Sorry Gone So Long, Maniac Monday

I have not posted on my blog in just over three weeks. I feel so bad but sometimes life just calls for all of my attention. We all need to have the ability to step back from our hobbies and give our families and our lives all of ourselves. That is what I have had to do. Now that I am done with the two Hope House quilts that I personally made and making sure my quilt group PQA is done with their Hope House quilts I can get back to my blog. I do not have a total yet of all of the quilts that the PQA members made on their own to donate but together we added 9 more to the list. Tonight when I dropped off the 5 I was in charge of the sweet lady that is over this quilt donation had a count of 96 quilts. There are still quilts coming in. The organization asked for 70 quilts. We will be able to give them a bunch of extras. It is so cool. Bellow are a few pictures of some of the quilts.

This quilt and the following quilt are the ones that PQA worked on together. We each made 9 blocks, a mix of girl and boy blocks. Each quilt has a matching pillowcase. 

This is the boy quilt:

This is the girl quilt:

The members of PQA got together a while back and had a a cut/swap day. We each brought new or old fabric and cut the same size blocks. Then we swapped blocks and made plus sign quilts to donate. Of this pattern the group made 7 quilts with matching pillowcase. Because each of the quilts were similar I only took a picture of this quilt. 

Then on top of all of that I donated two of my own. I had started out with other fabric and a harder pattern. As time counted down I let myself off the hook and just did huge 12.5 inch blocks. I love the look of these two quilts they are so cute. 

Here is a boy quilt:

Here is a girl quilt:

So because I have been so busy with this huge project and other things in my life I have been very bad about doing my other quilty responsibilities  I am so sorry to all of those that I owe cute quilty things too I will be starting on those today. So here is my November list of things to get caught up on.
