Still Alive and Kicking and Quilting up a Storm!

Before I left the south, I put together some kits so that I could finish a bunch of baby quilts when I got back  north!  I have managed to complete seven tops in 14 days so I think that is rather impressive.  They are a bit repetitive but I enjoy all the scrapiness,  This one is my standard baby quilt of 40 inches square and had.  Easy to make as the striped secctions are made up of 2 in wide stripa which frinish to the same size as thosse 5 inch squares.  It is basically an "I Spy" kind of quilt.








This is one of my enhanced "potato chip" quilts where I substitute and 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 in white square for the middle of the block instead of the 2 1/2 wide pieces.  I really like this block a lot!!  This is a pretty good sized quilt and will finish to about 50 x 72 when I add borders (after I machine quilt it).


This is one of 2 quilt tops I have made for the local neonatal unit and is 24 x 40.  



Two more of the baby quilts.

A stack and whack quilt in purples that is all finished but it hasn't gone to anyone yet.  Daughter is supposed to find a friend who is into purple as it is very purple!


This was made from "orphan" blocks from two different quilts made quite some time ago.  I have surrounded them withh wonky long cabin blocks made from the tons of brown scraps I have.  I gave a way a whole bunch at quilt club as well as a bag of  orphan blocks that I couldn't stand looking at again.    They were quickly pick up off the free table!  I don't think I am going to donate this oe as I like it and it is fairly good sized.  We shall see.
