Quilts for Charity

Yes, I have closets full of unfinished quilts - aka, tops. And they are sad, so I told them they could be quilted and given to some folks who need some tender, loving care because they're sick. You should have heard all the yelling and singing and clapping from those closets!

Here are a few I've finished recently and are destined to go to Hopes and Dreams which then gives them to folks with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). They were beautifully quilted by Kathy Gray of Manassas, VA. 

Bubbles and Hexagons is the first. These are half-hexagons which are cut from 10" layer cake squares, but are easily cut from 4-1/2" strips. NO y-seams! This was a popular workshop for several years.

The next one is my Sweet Baby Logs quilt using black, white and red prints. If you click that link, you will see it in several colors. Yes, I made them all. The log cabin is a favorite of many quilters!

I'll share one more (of the 7 I've donated this month). It's my 7 Sisters pattern in batiks, also from a popular workshop that I've since retired. As you can see, I had to get creative with the blue/turquoise background fabrics - they work! These are large blocks.

I'll be back in a day or so to share a few more! These quilts could hardly stay still for me to photograph them in my back yard last week. Big smiles all around!
