One top is ready for quilting; the other just needs an outer border to make it a little bigger (going shopping for that tomorrow; not enough large yardage pieces in my stash). These have definitely taken longer than I'd hoped to make, but I'm sure (unfortunately) there are still people in need.
This one is queen size.
This one will be a twin quilt. Hoping to find a border fabric and backing fabric on the sale rack tomorrow!
I have a friend who has graciously volunteered to quilt the top quilt; I'm going to brave quilting the lower one on my home machine. Happily the fabric is busy, so my quilting won't be seen too much!
I still have more blocks and will continue assembling them into tops, but they may go to other charity efforts depending on how soon I can finish them. I hope no one who sent me blocks minds...
p.s. Linking up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict's "Can I get a whoop whoop Friday"...talk about a prolific quilter for people in need...if you haven't checked out her blog, make sure you do! It seems like she finishes several quilts a week and I'm envious!
Great job...love the outcome.

Beautiful tops, Ellie! Wonderful work for a good cause!! And if you'd like to send the second one to me, I'll gladly quilt it and send it back to you...
ReplyDeleteWhoop whoop!!
Beautiful tops - love the plaid in the first one!
ReplyDeleteI didn't question any of your decisions. They both look great. Good for you!
