Beautiful donated tops

Hello, friends! Louise here to share some really lovely tops that were donated to Covered in Love recently. I quilted and bound them and now they are ready to comfort families. First up is this bright, modern quilt pieced by Christine. The black centers of each block are a fun confetti design.

Next is this cute disappearing nine patch by Donna. Have you ever tried this block design? I've made several myself and it's so versatile. 

For the back, I used this blue floral that was also donated. Zingy!

Next is this all-batik bargello pieced by Priscilla. I love how it curves and swoops!

This one also got a donated backing in a neat stripe that coordinates so well with the front. They were made for each other!

Priscilla also sent in this fun top, in similar fabrics to the bargello. I love the basketweave shape that appears from these blocks. 

Can you see how the blocks are made? It's very similar to the Colorworks pattern, but made with pieced centers. Lovely! 

Is red your favorite color? If so, this might be your favorite quilt. Jan pieced this eye-catching top with scores of different red fabrics. What a great idea for using 2.5" squares....hint, hint!

I used this red and white fabric for both the backing and binding, and believe it or not used orange thread for the quilting. It blends right in to all the reds and doesn't read as orange at all. 

 

And last but not least, here's a bright and sweet quilt pieced by Jo K. Simple squares with one snowballed corner, but it looks fancy.

I was inspired to do a bit of free motion quilting that shows up nicely in the white diamonds created by the snowballed corners.

Many thanks to Jo, Jan, Priscilla, Donna and Christine for sending in these super tops!
