Charity Quilts

It seems that the month of July has been all about quilting for donation quilts.  The first charge for the Cotton Pickin' quilt guild was to make a quilt to be donated to CASA Jefferson for a child.  Since my 2 1/2" strips were multiplying rapidly, I chose to do the Scrappy Trips or Trip Around the World pattern.  It says to not worry about color or patterns, so it does look eclectic, no planned.  Here is the finish project quilted. 
 

Scrappy Trips

The Stitchy Fingers quilt guild had a charity sew day at the end of June.  We were to work on a quilt to be donated to charity.  I chose to put together blocks that I assembled as a leader and ender project for a quilt of valor.  For the blocks I chose to do Heartstring blocks.  I chose a navy blue to use as the common center strip.  I made 9 1/2" blocks.  I put together a previous quilt with a heart pattern.  This one I chose to do the diamond pattern.  Love the diamonds!  After I assembled the blocks, this is the result.


Quilt of Valor

The size of this quilt just met the requirements for the Quilt of Valor.  And it looked too plain.  So, I decided to add a couple of borders.

Now, to quilt the Quilt of Valor.  This one will go to a local quilt shop that is hosting a challenge.  I just love leader and ender projects.  It's amazing how you end up with a another quilt once you complete the pieces.

Have a quilty day!
