I finished some more baby quilts for donation lately and have taken them to my guild so they can be taken care of. Probably most of the baby quilts we make go to "The Family Place" which helps new parents.
I didn't buy any of the fabric, except for the green fabric that I used for the backing on the pink quilt. All the fabric was either given to me by a friend, or from the guild. They passed around a box and said to take some 5" squares, so the is what I used for the pink quilt.
This one was just a piece of fabric, batting & backing to take home and put together & finish
I got the green fabric at my favorite thrift shop and it was quite a deal! There was about 4 yards, so I still have some available to us on another baby quilt.
I also donated a large twin size quilt that I made with a almost million 2 1/2" squares. This picture doesn't show the whole quilt because I didn't have a chance to hang it up anywhere.
I will have 3 quilts hanging in the quilt show in June - Quilts in Bloom - in McMinnville on June 20 & 21. I changed my volunteer work from Saturday morning to Friday Afternoon because there is something else that I want to go to on Saturday.
Hope you are enjoying good weather where you are and thanks for visiting.
Cute baby quilts, Ruth. I love them all. You made a lovely pink one with very little fabric. Love the cats fabric on the back of the first one. Bless your generous heart. ;^)
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely donation quilts. Treasured I’m sure by the new parents who receive them. That twin quilt was a labour of love - so many pieces. I’d love to see your quilts in person at the show.
ReplyDeleteThe baby quilts are so sweet and it's so kind of you to donate your time and fabric to new parents. And the twin quilt with a million pieces - yikes that's a lot of pieces!
