January Quilt-a-thon at the UUAC in Sherborn

This was my first time leading the quilt-a-thon so I was too busy to take pictures, but I took a few at home of the quilts and tops that we made.

This is a nice and simple but striking top made by Carleen and quilted by yours truly, Cris Crawford. Finished at the quilt-a-thon by Sally Demler.
Next is a beautiful quilt made from a block swap.
This brilliant fabric selection was made by Paxton Roper, a student in the 7th and 8th grade Religious Education class at the UUAC. Pieced by Cris Crawford but not yet quilted.
A beautiful top made by Craig Cohen. Quilted and binded by Cris, and currently on display at church to inspire the quilters among us!
This is the "1200" strip pattern that was very popular at the quilt-a-thon this time. These aren't quilted yet, but shouldn't be too hard to finish. My daughter Cindy chose all pink strips.
Cindy chose all blue strips for this one - four of each color. I sewed all like colors together and ended up with a not-so-scrappy look.
Here is the 1200 quilt with a variation to highlight the blue-green strips that somehow ended up together! Made by Tobi Hoffman.

Many more beautiful tops were made, and many were sandwiched and taken home to be quilted. The next quilt-a-thon at the UUAC will be held on Saturday, March 16th, from 9:00 to 4:00.
