Three More Donation Quilts
1 Attachment(s)
I've made a bunch of these the last two years. All 3.5" squares, and these have pieced backs and bindings as well. I've used a lot of scraps, but there are many more to use! The quilts are 62" x 74". I'll be taking them to the agency where I donate them later this week--just in time for their holiday giving.

A lot of work but the recipients will be thrilled with those lovely quilts!
|
lots and lots of repetitive sewing there but oh so lovely. Way to go!!

I like them.
When someone says "quilt" - something like that comes to my mind. |
Nice quilts ... love all the colors.
|
Love them all! So good of you to do this.
|
Great gifts! Glad you put the scraps to good use. Thrift is a virtue.:D
|
Wonderful donation quilts! What a nice person you are.
|
Double sided...double the love.
|
Beautiful quilts and backs too. Love all the colors used.
|
The quilts are beautiful! I hate to admit I don’t know what leaders and enders means but it sounds very useful for using up scraps.
|
Wow - beautiful!!!! Wish i was that productive! Sometimes even just one donation quilt (or any quiit for that matter) takes me forever.
|
I love those! They look so cozy and inviting to wrap up in. Someone who gets one is going to be very happy! Thank you.

Really like your donation quilts!
|
Thanks for showing your lovely patchwork quilts! I like the white or light squares beside the colorful squares. Looks like the other side of the quilt is more scrappy with all colors playing together. Thanks for sharing your projects! I have never done a scrappy quilt but now I feel inspired to start one. I like to buy 5"charm squares, so this would be a great project to give them a home. :))
|
Wonderful quilts and will be greatly appreciated.
|
I know your beautiful quilts are appreciated--Nice job! Thanks for sharing.

Enders are ones you can use after , although I've never had a problem once I've gotten started chain piecing. Eventually all the 2 patches add up to 4P, 9P, etc. So you are essentially making a second quilt as you make your current one.

you have made some pretty quilts there and you are so gracious to donate. hope others get years of warmth fro
m them! |
Beautiful quilts for your holiday donations.
|
quilts. Great that you can make them quickly, use up scraps, have fun doing it and feel good giving them away!
|
That's some serious sewing! Beautiful, front and back!
|
Love those scrappies
|
I love scrappy quilts! These are beautiful and those that are gifted these will treasure them for life. What a blessing you are to someone this time of the year.
|
Wow, great job with those!
|
Very nice quilts and such a great way to use up scraps and for such a great cause. Kudos to you for all the work you do and I am sure it will bring a smile to someone's face and they will be appreciated so much.

Wonderful! There are going to be some very happy (and warm!) people out there.

Great quilts! Lots of work, but I love the idea of leaders and Enders.
|
I'm a huge fan of patchwork. They are wonderful. I am sure they will be well received. They will bring a smile to someone and keep them warm. Keep up the great work.
|
Gorgeous. I just love these scrappy quilts. The recipients will enjoy being snuggled in all of that color and happiness.
|
Those look so warm and inviting. They are sure to be loved.
|
Lots of work sewing all those squares together. These quilts are so pretty the recipients will never know they were made with left over fabric. |
Angelia, those quilts are beautiful! Super cozy and lovely colors.
I'm just finding out about leaders and enders (on this board info) and am going to start. |
You're amazing! And wonderful! Thank you for your thoughts and deeds.
|
Those are wonderful, some people are going to be very lucky!
|
I love all the colorful blocks against the white, they really stand out. Nice quilts and so nice of you to donate your skills, time, and fabrics. ....I have a sister that lives in SW Missouri!
|
Great use of scraps! I love them all and the recipients will love them!
