My first night at Sewtopia I sewed together the block with a pack of Kona cotton mini charms from sponsor Robert Kaufman Fabrics. I was getting the feel of the Bernina I would be sewing on for the weekend.
I decided this quilt should be in honor of Sewtopia sponsors so I used Pellon batting and this Michael Miller print on the back.
I free motion quilted it (Denyse Schmidt style) with Aurifil. I used a water based marker to draw a 2"x4" graph on the quilt to help keep my loops consistent in size.
The binding fabric is from JoAnn's. Not a sponsor, but it was a perfect match for the front and back - and in my stash!
This quilt will go to CS Mott Children's Hospital with others from the Ann Arbor Modern Quilt Guild. I hope it brings a smile and healing to someone.
Love this so much, Karen! Thanks for playing along with the Charity Challenge! I'm working on my June quilt as I type this :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie. The challenge is a fun way to keep myself on task. Giving back feels good! I can't wait to see your quilt.
DeleteI really like this quilt! Not so difficult that it puts you off doing it, but still looks very cool! I really hate when donation quilts look crappy, and I'm sure anyone would be thrilled to get this!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I agree that we need to give back more than leftovers. I put my label on all my quilts so I want them to be nice. Once I donated a quilt that I didn't like the colors of. I felt a little guilty about that. Someone had given me the fabric. It was quality fabric and the quilt finished up nice. I decided that someone might like it even if I didn't. I hope so anyway!
DeleteLooks like a perfect match with the backing. Simple but lovely design!
ReplyDeletethis design is perfect.
