Donated Sampler Blocks Finished

This stack of great sampler blocks were donated by a Marilyn, a member of the Tyler Modern Quilt Group.  She had made them for a blocks of the month and never turned them into anything.

I was delighted to inherit Marilyn's UFO and turn them into a quilt for Covered in Love! I simply enlarged the blocks with a textured black (something from the Grunge line with a lot of blue in it). Simple and striking!

The fabrics in the sampler blocks are really interesting and bright.   The quilt finished at 54"x72".

As always, anyone interested in contributing to Covered in Love can comment or email for an address.

UFOs, WIPs, blocks, tops, and of course finished quilts are all welcome! Also, this month I am collecting patchwork mosaic blocks.  You can find the tutorial post here.  Thanks, everyone!

Sewing on Donations

Happy Monday! I enjoying my next to last week of freedom before going back to work with sewing.  The wonderful ladies of the Tyler Modern Quilting Group have donated several WIPs and sets of blocks toward Covered in Love.

This top was finished and almost big enough, I just added some borders to bring it up a bit in size.  I was running low on the polka dot fabric so I had to improvise.  

I think I'll bind this one in black to pick up on this neat black fabric in some of the blocks. I have no idea what the pattern in called since I didn't piece it, but I'm calling it Chain Links.

I was also given a set of a dozen sampler blocks from a block of the month project.  I set these using a textured black with highlights of blue and grey in it. Don't the bright fabric glow against the black?

Remember, I am always accepting donations of quilts, tops, and blocks toward Covered in Love!  These comfort quilts are given to the family to take home when a patient passes away in my local hospital.

Starting this month I'm posting a request for specific blocks each month so if you want to help out you can make a block or two.  Find the post for this month here; we're making flying geese blocks.
