Another Flimsy

My completed flimsy top for St. Anne's.  I took a  24 by 42 panel and cut off the blocks at top and bottom. Then added a blue solid around it. I then made some row blocks and added them to the blocks and set them on the sides.  Then took a green solid to finish at 37 x 35 - a more useable size for a baby quilt.  It now goes to other St. Anne's workers to sandwich, tie and bind.

Now why don't textile manufacturers make panels that are more to this size.  It would make it so easy to make a baby quilt in no time at all.  What are you working on?

This quilt is going to Sarah's quilt drive.....
HANDS2HELP.
 
I began with a brown and pink jelly roll
and added some orphan blocks.
 
I like the way the orphan blocks
introduce GREEN!!!
I would NEVER have thought to ADD it!
The green border ties it all together.
 
House, Hearts and Cupcake!
What a FUN mix!

Another TAPS quilt!

Thought I would share a Red, White and Blue quilt I received from a friend that needed binding. I added the red binding which she supplied. It is for TAPS - Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, an organization that provides support to the Families of fallen service members RWB quilts or crocheted blankets are always needed for the “Good Grief Camp”. For more info: http://www.taps.org/

Jacquelyn used the Double Slice Layer Cake pattern from Missouri Star Quilt Co. http://quiltingtutorials.com/all/double-slice-layer-cake-quilt-tutorial/



She also made a great choice by adding borders containing that busyness and making the quilt a wonderful size (50”x60”). With the polka dot flannel backing, this quilt is full of comforting hugs.



Wonderful quilt Jacquelyn!
