Color Strip & Chunk Donation Tops

These quilts were started in 2019 after a conversation with a fellow guild member where she showed me some blocks she had made. I decided to make some of these using my scraps. Now it is a series, apparently.

Red Chunk Donation top and post after piecing. I had a lot of red scraps, so was able to make a second quilt. Sue did the quilting. You can see the post-quilting post.

The white might be the most successful so far. It is far more monochromatic than the others. I really like it, however impractical it is for a donation quilt. I was pleased that Leann and others at the guild meeting, where Leeann showed her quilting handy work agreed with me.

I finally dipped into the blue bin and came up with a wonderful version that uses yellow as the sashing.

I was able to make Blue Strips #2 from the blue scrap bin. Not much change to the fullness of the scrap bin.

In May and June of 2021, I started and finished another of the Color Strip donation tops, this time in yellow.

In 2022, I took the leftover blocks from the various quilts above, made a few more and came up with Rainbow Strip donation quilt.

The companion improv quilts to these can be found on the Color Improv Donation Tops page.
