A Few Veteran Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

We still have lots of the RWB Churn Dash to turn into Veteran Quilts but today I want to share a couple quilts that came through other means.

This first one was made by my friend Jeanne. She did a little "shopping" in the MHMH stash. I love what she did with this eagle panel.

The panel and I think the eagle fabric all came from Karen.

Local quilter Laura quilted in some stars that really show up in the light-colored star fabric.

This quilt measures about 50 x 60.

Jan sent in this lovely RWB quilt top. I liked ...

A Package from Beth from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Okay, it was actually two packages from Beth.

It was like Christmas when they arrived!

The first box I received had four quilts all made by Beth.

The first one I saw was this cute dinosaur quilt. The center of the quilt has the cutest green and turquoise dinosaur print.

This one will definitely be going to Bags of Love in their September shipment.

A fun frog quilt was next.

These two quilts show that you can simply take a fun fabric and add some coordinating borders, and you have a great quilt for a kid.

I thought this design ...

Finishes Galore from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Oh My Goodness - I have lots of finishes for you today!

This first one is another Happy Block Quilt. This one was not made from the block drive - this quilt top was sent in by Mari. The little woodland animals in the centers are adorable.

Thanks to Deana, we had the perfect flannel for the back - more woodland animals!

This one measures 32 x 40".

The blocks for this space themed quilt did come from the block drive.

Both of these fabrics for the back were given to me by my friend Julie a long time ago. It was nice ...

Just Two from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

This week is becoming another crazy one for me.

It is also a crazy week for my friend Janet so I only have two finishes to share with you. I am hoping to get more photos done later this week - I think I have a least ten more finishes to share!

I did finish up this Two Step quilt. I am hoping all of the blocks are on their way to me and I can finish up making all the quilts for this drive.

This is the 15th quilt we have completed for the drive. I am hoping we are ...

Friday Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Oops...I forgot to write this post before I went to bed last night. I have been a bit busy lately...

We are up to 86 finishes from this block drive! This one is all about cars.

Janet laid out the blocks. We decided to make this ne a bit bigger for a tween or teen.

We put this fabulous car print sent in by Nancy on the back. Local quilter Laura finished this one for me. She even sewed on the binding!

This one measures 56 x 64".

We have almost cleaned up the happy block themed stacks. (There ...

Another Handful of Quilts from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I have another handful of quilts to share today.

Almost all of these quilt tops were donated by one of you.

I appreciate these lovely tops so much!

This lovely pinwheel quilt top was sent in by Nann.

Elizabeth sent in this fun shoe and handbag print that looked fabulous with this top. I did have to add a bit of red to make it large enough.

I think this quilt measures about 60 x 70".

Hoq cute is this colorful butterfly quilt top sent in by Mina. The turquoise background was perfect for all those pink and purple butterflies ...

More Block Drive Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Now that my space for Many Hands and Many Hearts is a little more organized, I am getting back to some of the blocks from the current and previous block drives.

Here is the 13th quilt from our two-step block drive. The blocks for this quilt were pulled from a stack that ad more novelty prints in the 5" square.

We had to use this fun sunflower and cat faces print sent in by Dorothy for the backing.

This quilt measures 60 x 68".

Janet laid out these blocks for me. Quilt #14 measures 51 x 68".

Stephanie sent in ...

Some Two Step Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

The receipt of Two-Step blocks has slowed. We have actually done a pretty good job of keeping up with them. I think many of them are just waiting for me to quilt them up.

Here are a few that were completed this week.

Here is Two Step Quilt #10. I admit these all look very much the same from a distance. But up close, you can see the details that make them unique.

On the back is another beautiful autumn leaf print sent in by Stephanie.

This quilt measures 51 x 68".

On Quilt #11, I added in a piece ...

It Takes a Village from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I can't thank enough for all the quilt tops we have received here at Many Hands and Many Hearts. It has been a bit of a challenge to get them all quilted in a timely manner.

But we continue to work away at them!

This quilt top was sent in by Mina. I think she sent in a total of three in this design. It is definitely a design I want to try.

This turquoise fabric sent in by Karen wasn't quite big enough, but I just added in a chunky scrap I had to make it work ...

UT Quilt Finish from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

Last year our girl asked if I would make our SIL a football quilt. Well of course! We love Kenny! And this quilt is proof of that! There's a little story behind the quilt I'll share with you. DH and I are Texas A&M graduates. And Kenny is a diehard Longhorn fan. Anyone that keeps up with college football know that there is a legendary rivalry between the two schools. They took a 13 year

Sue's Quilts from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Today's quilts were all donated by Sue. She has a friend who just happens to have kids who live here in Eugene so her quilts hitch a ride and get delivered right to my living room. It sure saves her a lot of freight charges and she is able to send completed quilts. All I have to do is attached a label.

This one is so bright and happy. I put it in the teen pile. I have always loved this pattern - it is a great one for jelly rolls. Sorry, I don't know that name of it ...

Back to Happy Block Quilts from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

There are still a number of Happy Blocks to assemble into quilts so I spent some time one afternoon to make some quilt tops from them.

First up is this cute infant or toddler quilt made from baby-ish prints.

This one measures 40 x 40".

I had this adorable backing that fit the quilt nicely. It has a very fun vintage feel.

This is Happy Quilt #79.

Quilt #80 is this cute cowboy/cowgirl themed quilt.

Wendy sent in this adorable cowboy boot print. This quilt is also 40" square.

For Quilt #81, I used some precut squares I received ...

Lots of Two Step Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I thought I only had four finished Two Step quilts to share today but I was surprised by five.

These quilts go together so quickly!

I will admit that most of these quilts made with these blocks all look the same. I even find it hard to differentiate them and I get to see them up close. So I was really pleased that I received some fall-themed panel pieces to make some of the quilts more unique.

This lovely one is Two Step quilt #5. The panel was sent in by Stephanie. The blocks used in this quilt all have ...

Some Two Step Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I have been receiving lots of Two Step blocks in the post so I have been busy making quilts from them.

Here are a few...

This one was sent as a quilt top by Holly. There are so many pretty sunflower prints in this one.

Holly also sent some nice backing fabrics in her package. Including this pretty pumpkin colored one. I love it on the back of her quilt.

If you are keeping track, this is Two Step quilt #2 and measures 46 x 64".

Lots of the blocks I receive have pretty leaf prints in the 5" square ...

Finally, a lot to Share from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Lots of quilts to share today. Some of these tops are made by me but many have been donated by generous hearts.

First up is this cozy all flannel quilt. I received a bunch of flannel bits, so I cut a bunch of it up into 6" squares. Janet then decided on a pleasing layout for them.

Here is the back. I don't have a huge stash of flannel fabric but I did have two that had an outdoor theme. Neither were big enough but I made them work. Local quilter Laura quilted this one up and sewed on ...

Two Step Quilt #1 from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Sorry, I am posting a finish a little late today. My heat pump went out and the temperatures inside my house have been way too hot. It is hard to work much but thankfully I am getting a new system on Tuesday. Then I will be back on track!

I thought I would share the first quilt made using the Two Step blocks. I didn't make this top - Cheryl sent it in already sewn up. All of her blocks have the same pretty leaf print where the 5" square goes.

I used this pretty twig print on the back ...

Big and Little from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

It is always fun to see what is included in all the packages I receive.

I often get instantly inspired!

Jeanine sent in this lovely rail fence quilt top. I love the pretty corals with those pretty aquas.

I sent it to local quilter Laura and she quilted in some fun twisty quilting.

I had this pretty pink fabric for the backing. It really shows the quilting nicely.

This quilt measures about 48 x 56".

In the package with the quilt top, Jeanine included the leftovers. I knew I had a piece of a solid aqua that was just the ...

Pretty Scrap Quilts from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I have been working really hard to work thru the queue of quilt tops I have waiting to be quilted. I was so happy to be delivering 6 out to local longarm quilters over this week.

But I will soon need to redirect and start putting together the Two Step blocks that are starting to arrive. I think I already have enough blocks for two or three quilts!

This lovely quilt top was made by Jean. I think the pattern is called Stunning Stars.

I finished quilting it just in time to make this week's delivery to the hospital ...

All in Good Time Quilt from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

This is my oldest UFO. I think I started it about 6 years ago. I found the floral print in a Texas shop in San Angelo and knew I was going to use this pattern. It's free here Spring Splash. I don't generally gravitate towards quilts with only 2 or 3 fabrics (although I do like ginghams quilts), but I thought this was a fun way to show off a fabric you really love. I've made a few versions of

I have so much Gratitude from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Many of the quilts that Many Hands and Many Hearts donate to various organizations are not made from the quarterly block drives. We also rely on tops or finished quilts that are gifted by quilters from all over. It is always nice to see them arrive on my porch - either by post or by person.

Today I have three quilt tops that were sent by post.

This first quilt top was made by Elana. I sent it off to local quilter Cindy and she quilted it with some fun loops and hearts.

Isn't this backing adorable!

This quilt measures ...
