Work in Progress -- Finishes!

Are you getting tired of the Super Summer Snippy Challenge?  I mean, r-e-a-l-l-y, it has been going on since May!  I actually didn't think it could drag on this long, but I feel compelled to show off the work of some of my friends in my quilt guild who have finished up the tops that I made.

Today, Three more completed by Wenda McIntosh.  She took three of the tops I made and layered, and basted, and quilted and put on binding.  She used a simple meander for the quilting and it made these quilts for charity look quite Bright and Happy!

 
This one so bright and in a way, like an I spy, just picking out any of the different toys on the black background fabric.  Horns, and purses, hats and shoes...  So fun!
 
 
This one, simple ninepatches, surrounded with a narrow sashing that has musical notes.  Just right for the older child to snuggle under!
 
 
This one is definately a girly quilt, do you think?  I actually did not really care for this quilt, but after receiving a number of complements on it from some of the members of my guild, I am looking at it with new eyes.  Wenda did a great job on quilting this one too.
 
Now, this project has been so successful for me and has given me a bit of a "Glow" that one gets when one GIVES -- I am planning another series along the same lines.  A Challenge to create beautiful quilts for people in Need.  My plan is not completely formulated yet, but I am wondering if any of you out there would like to work along with me?  Your quilt or quilts should be donated to a local charity in your area...  I will write more on this project in a week or two so come back if you want to make a contribution to your community.
