| The back's fabric is only pieced on the top edge here- the rest is the fabric pattern. Love the striped binding. |

Another Maybe
Last year, I did the tutorial for the Maybe quilt on Sarah's blog. I have made a lot of these as comfort quilts. This one is finished and all in the bag for delivery tomorrow to a young woman who works in my husband's department who is battling breast cancer. It is washed and all plumped up. Again, the lovely Miss J holds the edge down to keep it from furling.

Another quilt, another home
Finally, I quilted the Maybe strip quilt that I did a blog tutorial on, http://confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com/2016/04/hands2help-maybe-quilt-tutorial.html.
There was a time crunch because I got a request for someone undergoing treatment now. Although I had the backing sewn and batting cut, I was working quilting a king size quilt which was a favor for a surprise gift that seemed like it took forever. As soon as that big hummer was off the frame, I quilted the Maybe quilt, put the pocket on the tote bag, made the card, washed the quilt and packaged the whole thing up in my last XL ziploc bag. It was delivered to Brenda and now I have a second quilt loaded that is also a request. I had to take the photos inside due to rain, so they are not as good as they should be.

Three for the road
I have been feverishly trying to get three comfort quilts out the door. I had three requests recently and wanted to get them done. Besides piecing the tops, the backs, quilting, binding, I have to sew pockets on bags, sew labels on, make cards and put the bag packages with the books together after washing the quilts. It seems like the process is longer than I would like it to be. I think I have shown some of the quilts before, but here goes anyways.
