More quilts donated!

Some months ago we asked guild members to contribute a particular style of block made from their child-friendly scraps, and the response was tremendous! (Click here for the pattern.)
You'll see more blankets made from these blocks as they are finished being quilted and bound. Stitchers who participated in our February Make A Blanket Day pieced 9 or 10 tops using this pattern.

We just completed another heartstrings quilt. Because we piece them on muslin, we back them only with flannel or they get very heavy. This one has some wonderful quilting by Joe -- click on the photo to enlarge it so you can see it better. You could spend a long time checking out all the different fabrics, too.
Marion R. has made another embroidered block quilt. The overall photo didn't come out well, but here's a closeup of one of the blocks. Each block featured a child from another part of the world wearing traditional dress. As always, it's great quilt!
We also received several quilts based on squares (what a wonderful way to use up scraps!). This is an Easy Squares quilt made from one of the kits the Linus committee makes.
Here's another squares quilt.
And this is a rail fence made from donated fabric. It's a very cuddly quilt!
Thank you to all the guild and community members who have helped make these quilts. Often so many people contribute to making a single quilt that I don't know who all was involved and cannot thank them individually -- but know that they are very much appreciated!
