Giving Love Quilt or #7, is complete!

This is the 3rd Giving Love Quilt I've made, you can read about why I made another here.  It's for my cousins' daughter, Ellen.

I love the sunlight streaming through the quilt back.  Below is a close-up of the Dragonfly panto that is my current favorite.

What time is it?

It's binding time!  These six quilts need binding!  Two are queen-size and the others are lap quilts.  I better get busy because my LAQ has six more; three will be ready at the end of June and three will be ready at the end of July.  

This pandemic has really kept me busy making quilts.  I'd rather be creating than binding, but, "Oh, Well"!

Giving Love Quilt Top, or a #7 Please

Recently I did a quilt giveaway for 4 of my cousins.  I have many cousins, about 50, but these 4 are special.  I sent an email showing the 8 quilts I was willing to part with and asked them to choose 1 or two.  Ginny chose 1, Chris chose 2, Karen picked 3, and I didn't hear from Ellen.  The quilts were mailed off; then weeks later I got an email from Ellen, she'd picked a quilt and didn't hit send on her mail.  There was only one quilt left and I asked if she'd accept it instead of her 1st choice. 
She was happy to have it in her home.  But, I decided to make her another quilt, like the one she wanted.  

The quilt she wanted was one of the Giving Love Quilts I made as a sampler to show my guild.  This layout requires 13 12.5" blocks.  I already had 11 blocks on hand; so I made 2 more and assembled this quilt top for Ellen.

Giving Love Sampler Quilts

Ta Da!  These are the two Giving Love Sampler Quilts I made to show my guild.  You can read about the project here.  I hope they like my idea if they don't, I still have two new quilts to give away.

Giving Love Quilt Tops

I decided to come up with another layout for my quilt's charity quilts.  This version is super easy, you need 13 12.5" blocks and 12 12.5" HSTs.  The blocks I used were from the guilds BOM program.  Every month we have a different block and ask members to make one and donate it to our Charity Quilt Challenge.  Every month I make 4, 2 to donate and 2 to keep for my own use.  I really like how these turned out.  If you want to make your own Giving Love Quilt, you can find the tutorial here.

If you're curious, below is the previous version of the TVMQG Charity Quilts.  It uses 12 BOM blocks and 2.5" strips and 1.75 yards of fabric.  This tutorial can be found here.
