Project Quilting ~ Week 5 -- Give It Away ~ Donation Quilts for Wrap-A-Smile

As many of my friends know I am pretty active in making donation quilts.  Last week I donated 2 tops made from my hand-dyed fabrics January 2019 to my local guild for donation to 2 pre-teen boys.  The grandmother is taking in 5 of her grandchildren so 5 quilts were requested.  These quilts were actually made last year and I intended to gift them to a family member or close friend but I can always make more tops.

This week's challenge was to make something to be given away for Project Quilting.  I have "perfected" a simple but great children's quilt that's about 45" by 60".  Then depending on fabric choices it can be good for boys or girls.  It's fun to make and can be quilted with an allover meander fairly quickly.  Edges can be finished by either binding or using a facing.  So, I have made 2 quilts that I will donate to Wrap-A-Smile.

Project Quilting ~ Week 4 ~ Birds in the Air

Week 4 project quilting.  Top made but not quilted so I couldn't enter this challenge but hopefully the next will work for me.  This top I was trying to play with making a more modern quilt so I added some negative space in it.  The quilt will be a donation quilt for a woman fighting cancer or another serious illness to give her some comfort. I expect to get it quilted and sent out in the next month.  I am also working on my quilting skills.  I can good at free motion meander quilting but need practice on all other types of quilting.  Practice, practice, practice.  It's so important.
