Quilts from kits

Recently we've been making Quick Strippie quilts using donated fabrics and Mary's pattern. Cute aren't they? And SO EASY AND FAST!! This one has racing cars as the focus fabric.
And here are two more quilts made from blocks made by guild members. These are like I Spy quilts for little kids. Thanks to everyone who donated blocks and helped put these quilts together.


This is an animal themed kit using the Easy Attic Windows pattern -- instead of a y-seam in the window blocks, there's a half-square triangle in the corner. Easy, cute, fun!

Fun quilts!

This attic window quilt looks complicated, but it's very simple to make -- we use a half-square triangle in the corner of the block so there are no Y seams. This cute quilt was put together by a guild member from one of our kits that uses donated fabrics. Every window has an animal print. This quilter also did a great job and the two-tone binding is fun! (Sorry, the following 2 photos are sideways -- for the past couple days I have not been able to load a rotated photo.)
This baseball themed quilt was put together with some already-cut fabrics.
The next two quilts were dropped off at Sew Sassy for Project Linus. Both of them have soft, fuzzy minkee in some of the squares -- what a delight for a child to touch! This one has a puppy dog theme.
This dinosaur quilt is bright and really cute! It's just a panel with squares and an inner border, but it's a fabulous quilt!
Thank you to these anonymous quiltmakers! Your work is very much appreciated.

Angels and Dachsunds

Thanks to Glennys M and Theresa L, who made these two quilts. They look great!

Glennys made this angelic (excuse the pun) attic windows quilt from a kit made by Debbi D. It's lovely. In addition to stitching in the ditch around the windows, Glennys finished the quilting by making machine tacks. The tacks are star stitches done in variegated thread and it's great on this quilt -- it makes it look like stars around the angels. Click on the photo for a closeup of the tiny stars.

Theresa L made and quilted this kit. If you click on the photo you can see that the squiggles in the yellow are really dachsunds. A dog-loving child will be delighted to get this quilt!
