Happy Friday, Quilters! It's the first block drive finish since we started back up. These three quilts are from the Mod Mosaic block drive we did in Jan-March this year.
I sent all the blocks we got in to Linda and she assembled and quilted them. I actually love how these came out. They look better in person than they do in the photos.
These have already gone up to the hospital to be distributed. With three hospitals regularly passing out CiL quilts now they pretty much use them as fast as I can bring them up.
This was meant to be a smaller blocks drive since I was just jumping back in after hiatus and didn't want to be immediately overwhelmed. If you donated see if you can spot your block. I think we only had a couple left over.
Thank to everyone who helped, especially Linda for finishing these!
This picture is from a few weeks ago when a bird got stuck on my screened in porch and the cats were fascinated. We had a repeat incident one morning this week when certain kitties who shall remain nameless brought a bird (stunned, but very much alive) in through the cat flap... That was an exciting way to wake up. The mostly unharmed bird was eventually returned to the outside where he belongs.
Covered in Love is a 501(c)(3) charity that donates quilts to patients dying in the hospital, over 1500 so far! The July-Sept block drive is live now. Check out the main post HERE if you want to get involved.

What nice, colorful quilts. So happy that 3 hospitals are benefiting from the gifts of love from CiL. Thanks to all the contributors.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Fudge is ready to pounce!
They turned out great!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, these turned out GORGEOUS!! I've always loved this block but never made any. I hope the few extras leftover end up in one of my "orphan blocks" quilts (hint, hint!)
ReplyDeleteI love these! So colorful.
ReplyDeleteOh these are beauts, they will be much appreciated when given!
ReplyDeleteI love working out how a pattern was put together. You threw down the gauntlet. I picked up. The blocks were first pieced into 4 equalized quadrant. This was done by spinning them around a 3" x 3" square windmill fashion. Next the quadrants were aligned. Finally the border was added. Because each block is unique and scrappy it appears gloriously random.
