I've been doing a lot of quilting but only have one finish to show. There are a couple of others but they are gifts so I'll wait to share them.
The finish is the second Simply Squares Series Quilt, Turquoise with Yellow.

I spent last weekend on retreat with friends. We had a great time as usual and were all glad to make it home before the blizzard hit Sunday night!
I finished a few quilt tops during the retreat. The first top is a Simply Squares Quilt, Red with Navy Polka Dot. The navy is not as dark as the photo appears.
I also put together Simply Squares Quilt, Red with Navy print. Again, the navy is not as dark as it appears.
This Take Five Quilt will also be a donation. It's been years since I last used this pattern.
Another donation quilt is this Double Irish Chain.
While at the retreat, K gifted me some flannel to use in donation quilts. One of her friends received this flannel from someone and K thought I would use it. I'll try!
Yes, there are 8 good sized pieces and none of them go together! I'm trying to match up cottons from my stash with each flannel.
When I finished the last gift quilt today, I decided to use the sports flannel print from the first photo of flannels above, and make Flannel Quilt Series - Blue with Sports Print.
When I stated the Simply Square Series, I envisioned 3 or 4 quilts. I think there will be more. And now there is a Flannel Quilt Series. I think I need more hours each day to quilt!
Health Update: We are both doing pretty good!











I'm glad you both are staying healthy, good health is a true blessings! The little quilts are very cute, simple patchwork is a perfect pattern. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteNot one, but two series of donation quilts, Jeanne? Go, you! Congrats on finishing up the first of them and thanks for the health update tacked on at the end. Always good to hear that you and Ray are doing well!
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy, even if you haven't finished some of those.
