Hospice 11 and 12

Here are the other two just finished hospice quilts I mentioned I would show pictures of. The first is a zig zag quilt made entirely of scrap half square triangles. Someone donated a huge bag of 5 inch squares and this is where some of them went. I pieced the squares then Jane took them and pieced the top, JoAnn quilted it and then back to Jane to bind. Teamwork is great!!! The quilt reminds me of huge rick rack.



This next quilt is made out of string blocks that were a combined effort of several ladies at a sew in at our local library months ago. I cut the blocks in half and combined with the cream fabric and made it into this off center top. I then quilted it and this is one of the few charity tops that I went ahead and also did the binding. I love how this one turned out.



Bright sunny weather today but rain coming in tonight so guess I better get any errands run today.

Bless you all for the work on these quilts. I love the string block setting and never thought to do it that way. Good work.

I've used the 'half heartstring' method before when we only had a limited number of blocks (the plain fabric--but we'd used a novelty) and we needed to make the quilt a bigger quilt. Worked quite nicely, but I've never done your placement. Love it!
