String Quilts 11-15 from Kat & Cat Quilts

Happy Friday, Quilters! This week I have five more string quilts to show off. These were sent in during the Jan 2022 string quilt drive. All 5 of these were donated as completed tops and Linda quilted them beautifully on her long arm.

These first 2 quilts with the black sashing were sent in by Beth T. and Linda used awesome custom quilting on them.

The quilts are complimentary but beautifully different. The second quilt with the white thread has different quilted pantos in each string square.

Longarmers to the rescue from Kat & Cat Quilts

Hello! This week I have a couple of tops completed by Covered in Love's devoted long-arm quilters. First this pretty, sweet top was sent in by Holly and quilted by Linda. There are lots of strawberries in the fabric and it makes me think of the strawberry shortcake dolls from years ago.

UFOs Finished for CiL from Kat & Cat Quilts

Kathy broke out of quarantine this week to return these quilts to me! She took the tops that various quilters sent in and finished them into beautiful, cuddly quilts for CiL.

These hand-pieced lonestars were sent in by Holly and I added the slim flower borders. It made such a sweet little quilt!

This quilt with the pretty, bright yellow and red flower fabrics came from Johanna. I made a pieced backing from yellow and flower-themed fabrics to match.

This cute, almost vintage-looking nine patch top came from Julie W. She donated a group of tops I posted about before ...
