Scrappy Quilts

 This gorgeous strip quilt arrived from Diann of http://littlepenguinquilts.blogspot.com
She sent it as a donation for my mom's charity quilt drive.
 She did a great job with the quilting and echoed the strip blocks, I love the green she used for the binding.
Here is the back. She used some cheerful fabrics to piece a perfect backing. It will be a lovely quilty hug for a nursing home patient.
Diann was so sweet, she even sent me this adorable pin cushion for Slow Sunday Stitching. Thank you so much Diann!
I made two bright Scrappy Summer quilts for the charity drive. You can find the free tutorial here http://cluckclucksew.com/2013/06/finished-scrappy-summer-and-pattern.html

My mom quilted it with clam shells and we found this lime green floral fabric for the backing and binding at Joann's for $2.40 a yard.
This is the other one I made. It has orange binding and a white with orange dots for the backing. How can such simple and easy quilts be some of my favorites of all time? For the rest of the weekend, I am going to be working on some more Dog Gone Cute puppies and some Farm Girl Vintage blocks.
