Charity Quilts Finished
I have some happy news, the Circle of Stars quilt I donated to Cathy for Quilts for Kids was quilted and featured on her blog, Crazy by Design. https://cathyscrazybydesign.blogspot.com/2022/10/chasing-squirrels.html
It looked so great! I like it so much more now that it is quilted. Here is a picture of it:
Cathy had also quilted the little sister to this quilt, Rectangles (because I used up the scraps from it). Here is that one:
I somehow like both of them so much better now that they are quilted. I also got to finally donate some quilt tops. I think we all have so much fabric and a wonderful hobby, it's always good to do good for others. Share our blessings!
In the Circle of Stars quilt, I originally made it for husband, but it didn't exactly turn out like I thought it would. It is really bright and colorful (which I love), but somehow I thought it was missing something. I think since it was all made from a fat quarter bundle of tone on tone, it is missing some visual texture. Such a nit picky thing to say! Or, it could be that since I really love scrappy quilts, I was missing the dorky homemade look that I am used to! haha.
It was my pleasure to take your beautiful quilt tops to the finished stage. I know that eyes are going to pop over Circle of Stars when I turn it in to Quilts for Kids on Saturday the 29th! Also, I’m sending the photos and write-up to Jo K for her blog. xo
