Charity Quilts

I finished 2 Charity quilts last week.  This one is baseball themed.

It's the Chickens vs. the Foxes. I dressed them in baseball outfits.

I belong to a group who makes kids quilts we donate to a hospital. The names fabric was up for grabs at our last meeting. I took a small piece and incorporated it into a roster for each team.

I designed my own baseball field with an egg for the ball and a bat.

Here's the back with the baseball quilting design showing up well.

Here is quilt number 2. It started out as one yard of white with frogs fabric.

What to do with it? I used blue and green HSTs to make "lily pads" to go around the center strip.

I found a frog image and enlarged it and made an applique out of it. I finished it off with a water meander quilt design. Fast and simple.

Old truck panel

I used a random snowflake design in the background for this quilt.
I quilted this for my friend. I used a dark gray thread for most of it.

She used a gray flannel for the border. It looks like velvet with the quilting.

She got the panel from Missouri Star Quilt Co.  It's digitally printed. The detail is amazing.
 I want one. I want this one actually since I already quilted it.

I put some straight lines in the buildings for the planks.

Here's a full view after all the quilting.

I put a cotton candy design on the roofs using white thread. I free motion quilted the snow mounds.

This is a weird view of the quilt.
