Bev & Sundance

Happy Friday, quilters! This week's quilts are tops by Bev quilted by Sundance Quilting. 

Starting off with this sweet fruit themed quilt. I found the perfect pear quilting design for it in their catalog.

All of these quilts were part of a recent delivery to the hospitals, so they are on their way to grieving families.

This top is made from a fabric line with lots of metallic accents. Bev sent her extra fabrics and I was able to make binding from it.

This last quilt is truly gigantic, I couldn't hang it up to take a photo. The colors are very sweet and soft pinks and greens.

I found a great rose/ floral motif for the quilting that I think works really well.

I apologize that there isn't a new block drive yet. I promise I'll get there. I've just busy with life!

Quilty Hugs from Lori

Happy Friday, quilters! I've got some beautiful quilts too show that all came in finished from Lori!

These are all very bold and bright. I love this colorful batik quilt.

I took a resupply of 47 quilts up to two hospitals this week, thanks to all of your generous donations.

I got a sunburn taking these photos last weekend and now my shoulders are itchy and peeling.

I hope summer is getting started wherever you are!

Bright Quilts for Spring

 

Happy Friday, Quilters! I've got some very bright, pretty quilts to show courtesy of Joanne. 

I'm sorry I didn't get better pictures of these but it was very overcast and wet at the time. They are so bright and happy. This one is made from the potato chip block we did for a block drive last year.

I love the color wash effect on this flying geese quilt. When you look at it from a distance you really get the effect. 

A modern and simple quilt with solid fabrics and it's just gorgeous. 

Lastly, Joanne sent in this pretty purple jelly roll race quilt. Kudos to Joanne and thank you! 

Bits and Bobs

Happy Friday, quilters! Sorry it's been a minute. Here are some Friday Finishes to make up for it. This first one was a top made by McGill, quilted by me.

Does anyone recognize that very punchy fabric line?

Next, another top by McGill quilted by Doris on her long-arm. Same fabric line I think? 

This striking red and white top was pieces by Erin and quilted by me.

I think I had some of this red fabric at one point? It looks awesome for such Simple design. The smaller stars are built out of the sashing and cornerstones.

Lastly, a vibrant scrappy top by Irene quilted by me. 

Hope you're all well! This is absolutely an old photo from the cooler months. Summer will be here before we know it.

(I will get the new block drive up sometime, but I'm the meanwhile if you still want to send in time scrappy mountain blocks you can.)

Friday Photo Filler

 I was supposed to fix up the posts last night, but instead I fell asleep! Have some pictures instead.

Patriotic Comfort

Hello, friends! Louise here once again to share some Covered in Love quilts made with your orphan blocks, scraps, and other donations. Today's batch feature red, white and blue and patriotic themed pieces. These are always popular with families and fun to make.

This first piece is a classic orphan block quilt, with a sneaky twist. Did you notice that the columns are slightly offset from each other, top to bottom? That's because the blocks are not all the same size. They are all close to 12.5" but some are 12", 11.75" etc. I grouped like sizes together and shifted the columns to fool the eye. Remember: if you have a block or two that don't fit your quilt, they might just be the perfect addition to a CiL orphan piece!

This fun quilt was donated as a group of very similar windmill blocks. I really like how it is hard to tell where one ends and another begins! 

The blocks were very well made and all the same size, so it was simple to sew them together and add a white border. Even the binding of patriotic dark blue fabrics was pre-sewn for me. Easy peasy!

The backing features some neat Texas flag fabric.

The last quilt of the day has a cool eagle panel as the center of a giant log cabin block. Someone donated strips of super soft plaid flannels in reds, blues, creams and golds. I put the darker red/blue pieces on two sides and the cream/golds on the other.

Eagles are such beautiful birds, aren't they? I love when Kat sends me donated panels like this.

Here's a closeup of that same patriotic binding: blue batik stars. Very appropriate to finish off this quilt.

Many thanks to everyone who sends in donations to Covered in Love. You help us do the important work of comforting families, and we couldn't do it without you!

 

Down Home Country

Hello, friends! Louise here again to share some recent finishes from donated blocks and tops. Today's quilts share a more muted color scheme. This one was pieced by Priscilla and showed up at my doorstep as a completed top. 

Aren't the colors soft and pretty? I love how she used several different florals as the borders, and the heart in the center. Thank you, Priscilla, for all the work you do for Covered in Love!

The second quilt is orphan blocks all around. I started with the large central orange block, and chose others in autumnal colors to surround it.

I really like these jungle-themed blocks. A cat-spotted friendship star! I decided it must have been autumn on the savannah, too, and included these beauties.

An autumnal top calls for an autumnal backing, too. Don't you love a good leafy print? Thank you to those who donate larger cuts of fabric as well as blocks!

Lastly, this quilt is much smaller and will be given to the NICU. The little panels with a trio of chickens are flocking together peacefully and are joined by a wide variety of orphan blocks in coordinating colors.
