but not sure if I should send them or wait a few weeks in case I feel the urge to make more.
ReplyDeleteYou have been so busy! Love all the projects but the yellow one is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThey all look wonderful! Man quilts are such a good contribution!
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten about the yellow Do. Good blocks. The finished quilt is very sunny and upbeat! And the Man Quilt looks really great, love that blue binding. The thought of hand piecing an entire quilt sort of boggles my mind, so good for Sandra!
ReplyDeleteI'm SEW glad that you mentioned the String Block Drive!! My block is still sitting on the cutting table in my studio. I need to get that out in the mail to you!!
ReplyDeleteThat cat quilt is WAY cute! And I love the bright blue binding on the brown quilt. Perfect choice. Wonderful quilts, all around. Good work ladies!
ReplyDeleteI will gladly mail you some string blocks for the Covered in Love blocks drive.please send me your mailing address. janeludwig86@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThe Man Quilt is perfect. I like that there isn't a lot of blue in it and the blue border makes them pop. I have that ribbon quilt pattern, just need to make it one of these days!
ReplyDeleteKat, can you send me your address? I have a few blocks for you.
