Next ten Charity tops #61-70 for 2026

I decided to stop cutting borders for the next few charity tops and just clean up a bit. It had gotten out of hand and I had fabric and pieces here and there, so much that I couldn’t tell what was what.

And I couldn’t see the pieces I had taken out of my fabric room as they were all stacked on each other so when it was time to choose a fabric to use as a border, it was a mess just getting to it.

I’ve also got to figure out a reasonable schedule or plan. I’m still thinking.

I’m still doing some power quilting - meaning, at this point, one large quilt a day (my own), trying to get caught up or at least almost caught up.

Here are the next ten tops I’m taking to the church building to store.

The snow is getting ready to melt, which means I can more easily take pictures outside without it being so cold and messy, so it is time for me to get busy binding the 32 charity quilts I’ve actually quilted.

Anyway, here are the next ten tops. By now you all probably realize the strippy ones are made from the menswear I bought in a huge haul back in 2017 and the rolls of strips Ewa and her mom have made in the past. I had been throwing them up in the storage room until this year when I decided I MUST deal with them.

All the rest of the tops were either donated by you all - except for the one strippy one with yellow and pink - I made that top and the plain squares, Ewa’s mom made it. I added borders until they were the right size, or approximately the right size.

 
 

This batch is going to go a long ways to getting the lower trunks at church full - or I can move some from the top trunk and then I will be okay with bringing finished quilts over to that room. So, yes, it is now time to start binding and finishing up the first quilts I’ve got ready to bind.

I use the trunks as the bottom layer, so quilts are not sitting on the floor in a storage building. Makes sense, right? But I wanted the trunks full of ready to go tops.
