Wanda has been sewing .... a lot!

The stack of quilts in the rocking chair have now been bound 
and are ready to be donated

 - if quilt guilds are ever allowed to meet again.

  All of the tops were sewn some time ago; we won't worry about how long ago that was. Some of the scrap fabrics were from my quilts, and some were donations from other quilters, and I have also purchased scraps. 

I don't remember where I got the scraps for quilts 5 and 6, but they were already cut into small trapezoids so all I had to do was sew them into rectangles and then into blocks. 

Quilt 7 has small four-patches the same size as the white squares. 

Most of the scraps in quilt 8 were from my friend LaVaughn.

Most of the scraps in Quilt 9 are from our own Carol P. 

What a happy combination. 

Quilt 10 is a mix of scraps, many from LaVaugh including the yellow bird piece near the middle of the quilt. 

For Quilt 11 Maple Grove Quilters made a bunch of pink quilts for breast cancer awareness several years ago, and these were scraps I had left from that project. 

Quilt 12 has the same fabric as the center of each offset log cabin. 

However, it's a large floral print so it looks different in many of the squares - no idea how I got so many precut squares of that floral.

  I remember piecing Quilt 13 at an MCQ retreat some years ago. The centers of the blocks are silk screened designs. 

For Quilt 14 Maple Grove Quilters made heart quilts for girls years ago - pinks, reds and purples is what we decided girls really liked. It was an exchange of blocks so some were not made by me, but I made enough to finish a quilt top. 

Quilts 15 and 16 are small pieces, probably doll quilts made from two-inch squares that were cut for watercolor quilts some years ago. 

Everything is 'some years ago' - did you catch that?

For scrap quilts with borders, all the border fabrics were from my stash even though most of the scraps could have come from others. 

Many of these have pieced bindings from my stash of leftover binding strips. 

The tops were made 'some years ago,' but the quilting was done in 2020.

 My goal for the year is to finish more of the unquilted tops.

After I had bound all those charity quilts, I still had lots of leftover binding pieces. 

I have always saved extra bits of binding, and they are various widths with some older ones cut on the bias. 

I decided to piece them into long strips, ready to use for the next quilts. 

The biggest roll is 5-3/4 inches in diameter. 

Makes you want to start your own roll, doesn't it? 

Each roll has an empty wooden spool as the starter.  

There were some lengths of binding that I thought were long enough to leave as they were in flat bundles. 

Looks like I can bind several more scrap quilts.
