A Belated Weekly Wrap.

I only finished 2 quilts this week because I was busy crocheting smaller blankets together to make larger ones. I combine 4 small blankets for each one and made 7 large blankets. 

The pink top was donated and I  quilted and finished it.

This quilt was made from squares that I had cut from donated obsolete uniforms from Ambulance Victoria and I combined them with squares cut from kits themed fabric.

I have more tops basted and ready to quilt and hope to get more finishes soon.
