I have quilts from Ronda…Oh she’s a treasure. She sent me a note that said, “Sometimes your world turns upside down, and you need somebody to show you how to walk on your hands before you can find your feet again.”
Oh my. Isn’t that the truth!!
Now onto quilts- Ronda writes:
“I have three more quilts to share with you. First up, is a top that was sent to me from Jean D. in Seguin, Texas.”
“She also sent the blue polka dot fabric that I used for the backing. It wasn’t quite wide enough, so I added a strip of the brown/blue striped fabric that came from July M. in Lynchburg, Virginia. I also used that stripe for the binding.
The second quilt was one that Roxanne H. in Virginia started. She made four blocks and sewed them together into about a 24″ square. She sent enough of the pink/mauve dotty fabric to make some additional blocks. I used scraps from Jean D. in Texas and Nancy K. in Florida to make four patches, which then turned into 16 patches. I found a neutral background fabric in my stash that came pretty close to the cream color Roxanne used in the 1/2 square triangles. I added the blocks that I had made around the ones that she had made to try to blend them all seamlessly as far as color goes.
The last quilt was sent to me from Evie H. in Los Angeles, California. She made the top and sent the backing and binding. It was a Mystery Sampler from Fat Quarter Quilts by M’Liss Rae Hawley of That Patchwork Place – 1990. I love the colors and fabric choices she made.
WOW…what a bunch of busy quilters, donators and finishing. All of them are really nice. I love the colors in them all. It’s such a blessing for us to see that good things are happening in the world. Great work everyone!
Beautiful quilts all. Folks are so generous!
Ronda is a treasure, for sure!

Ronda – your vision with the projects that come to you is AMAZING! They always turn out to be beautiful!! Thank you for taking UFOs and making them complete.
Thanks for making the little something I sent you into something so beautiful! It is a fun block to make from favorite scraps. Here’s a link to Lori DeJarnett’s blog with her directions. https://humblequilts.blogspot.com/2017/09/palmateer-point-quiltalong-part-1.html?m=1
