I started this quilt a while ago, probably a couple years ago. I just couldn't seem to get back to it. So when it was my turn to choose the quilt pattern for the Charity Bee group I belong to, I chose to let the group help me finish the quilt! It will be donated to "Project Linus." (They give quilts to kids in need -- the "kids" can be up to 18-years-old.)
My original vision for this quilt came from a quilt in the book "Block Party - The Modern Quilting Bee." So I started it out as a quilt that I intended to do on my own, but serendipitously, it ended up being finished with a "modern quilting bee."
My original blocks were being done in a QAYG (Quilt as you go) method where I'd sew/quilt each block individually. So when I decided to finish it with my quilting bee-mates, I had them send their blocks a little big. Then I quilted them to squares of batting block by block. Then I sewed them together and added the backing (quilting in the ditch to attach the backing.)
When I took these pictures the other morning it was FRIGID. I think it actually looks extra chilly in the photo -- somehow capturing the cold with a bluish tint. Maybe when it warms up I'll try and get a better picture....actually, I think it'll be donated by then. Thank you to the Harmony Group of do.good Stitches for helping me finish this!
This is my one and only finish for this quarter.
Such a beautiful, geometric quilt! Thank you for participating in the FAL, on behalf of the 2018 global FAL hosts.
