Cubs World Series and Suffolk Among the Stars quilts
 

Every year I donate a quilt to raise money for a local autism group that has helped my son. I read on the board that sports quilts often do well and since I live in the Chicago area and the Cubs won the World Series for the first time in 108 years, I thought this would be a good choice. It is my own design. I used a T-shirt for the Championship block and fleece for the backing. I hope it raises a lot of money.

The second quilt is Suffolk Among the Stars designed by Marilyn Foreman. I'm not crazy about the glitter in the fabric, so I will donate it to charity. Hopefully someone else will like it more than I do. Oh well, you can't like them all.

That border on quilt #2 is everything. Wow. Very pretty.

I'm a Cleveland fan so I will pass on any enthusiasm for the Cubs :)
I will sincerely say that your first quilt is very nicely done as well. I bet it makes a bundle. Your choice of backing is great , too.

Both are great but #2 steals the show!

Both quilts are beautiful. Especially love your first one.

both nicely done... love the colors in the second

2 wonderful quilts. The second is one I think I must do.

Nice job on both.

Both quilts look fantastic. The Cubs quilt should do well.

Very nice quilts. The second one should win a ribbon.

great quilts really like the second one!!!

both are beautiful, i love the second one, a lot!

Both are beautiful quilts.

If ou are a Cubs fan the first is super. I love the second one, the colors, the design everthing. BrendaK

I'm very intrigued by the Suffolk Under the Stars pattern. Am I correct in thinking that the star centers are 4-patch kaleidoscopes of the border fabric? Very cool!

While i'll choose my own fabrics, I love this pattern!

You did a great job on both quilts.

Both quilts are pretty. I like the 2nd one and the colors.

Cubs all the way!

I admire your gorgeous work! Both of these quilts are amazing.

Beautiful donation quilts. I love the 2nd one.

I think you did very nice on both of them. Love your design on the cubs quilt and I don't see anything wrong with the pattern or fabrics you used on the 2nd one. Very nicely done.

I like both of them, you did a fantastic job!

Great job on those!

What a great use of those four-patch posy blocks. Very nice!

I agree, the CUBS quilt will do well, especially this year. Great choice. The blue is also pretty and love how the stars extend into the borders. I just used a kit with a bit of sparkle (fairy frost type) for a recovery quilt.

I am giggling about not liking them all. We would be in serious trouble if we liked and kept all the quilts we made! I like the glitter in fabric but the glitter often looses it "sparkle" after washing. Well, that has been my experience anyway. Like both quilts for all of the reasons everyone else does, a winner of a ball team and beautiful colors in quilt two and work well done!

great quilts

Great quilts, Love the one you designed.

The Cubs quilt is a great tribute to them. I hope it makes a lot of money for your group.
The second quilt is stunning - the colors gorgeous and the pattern is really interesting.

Second quilt should've been posting with a drum roll!!! It is awesome!
Go Cubbies!

Yes, you are correct. It is also called a 4-patch posy block.

I love the second quilt, you can donate it to me anytime!

I'm sure the Cubs quilt will make lots of money. Your second quilt is gorgeous,nicely done.

being from Ohio - ditto

Both are just beautiful , love the blue one :)

Oh I tend to love gold in fabrics, so the second one is my favorite!!! I'm making a small oriental quilt with print of cats now that has gold.

Well you may not like #2 but I like them both, especially #2!

Love your cubs quilt. Thanks for donating!

Do you have a pattern for the cubs quilt? I love it and want to make one for my grandson. It is stunning!

great job on both quilts !!!!!!!!
