Some Charity Finishes

 It's been a while. But I did a blitz on some of my projects the past two months, and got a ton of stuff done.  First, one of my guilds was challenged to a quilt-off, to see how many quilties (small, 24" square quilts for babies) we could each make in a month.  I decided to go all in and try to help my guild - and I made 36 quilties!!  Holy cow. And now I am so burnt out with binding baby quilts, I'm taking a break :)  But here are some of my contributions to the cause.

 

9 at a time on the longarm!!  There are a few oldies here, which have been sitting around waiting to be quilted for a while
An old One Block Wonder challenge, using stripes. I played with just a little section of fabric, because I didn't expect to like it much.  It came out better than I expected, but was about 1" short. So a super wide 1" binding around all 4 sides fixed that right up :)
The pattern is an adapation of Anita's Arrowhead. Using 19" blocks makes a single 24" block, perfect for a quiltie.
A look at the first 30 or so, ready for donation. On display at the top, among others pictured here, is a Tula Pink rabbit.  Sad to use that fabric, but given how long it's been in my stash, it was time to let it go.
These were my 4 leftover blocks from Bonnie Hunter's Indigo Way last year.
This was a short mystery from the M50 mystery at the end of last year. Added a couple of borders to the block, to make it the right size for a quiltie.
I can't recall when I made this one, but it's a disappearing hourglass block (4 of them).
