Donation Quilts from Kat

Back in January I sent several unquilted tops to Kat of Kat and Cat Quilts for Covered in Love. I knew I'd never quilt and finish them, so I sent them to someone who could and would use them to comfort hospice patients and bereaved families. 

Recently Kat featured one of them on her blog. I was very happy to see it finished and to know it will be put to good use. Look at that wonderful texture! The top (story here, scroll down) was made from a bunch of triangles cut from various fabrics in my stash when I first got my die cutter and was a UFO for awhile. It was finally assembled at STLMQG's retreat last year. The layout was my own design. This project was always intended as a donation quilt.

Awhile back Kat showed one of my other ones, which had been a teaching sample and a UFO for many years. So nice to see it finished!

Thank you, Kat, for finishing these and giving them to families in need of comfort.

  3. They are lovely all finished and crinkly! Thank you for donating these pretty tops. I really like the design of the HST one with that big rectangle shape offset in the center. Very cool!
