Finished this group of charity quilts this week. A few "doozies" :)

It was too hot this summer to actually quilt. I didn't want that much weight on my lap or around my head/neck/shoulders, etc. while working on them, so I waited til it turned cool to begin actually quilting much of anything. That happened this week.

These are mostly charity quilts that I finished within the last week. I'm hoping to distributing quite a few in December.

Some are donated tops and not always easy to work with, but I try to finish up anything worth finishing that is given to me. :)

A church gave me two double knit tops. I promised to finish them but have been putting it off because I don't even like touching it. This week turned cool, so I tackled them. Here they are. After trying to FMQ one of them, I opted for straight line quilting on the second. FMQ on double knit with flannel backing? Not easy!

The second one: While I was working on them I nicknamed them "Ugly 1" and "Ugly 2" but after completion, I suppose someone may want them. :) For sure, they will be warm and durable!

I also finished up a few more that I had previously made the tops for give-away purposes:

and a few more donated tops (lap quilt size) (the colors of these don't move me, --but hopefully someone will like them):

Wow, that's a pile of quilts! Polyester knit does wear like iron and they will keep someone warm for years to come. Great quilts and quilting!

I don't see any uglies among them at all! I think they look great!

Great job!

My Mother made quilts from double knit scraps. She didn't actually quilt them. They are all tied. After more washings than I care to count, they still look like the day she made them.

They look great, and you are to be commended for doing the double knit ones. They look good, too!
