Hello again, friends! Louise here to share more Covered in Love quilts made from YOUR orphan blocks. This batch features panels that were donated from a local quilt shop in Kat's area.
The first two small quilts use these super sweet 18" square panels with flowers, rainboots, and rollerskates. Do you recognize the English paper pieced hexagons made by Bev? These are the last two of her blocks.
Next is a column quilt in springy colors. The panels are small and vertical, and such pretty flowers!
Here's a close up of two panels. I added fifteen 8" blocks in blues and purples to the mix. Most of these were donated as half square triangles that I put together into various classic blocks like Broken Dishes and Pinwheels.
These darling puppies only needed top and bottom rows of softly colored blocks to make a snuggly baby quilt.
This big autumnal quilt uses strips from a single fabric between each row. I think this type of fabric product is usually used for borders, but I didn't have quite enough yardage for that.
The design of grasses and ferns is just lovely, and I enjoyed finding blocks to play nicely with it.
This rather Egyptian looking panel has been sitting in my stash for ages. When a donation of pretty batik and warmly colored HSTs showed up, the panel popped into my mind as a good match. It's a simple design that I hope will provide comfort.
And finally, my favorite of the bunch is this wild lighthouse panel. I've been boating for a long time, but I've never seen an orange and turquoise lighthouse! I love it! It's a bit of a fever dream. Fortunately, my stash of orphan block from y'all can handle ANY color combo.
And since the lighthouse is lurid, extra-long wiener dogs in the same colors are a logical backing right? I thought so. Thank you again for all your donations. These orphan block quilts are powered by the many creative hands of our little community.
