I've really been trying to quilt each day. I hope to have a record number of donations this year and know that I typically get more quilting done before summer arrives. At the moment, I have 15 finished tops that need binding. As you can see, most of the bindings are ready - I just need to get the tops quilted.
There are also quilts that need the binding hand sewn but I have finished three! Yes, the next three Simple Square Quilts are finished and I'm beginning to see a pattern in the way I've quilted them - loops or double loops for all three! What can I say, I enjoy quilting loops! I'm not really working on quilts in any given order - it's just whichever one grabs my attention next.
The 3rd quilt in the series, Simple Squares - Bright Yellow with Colored Circles is really bright and fun. It is one of the larger quilts so far in this series.
The closeup pictures are more true to color.

The fourth quilt, Simple Squares - Blue with Colored Circles on White is also larger than some in this series. The size of each quilt depends on the fabric I have.
The back is a Grunge - Hits the Spot - Red, from my stash.
Size: 56" by 72"
Thread: Glide 50-wt, top - 10430 Battleship
back - 70001 Cardinal

Simply Squares - Pink with Many Colors is the fifth quilt finished in this series. (There are more coming.) The back is a blue print which seems to have a purple cast. For some reason, this quilt makes me think of bubblegum.

I'm hoping to have 40 donation quilts this year. It's just a personal goal so we'll see how it goes.
