A chunky race for H2H

This is my final quilt for the H2H challenge over at Sarah's .  This week is the 'show off' week so we can all see what the others have accomplished. And wow there is a whole lot of quilts being shown!! Congrats to everyone that is participating.

I did several of these chunky race quilts with my older blue and mauve stash earlier this year. This one got cut out and not sewn back then, so I hurried this week and got it done just in time.  The idea of the chunky race quilt comes from my friend Jasmine.  A very quick and easy quilt to make.

                            


 A simple allover freehand flower swirl to keep it cuddly. 


This blue and Mauve one didn't make it into the pile of quilts as it wasn't finished at the time I took the pic.  But it makes 12 quilts that I worked on during the H2H time.   All along I thought I was going to deliver them all to the local Project Linus. However, I just got wind recently that our local Crisis Nursery Center was very low on quilts.  So I loaded up my SUV and delivered them there.  The gal was tickled pink, and I was so happy to help out. 


In addition to the 12 H2H quilts I also gave them this stack of 21 quilts, that I made over the winter, for a total of 33!!!  I am so very happy to have them out to where they can get given and used.  It gave me 33 warm fuzzy feelings :)   I set a personal goal of 30 quilts to make for donations this year, I surpassed my goal and I am so happy.  These are all various sizes from 36x36 to a lap size.  My closet is so much emptier!

  22. Jasmine is an inspiration and you are a doll. Tickled pink is an understatement. I am sure she was thrilled to bits. Kudos to you for all that you do and so fast, it is a blur...

  23. Seeing these gorgeous stacks of quilts makes me want to go sew something right now, even though it is bedtime. I have another stack of strips for a chunky race quilt. They are addicting.
