Charity quilts

At the moment I'm working on 40 lap quilts for an old folks care home. I have had a lot of stuff hoarded for charity quilts but lacked the enthusiasm to do more than one every six weeks or so. Now I have a definite goal as there are 40 residents.  

Most of the flimsies are done, I finished webbing these tops and putting on scrappy  borders today. I cut the borders at 2 1/4", same as the binding. I love a scrappy binding!

A sample batch of 6 have been delivered, including these .

I bound these two this week

There was a hiccup with this one, I cut the backing tooo small, so some orphan blocks came in handy!

These broken dishes blocks are my leader enders, cut from 2" strips 

I have been doing these for months now and have quite a stack, the aim is a queen size!

Some of the brown and green triangles left from The Big Green One

 that I have been chain piecing, now pressed.............

............... and sorted into sets of four: the sets are also going round the block on the machine table!

Now chain piecing the pinwheels.There is a mess of clipped dog ears on the floor!

I had four patches left too-now made into 72 sets 16 patches .  I will be making two quilts using the pinwheels. The ugly greens in this one need a zing, I'm thinking of setting these 'dancing' with red. It will make up a second quilt to go on the back of The Big Green One-should make for interesting free motion quilting!
