Priscilla's Tops

Happy Friday, quilters! This week I have tops by Priscilla and quilted by three different quilters. This first one was quilted by me, I think the colors are really fun.

Next up, a HUGE disappearing nine patch quilted by Doris. This one is a really show-stopper. The colors are so coordinated it doesn't even look like a scrap quilt until you look close. 

Lastly, a jelly-roll-race style top quilted by Linda.  I like the effect of having the dark strips in the middle with the light ones on the outside.

Spring cleaning is in full effect here. I'm working on putting up wire mesh to block the birds from being about to get into the porch. No more breakfast a la Fudge. 

The first batch of Spring baby birds have been hatched in the roof of my carport and are chirping their little hearts out. 

I've been taking a card/tablet weaving class at our local league of the arts and really enjoying it. Hope you all are well!

Linda & Priscilla

Happy Friday, quilters! This week's quilts were all tops from Priscilla which were quilted by Linda on her long arm.

Priscilla never fails to make the most cozy and beautiful scrap quilts. 

The multi colored thread Linda used on this one complements it perfectly.

I've just gotten back from a nice trip to Santa Fe visiting friends. It's always beautiful up there and so relaxing. 

This quilt with the yellow squares and the strips would be good for a block drive. I can see a lot of options for layouts.

The panto Linda used on this one with the semi circles is one of my favorites. 

The kitties definitely missed me while I was gone. They've been very clingy today. It's good to feel appreciated.

Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving next week!

Mel Quilts

Happy Friday, everyone! Meloney down in south Texas recently returned these three quilts that she quilted and bound for CiL.

This first top was sent in my Kathy B. I really like this scrappy basket weave pattern. I know I've thought about using it in a block drive before. 

This Red white and blue top is from Heather. I'm not sure if the hexy flowers were a functional necessity to cover up some kind of issue or just added for fun, but I like them.

This last scrappy blue top is from Priscilla. What do you think of the little punches of green, red, and orange? I wouldn't have thought to do that but I love how they jump out.

My 90-year-old great aunt passed away recently and her favorite color was blue. She had a steel blue casket picked out. She was a feisty little lady, I wouldn't mind being like her if I get to that age

Priscilla and Sundance

I received a box this week with no name or note containing 7 tops with backing fabrics and batting. If you sent it please comment or email coveredinlovetx@gmail.com to let me know!

Happy Friday, Quilters! Hope you're all doing well. This week I have 4 quilts to show you with tops made by Priscilla and quilted by Sundance. 

Butterfly and flower panto on this cozy blue and yellow quilt. Sundance Quilting have been great to work with and I recommend them if you need affordable and fast long arming services. 

Priscilla always makes great scrappy quilts. I'll probably be making a delivery of quilts up to the hospital next week.

Lately it has seemed like we are swamped with a lot of sicker patients than usual. It makes for long days as well as being pretty disheartening for everyone involved.  CiL is a nice way to feel like I'm at least doing something to help these people when there's nothing medical I can do. 

Sorry for the over exposed photos. Once I got started taking photos and was all sweaty I just wanted to push through and get them done. 

At long last I have posted a new block drive, so be sure to check that out at the bottom of the post. These are larger blocks than usual but I think they'll be really fun quilts. I can't wait to start seeing some of the blocks you put together!

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.

Priscilla's Pretties

Hello, friends! Louise here to share a few quilts I finished from Priscilla's blocks and tops.

This one came to me as big log cabin blocks, and I laid them out in Fields and Furrows. The autumnal fabrics are gorgeous!

This is a classic in scrappy lights and darks. I think this block is called Split Nines? Priscilla is great at using contrast in her quilts.

Here's a deep dive into the variety in Priscilla's stash. So many different fabrics, all playing nicely together.

Someone donated several yards of this cute piggy fabric, so I put it on the back. 

I'm 90% certain these bright blocks came from Priscilla's studio. My apologies if I got that wrong! 

It's a happy quilt no matter what.

I think this one is my favorite of the batch. Simple and modern, with the consistency of the little turquoise squares.

I hope you enjoyed this lovely group of quilts. Many thanks to Priscilla for her continuing generosity and support of Covered in Love!

Priscilla's Cozy Quilts

Happy Friday, Quilters! I have some tops to show this week from Priscilla, one of CiL's most prolific donors. This first one was quilted by me with a stipple. 

This first one came out a little washed out in the photos, but I love the homespun fabrics and the cute panels. It's a great color scheme, too.

Next up, this more modern looking top from Priscilla was quilted by Meloney on her long arm.

Thank you, ladies! This one is a BIG quilt.

And lastly a couple more I did the quilting on. I have been working recently to get some of the smaller tops done (Under 60" in at least one dimension.)

This one has scrappy spools of thread and one pretty, fancy lady.

And a jelly roll quilt. Again, the colors are a bit washed out but I really like them. The browns with blue and red are very complimentary. 

All of these quilts have already been taken up to the hospital to be passed out. Thank you so much!
