The Weekly Wrap.

I didn't get as many quilts finished this week but I didn't make 2 more quilt tops from donated uniforms and managed to get one quilted.
I also quilted another donated top and made one large crocheted blanket by joining 4 smaller ones together. I also made several sets of binding so that will speed things up.
Any progress is better than none and I hope to get more finishes this week.

Hugs, Jan Mac xx
