Design Wall Monday - group sewing

This isn't my personal design wall . . . but was my Saturday project.  


My photos aren't the best quality, but I tried to capture some of the action from Saturday's guild work day.  We put together 3 baby quilts and 1 Quilt of Valor from blocks made by guild members.  The baby quilts even have backings and bindings all ready to go.  We traditionally give a quilt to the first baby of the New Year at the local hospital, and this year we are adding another small regional hospital to our donation. 


It's always amazing to me how much a small group can accomplish when we work together.  We had 8 ladies working away from 8 to noon.  The Quilt of Valor top that was finished is made with the Ritzy Cracker blocks from Moda Bake Shop.  We worked on the star block QOV top too, but are 6 blocks short of a finish so far. 

Two of the 3 baby quilts were made with this block. It's basically a charm square with sashing and cornerstone added to one side.  This one has lots of green, yellow, and blue. The other has lots of soft brown added in and all of the center blocks were from one cute fabric.  The third baby quilt used a different block.  


And a bonus - was this gorgeous QOV top made and donated by Pam.  She enlarged the star block pattern we are making now, and then added the other blocks.  All of this fabric was donated to her and I'm guessing the person would be thrilled to see the finished quilt.  Isn't this a great layout?  


What is one YOUR design wall today?  https://smallquiltsanddollquilts.blogspot.com/

Bravo to all the ladies who worked on the blocks and the quilt tops. It's fun to work with such a focused group.
