Life has been a little busy around here but I do have three more donation quilts finished. Two are Simply Squares Quilts. It may be hard to believe but there are still more Simply Square Quilts to come.
Simply Squares - Orange with Black Print is 56" square.
I found an orange fabric for backing that almost matches the orange on the front.
Size: 56" by 56"
Thread: Glide 50-wt, top - Autumn #50172
Batting: Dream Cotton
Quilting: Double Loop
Quilting: Double Loop
Simply Squares - Bugs is 48" square. When I was kitting quilts, I must have been interrupted in the middle of cutting this one (or I can't count!). When I began to sew, I found that I did not have enough pieces. I had already cut another quilt with the leftover bug fabric, so I used the squares I had. This is the smallest Simply Squares quilt.
Size: 48" by 48"
Thread: Glide 50-wt, Lemon Ice #80607
Batting: Dream Cotton
Quilting: Sting of Loops
Swimmers 1 uses fabric that I acquired from my friend Colleen's stash when she passed away. I thought the print was cute, so I didn't want to cut it up. However, the piece was large, so I decided to make two quilts. Swimmers 2 is coming.
The body of the quilt is quilted with a horizontal meander.

I now have 35 finished quilts to donate this year. I''ll be on retreat soon and may finish hand sewing the binding on more quilts. However, I may decide to just work on something different. Yesterday I ignored the piles of quilts in progress and started this new one - it just felt right!
