A couple of quick tops

The volunteers at the Target I work at are collecting items for a local homeless shelter. I gifted a couple of quilts that I had finished, but decided I wanted to gift a couple more. So, headed up to the sewing room to figure out what I wanted to make and remembered that I had these:



These were to be my second Mystery #11 from Relays for Life. My first one is here:

I was going to make this second one the way most folks did..a quarter courthouse..kind of like a Bento Box. But..like many others..the blocks just sat. Looking at them last night, I decided I liked them as they were and split them up into a dark and light pile. Instead of one extra large quilt, I decided to make 2 small ones. So, here is top #1:



I will make the other top with the dark blocks this weekend and hopefully get them both quilted up so I can gift them on Monday. This is GREAT! I will have 2 quilts to gift and get to cross one off my to do list!! YAY!!
