Blog readers often send me quilt tops and I machine quilt them and bind them. Â Then they are sent off to a worthy charity. Â This is one of those….
Now that the quilting room is clean and organized I’ve been wanting to get back in the swing of finishing up charity quilt regularly. Â Until the room was under control I found doing the charity tops a little more challenging. Â Now that everything has a place and everything in in it’s place (most of the time) I’m ready to go again.
Happily I finished this one….
The design is not fancy but the colors are great. Â I can see a little girl finding the matching rectangles on this one. Â I showed my 5 year child care girl she was oo-ing all over. Â She loved it.
I did try to liven it up a bit with the quilting. Â On the top I used a variegated pastel thread. Â You can’t see it’s pastel in the photo.
The motif is an easy all over free motion floral that I do. Â I’ve done it lots and lots. Â For me anymore it’s quick. Â The back has a rainbow variegated thread. Â I love to use variegated thread on the backs of quilts especially when I have solid colored fabric for the backing. Â I think it livens it up a bit.
No quilt is complete without a picture of Ruby on it…so here it is.
Sadly when Kelli helped me clean the sewing room she didn’t realize that I have been keeping the charity quilt tops in the boxes from who they came from. Â That way I could keep track of who sent them to me and give proper credit to the person who donated the quilt. Â I am going with a guess and saying this one was donated by Sharon. Â (am I right??)
The quilt turned out nice and I am sure it will bring someone comfort soon.
Today we’re sharing our finished quilt at  Confessions of a Fabric Addict, Crazy Mom Quilts, and Link a Finish Friday.
It’s very, very nice! You do such goodness bringing these tops to life!
love the quilting
Yes, Jo that is a top I donated. It is a simple pattern and I made two of these tops to try and use up some scraps. I quilted the other and gifted it but this one was left in the pile of un-quilted tops for a long time. You made it look so pretty with the quilting you did on it. Hopefully it will bring a smile to some one. Thank you for being able to do this. If you ever need any more donation tops, I have more!
Beautiful and colorful quilt and wonderful quilting! You ladies did an awesome job!
That beautiful quilt is made for Ruby, brings out the color of her eyes. I love Ruby and your quilting.
Wow, I would have guessed that was a pantograph. If that is easy for you, I am very impressed! So nice to do charity quilts…I know I am one who doesn’t mind piecing them or donating fabric to make them, but I just can’t do the quilting part. Thank you!
You do such lovely work and are very generous with your time!
