November and a new blocks drive, how time flies! There aren't many things that I find more satisfying than wrapping up a block drive.
We've just finished off the last of the quilts from last Sept/Oct's Fiddlesticks drive. These first 4 were assembled by Pam and quilted by Linda.
The quilting design above with the zig-zag circles is one of my favorites. And I love the color layout on the quilt below. Especially from a distance, it looks awesome.
Sort of feathered shell quilting on this one.
Another really pretty design with pastels on a diagonal.
Little flowers in the quilting and a scrappy pink binding.
This top came from Edna. I has a cool textured blue background. I found a nice multicolor backing and quilted it with a stipple.
This top came from Beth T, also with textured blues. The backing for it was a flannel so it was a bit of a pain to quilt but it's extra cuddly.
Lastly, this top with some beautiful batiks came from Holly L on a textured yellow fabric (love those textured backgrounds!)
All together the Fiddlesticks drive made 19 beautiful and unique quilts!
Covered in Love is a 501(c)(3) charity that donates quilts to patients dying in the hospital, over 800 so far! The Nov/Dec drive is running now, check out the main post HERE if you want to get involved.

so many different looks using the same block! awesome!
ReplyDeleteFYI: Just under the map you refer to the Sept/Oct block drive. I think you mean November/December. That threw me off for a minute.
ReplyDeleteThose all turned out great, Kat!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilts! Holly's is especially interesting with the common background and the blocks turned every way. You'd never know it was the same block design!
ReplyDeleteSo many unique designs/colors in these beauties. Glad you had a lot of help in finished this drive & thanks again for the state map of all the contributors.
