Happy Friday, quilters! I have 4 beautiful quilts sent in by CiL supporters this week. Edna J sent in these first two. She always rounds off the corners of her quilts and I love that.
This cool looking scrap quilt is actually a deceptively simple design, just alternating 9 patches of squares and HSTs. She did simple and very effective quilting with straight lines that echo the seam lines.
Next up, a patriotic design with alternating squares and quarter-square triangles. Again, she did lovely straight-line quilting. I wish I did more straight lining! Free motion is so much faster and easier once you get the hang of it that I just don't have the patience for straight lining any more.
Jeanie sent in these next two tops. This first one reminds me of a Hudson Bay blanket because of its color scheme.
I love the striped binding she pieced together for it and, again, the straight-line quilting.
Lastly, Jeanie also sent in this very cool top with a complex design to show off some pretty fabrics. I love how it looks almost woven.
Things are good here. I am looking forward to our first tomatoes of the season and making plans for some summer travel. Staying busy as always.
One cat towers on the porch finally passed beyond saving and I recycled some of the pieces to build the cats a new climbing structure. I think they approve.
Covered in Love is a 501(c)(3) charity that donates quilts to patients dying in the hospital, over 1700 so far! The Winter 2026 block drive is live now. Check out the main post HERE if you want to get involved.
Wow! These are some seriously beautiful quilts! I love how bold and striking the simple geometric designs are. Many thanks to Edna and Jeanie for sharing their talents!
ReplyDeleteThey are all neat but my heart pulls me toward the patriotic one.
ReplyDeleteThat HST quilt layout is amazing. . .and to think that HST block is paired with a nine patch!
