I got another of the charity quilts done.
It’s such a pretty string quilt. Â The colors on this are MUCH better than the photo shows.
The quilt isn’t really big so it was quick and fun to do. Â I believe this top came from a blog reader, Michele from Bathesda, MD.
This one was quick to get thrown onto the machine as there was a backing for it.
I tried out a new quilting motif. Â It came from this book-Â Step-by-Step Free-Motion Quilting: Turn 9 Simple Shapes into 80+ Distinctive Designs Best-selling author of First Steps to Free-Motion Quilting. Â I love the book. Â You can see another quilting motif that I tried from the book by following this link.
I’ll try this motif again. Â It was easy and I like the look. Â Besides the obvious reason of helping those in need, I love doing charity quilts as it allows me to try new motifs before I put them on our own quilts.
Neither Kelli or I use batiks very often so it’s fun to get a chance to work with them.
Thanks for sharing a quilt top with me Michele!!
We are hooking up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict, Crazy Mom Quilts, and Link a Finish Friday.
look at you go – all ‘normal’ in your new house with your new sewing room and your new childcare business…. well done, friend.
Nice job by the piecer and the quilter. I enjoy practicing my quilting on donation quilts too.
Love the colors in this quilt! String quilts are so versatile.
I love the colors in this. Your quilting is wonderful. I want to tell you I really enjoy reading your posts. You are so generous with your charity work.
