Are you looking for a unique way to turn old clothes into something beautiful and functional? Then memory quilts are perfect for you!
Finally, I had a chance to put together a post with all the recent finishes. There is a little bit of everything in this post! This Happy Zoo Animals quilt is the 75th quilt we made from the block drive. This one has been out getting the binding sewn on by Chris. I don't think this will be the last zoo animal quilt we see; I think there is a still a small stack of blocks. I love, love, love this backing fabric that Helen sent in. This quilt measures 48" x 54". Next up is this lovely green and coral patchwork quilt. Kat (Covered in Love) had sent me a box of smaller bits of fabric that she wasn't sure if she would use and inside were a number of 10" squares from about three fabric collections. I thought they would all work together so I just ended up sewing them all together. No cutting required! I had a nice rosy pink fabric that Deana found for me at a local estate sale that worked for the backing. This quilt measures 50" x 60". Last week, I also received a couple quilts from local quilter Laura. Nancy sent in this colorful scrappy quilt top. I love the swirl pattern Laura quilted on it. A bright surprise on the back. Nann had sent me a bunch of fun vintage fabrics eons ago and this one looked great on this quilt. This quilt measures 40" x 56". This quilt actually started as some orphan blocks also sent in by Nancy. In the same box she sent me some yardage of the background fabric. It didn't take me long to turn those blocks into this sweet 50" square quilt. I sent it Laura to quilt it. She always does such a great job! On the back, I went with this starry blue fabric. I did have to turn part of the fabric on its side but I don't think too many people will notice. Here is another quilt top sent in by Nancy. The brown and pink really make a sweet quilt. She also sent in this super soft flannel for the back. This quilt is about 36" square. There should be a lot to share again next week. I am hoping to receive some more finished quilts from the longarm quilters. Plus, I have a big stack of quilts ready for me to sew on the binding. Also, in case you missed it, I announced the next block drive in the last post. We are going two-stepping!

How many charm square packs do you have at home? I don't collect charm squares, I don't buy everything that is new or I like and still I have 4 charm packs! So if you don't know how to use them, here is an idea: 3D pinwheels. You can make this design as scrappy as you want (using your scraps), but I think the assorted squares of a collection you find in a pack make the design even more beautiful. If you don't know how to sew 3D pinwheels, here are a few short instructions. 3D Pinwheel Tutorial For one

I told myself I'd never make another puff quilt. Yet, here I am.....sharing about my second puff quilt. (haha!) Don't get me wrong, I loved the process of making my first puff quilt, which you can read about here, but I honestly thought that we'd never have the need for another one. Well, over the last year, I slowly forgot how much work they are (haha) and I started getting the itch to do the process all over again! Peter uses my original puff quilt alllllll the time. He loves the weight of it, but his only complaint was that it wasn't long enough. I made the
