Year of the baby quilt, part 2

My guild is marking the impending birth of a baby girl among us
by making baby quilts for donation.
One of our guild members is having her second baby,
and since the rest of us are out of the baby-making business,
we decided to make some quilts.
Above is the stack of nine quilts and blankets guild members brought to the last meeting.
A string quilt in flannel novelites, made from leftover pj fabric.

A panel quilted to fleece. We have three of these panels among us,
and we're giving them new life as quilts after a previous existence as a curtain.
I have one, and I have the fleece for the backing,
but so far, the back and the top have yet to meet.

A preemie blanket made from sample squares
(one of those sew and stack and cut blocks)

Another blanket made from flannel novelties.

A split nine-patch, lovely in its scrappiness.

And a baby quilt not destined for this particular donation pile,
but to the maker's niece.
