2019 H2H Charity Quilts Challenge

It time again for Confessions of a Fabric Addict to do the Hands to Help Comfort Quilts Challenge.  Every year more and more people sign up for it and this year there are over 200 participants.  This is my third year.

This is our first check-in for this year and I've been busy!  My goal this year is to really reduce my flannel scraps.  I made an effort last year but didn't even make a dent in it.  This year I'm determined!  So far I've reduced the scraps from four large containers down to two and I'm not done yet.  I've made quite a few baby quilts for Jack's Baskets and I'm now working on lap sizes.

Here are eight baby quilts I have done so far.  My husband does the quilting on the longarm and has a few more to do in between the customer quilts.  It was a windy day but I think the pictures came out okay.







This quilt was a kit I found in my stash.  Not sure if this was the pattern or not since there was no directions in the bag just the cut strips.  I think it was from the 1990's -- glad to get rid of this one!

This feather star quilt I made for my mother-in-law in the 90's.  I'm really not in love with it so decided to donate to someone who will love it.

These were blocks left over from a project one of my customers made.  She didn't want the leftovers so after looking at them for a couple years I've finally made something with them.  YEAH!!!!!

The fabric in the middle has been in my stash for a long time.  It's really pretty and I just couldn't cut it up.  This was the best I could come up with.  The picture doesn't show the true colors which are very dark and rich looking.

And just because it is so beautiful here is a picture of my azalea bushes blooming.  Spring is here in the north Georgia mountains.

That's it for now.  More quilts to make and bindings to do.
