I know these aren't the best pics, but here are two quick tops I put together from blocks and partially put together pieces. The purple and white was from a block lotto that I participated in many years ago and won 9 blocks from. This was enough to make the top just shy of 36 inches square, so I added a 2" border all the way around. The second was a partially assembled group of blocks I rescued at the thrift store. They really didn't make any sense, the way they had begun to be assembled, so I really didn't try to make any sense of it and just put them together in a way that was pleasing to my eye. The blocks were around 10 inches square, so this top finished around 40x40. Because of the colors, I think this could be one of the men's quilts.
Now, I am still not saying that I will get 12 lap quilts finished before the deadline, which is the second weekend in December. However, I feel that I can at least work on the tops with pieces I may have around here that could use a good home. And if I happen to get the tops finished, what fun I will have machine quilting them! Going to give the old Kenmore a good oiling here in the next day or two!
