I’ve been busy! In the midst of the busy-ness, I’ve completely ignored posting what I’m doing, but I’ll fix that now.<\/p>\n

First of all, a quilter who moved away had donated some fabric to the guild. I used some of that fabric to make three different quilt tops that will be quilted by someone else and then given to a worthy cause. Two of the quilts (left and right, below) were from the series of booklets using three yards for a single quilt, and the third was a 9-patch from an online source<\/a> to use a layer cake. So here are the tops!<\/p>\n
