More Charity Quilt Finishes

I love taking my workshop and blog samples and getting them quilted (for free) by my quilt guild friend. I bind them and off they go to local charity groups. We donate hundreds of quilts each year and my 2 dozen or so is a drop in the bucket!

Here is the lineup for May/June. The first is a very pink, girlie quilt. The center block was part of my Beginner's Mariner's Compass workshop (which I've retired). I pulled pink and more of that heart fabric and finished it off (after Jeannie C. quilted it)

Valentine's Mariner's Compass: 38" x 38"

The next is a quilt top I stitched about 10 years ago from the Coverlets Collection by Windham Fabrics. I decided I had waited long enough. It is a bit more sophisticated and will probably become a lap quilt for a wheelchair bound person. This is my version of Stack 'n Whack, letting the rotary cutter and ruler decide where they should land. I used a 60 degree triangle ruler for this.

The next uses an older novelty collection called Sockey Monkey by Windham Fabrics. I squeezed the life out of the remaining fat quarters I had (and pulled from other collections). The border is the only piece of fabric in my stash that worked (it has a school theme with pencils). This uses a Kaleidoscope ruler and is easy to cut and piece. A long ago workshop (I no longer carry the ruler). You can also find this pattern in my Etsy shop in several other fabric combinations!

The next used up the very last of that cute animal print from 2009 - Baby Safari by Benartex. These were leftovers from my Twisted Hexagon workshop. This is about 34" x 34". Cute, huh?

I eeked out just enough fabric to make 7 Baby Blocks with y-seams. Beautifully quilted by Karin R. of my local Reston Quilt Guild. I had to add those four 60 degree diamonds in order to get all the blocks in!

Baby Blocks: 36" x 40"

And one more using my current favorite EPP block, the Pentagon Wreath. It is such fun to capture a special motif in the center hexagon. I used up the remaining background prints for this. I am sure some little child will adore these fun Chickadees, don't you?

 Do you think I made a dent in my stash? Not on your life! Back to the sewing machine!
