After nearly a year, this king size quilt is done! Hallelujah! I finished on Feb. 18, 2013 and went on to make a companion wallhanging (finished today Feb. 23, 2013).
Cutting our scraps into 4" blocks and sewing them together, and tying them. For donation to a fire dept for kids who are displaced after a fire.
Shannon's ideas for next projects (in quotes); with Pam's comments.
"A quilt of long, strips of fabric sewn together." A log cabin maybe?
"One of those crazy (but not) quilt blocks. We could design one together" next time we have lunch. "And make the blocks the same size" 12 inches maybe? "and with the same main fabric" maybe that bright red/magenta floral fabric? "and then we could switch off." If we each do 30 blocks we would end up with a 60 x 72 inch quilt.
"Needles-n-Pins, a quilt store in Frederick, accepts quilts for kids. They donate them to the local fire dept. for when kids are the victims of fires and lose their homes." Pam will do more research.
"Cutting our scraps into 4" blocks and sewing them together, and tying them and then we could either donate them to" Needles-n-Pins!! see above.
