    I am chair for the charity of our quilt guild. I make pre-cut block kits and top kits from donated fabrics for the ladies to pick up at meetings. When I get tops back I add backing, batting (the guild provides) and binding then someone else quilts them.
    When I have time I make tops also. I average about 18 tops a year for this group. Below are some of the tops I have made in the last 2 months.

    This is a Bonny Hunter design from her quiltville site.

    How generous of you to prepare all those kits to make such beautiful quilts. Your designs are so nice and I know the finished quilts will be loved.

    Oh they're terrific. They will be cherished!

    I especially love the blue one. Is that Bonnie Hunter's Delectable Mountains pattern?
