The benefit of a cold and rainy weekend is that it makes for a great quilting weekend. I got busy on some veterans quilts. I had 6 that I wanted to get done by Tuesday. I got 4 finished. Two that I'll share today and two that I am binding so I'll share them when they are completely done. This one was made by Clara. She loves the 3 yard quilt patterns and then she adds borders to bring them up to the size we need for the VA hospital. I quilted it with overall leaves. This one was pieced by Peg. She added the borders and sashing to some blocks from a scrappy block drive that the club did. She greatly improved this random set of blocks. There are two more that were quilted and I'll share them as soon as I get the bindings done. I also got the binding done on the big blue quilt but, with the rain, I couldn't photograph it this weekend. That will come later this week too! I've got the last 2 quilts loaded. This is another that I made and will need to bind. I can start quilting these today after we drop off my car to get that dent fixed. My batting scrap bin got full enough to make a giant dog bed. I'll pass this on to my friend for Richmond Animal League. I've also figured out something to do with some of the scraps from the house quilt! I can't wait to share when I get it done.
This week is all about more quilting, finishing up some tie dye shirts and making a label for the big blue quilt.

I love both of the veteran quilts in this post. I love scrappy quilts, and I have A LOT of orphan blocks that I need to turn into quilts. On my list for this year. And I'm looking forward to seeing what you make with your scraps from the house block quilt. I'm spending this week and next working on reorganizing my sewing room - in between doctor appointments and guild commitments. I'm hoping a better organized space will increase my productivity. I've got so many ideas and UFOs that I want to get completed this year. And Yikes it's already May! Enjoy your quilting week.

I really like what Peg did with those scrappy blocks. Meanwhile I am curious about your plan for the leftover house pieces.
