Quilt Tops At Last! A Bee Update

First, please excuse the iPhone picture that is a bit grainy. Second, here's a Quilt Top! Becca has sewn together the top for the boy quilt headed for Project Linus. Everyone did such a fabulous job. It's a veritable I-Spy of elephants, campers, giraffes, cars and more!


And by some miracle, I managed to not be late for something and got this top of gorgeous, girly blocks sewn together as well, the other quilt headed for Project Linus. We're both working on the backs now and should have some more pictures soon.

We said we had some news about Round 2 and we're very excited to report that we've enlisted the magical services of Anne Marie of GenX Quilters to be the Fairy Godmother of the next quilt. (Insert sprinkling of fairy dust here.) We will gather up all the blocks, wrap it all up in batting and backing and send it off to the magical land of Ohio as Fairy Godmother Anne Marie has generously agreed to turn it all into a quilt for the ALS Quilt Challenge. We have so many willing volunteers waiting to make blocks for quilts that we wanted to make sure everything moved along in a timely fashion. Becca and I worried that if we were trying to put together a quilt every month or so, that we would get behind. So we're tremendously grateful for Anne Marie's help. Give her a pat on the Fairy wings next time you visit her blog.
