The Last Two Step from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I was really getting bored with the Two Step quilts so I decided to just get them all sewn up and finished. I knew these quilts were all going to look very similar and was concerned how quickly I would lose interest. But I stuck to it until the end of the pile!

I think one person actually sent in most of the blocks for this quilt. When I can, I try and keep them together so the quilts look more like they were planned. Stephanie sent in the large autumn colored backing fabric. It wasn't quite large enough ...

Jewel Box - First Quilt Finish and More from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I had so many quilts to share this week but I just didn't have the energy to write up a blog post. With it being Friday, I thought a special post was needed. Today we have the first finish from the current block drive. I also added a couple finishes from previous block drives.

Cheryl actually sent in this finished quilt top made from the Jewel Box blocks. I love how she used just purple and green blocks. The diagonal setting is nice too.

There could not have been a better backing than the fabric sent in by Nann ...

More Autumn Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

It is finally feeling like fall around here. I think all of our Two Steps blocks are made into quilt tops. Now I just need to get them quilted and shared. We just might get these done before winter comes along!

I still have a few more fall themed panels that I have been incorporating with the Two Step blocks. This panel came from Sephanie. She also sent in the lovely leaf backing material.

Another lovely Two Step finish. Nann provided the lovely backing for this one. We have now finished 19 quilts from out last block drive. I know ...

Autumn Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I think I promised to write this post for my Friday finishes. But I see I didn't hit the publish button.

Better late than never I guess!

I shared this fun quilt top in an earlier post. I received a bunch of already pieced strips from Marci. I decided to use them as sashing and just cut some large squares from various fall-colored leftovers from the last block drive.

I think it turned out really nice!

Dorothy sent in this lovely floral with the brown background. I thought it worked beautifully on this quilt.

This quilt measures 54 x ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Two Step Block Drive from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I can't believe it is already time to announce the next block drive for Many Hands and Many Hearts. I am nowhere near finished with the last blocks from our Veteran drive. But I will talk more on that in another post.

This time we are working with fall/autumn colors.

Here is the block we will be making. This block was made by Holly - I gave her a head start and this is the first block she created.

For each block you will need the following fabric cuts.

Qty 1 5" square in a fall fabric print (sunflower ...
