and quilts made for donation to a 'need'. Hi, I'm Finn, and I have been blogging at Pieces from my scrapbag since 2005. The quilt above was made for a teenage girl in MI, as part of the Wrapped In Hope prison ministry. This one was tied with green perle cotton and has flannel on the back for snug-ability!
And yes, if it looks familiar it is... same pattern as the first but different color combo, 4 colors vs 3 colors. This one went to a little boy as part of the Quilts 4 Leukemia project. His favorite color was red, and he loves dinasors. I can't remember if it was tied or machine quilted...more and more senior moments lately, LOL
This quilt, also made for Quilts 4 Leukemia, a few years earlier. Red and white are to be the primary colors, but no pattern in particular. This one is a Jacob's Ladder variation. Again, it was tied. All of these quilts I made are with flanne backingl to add the 'snuggle' factor. I've made many donation quilts over the years of blogging, and plan to continue doing so. I've sent just the tops sometimes, and the whole quilt at others. Getting the tops finished is fairly easy, despite health considerations, and I'm always happy to find a project that will take quilt tops for volunteers to finish up.
Three great finishes. I love flannel on the back!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty quilts. I love the different fabrics combinations. Your are a blessing to others.
ReplyDeleteLOve all of the quilts can't get over how different the firs 2 look with different colors.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful quilts, Finn! I particularly like the colors in the second one....
ReplyDeleteWonderful, wonderful quilts! The first two are great for using a small bit of novelty type fabrics!
ReplyDeleteHi, Finn! I love the pattern on those first two quilts.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilts!
ReplyDeleteHow do I find out about donating a quilt? I don't have anything yet (I am a relative newbie to quilt making) but I think it is a wonderful idea. I am not religious so there is no "church group" to be involved in so I wondered if anyone knew of anyone I should contact? I am in Sacramento, California. Thanks so much!
