What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This is the last of my A Quilted Gift finishes for this week.

This is a simple sashed 9-patch with a cowboy border. There was enough of these fabrics in the donation bins to make 3 of this quilt, with more left over. I put one together and made up kits for two more. The kits will make up quilts identical to this one, but with different backing fabrics. I don't think I'm going to quilt this one, I'm going to hand it in and let another Guild member do the quilting. I included the strips for ...

Horse panel quilt top

I have been working on creating quilts for my guild's charity quilt project -- A Quilted Gift. Among the donated fabrics for the project was a large bin FULL of Western/horse/cowboy prints which I have been creating quilts (and kits) from. My latest finished top is super scrappy with lots of 3.5" squares. This design is a variation on a pattern from Cut the Scraps.
