3 Quilts in New Homes

My closets are full and the quilts are threatening to mutiny. I hear them up there plotting and scheming to somehow get out and into new, loving homes. My home is loving, but they want to be the stars!

I have a new, great nephew and I made another Poky Little Puppy quilt using those soft panel books. Cut up and added sashing. This is the 3rd one I made, with another one on the way.

Then one of my favorite people at the local library told me about her parents who live with her and that they aren't mobile. I felt that I could cheer them up with some lap quilts. I pulled two from those closets and here they are. I gave them to her yesterday. I think I blew her mind!

This is an orphan block that I set on point and added strips to take it up to about 44" x 44". Sure to brighten her mom's day, right?

I'm always challenged to find a quilt for a man. So much of our quilter's fabrics are so "girlie." But I discovered one I made a few years ago using my cheater's Winding Ways pattern.

I wish they had been larger, but they will be fine for their laps. And also to bring some smiles and cheer to their days while Chandra works at the library.

I think I hear sounds coming from the closet from those left behind. Sheesh! "Wait your turn!"
