Back in the spring, for PCQ's Community Service sew day, we made up kits for Four Patch Variation twin bed size quilts. Knowing there was this kit with a pretty daisy print in blue, I nabbed it. Full disclosure, I'm the one who put this kit together and some of the fabrics in it were mine instead of the club's, so I didn't feel guilty for nabbing the kit before someone else could.
The flimsy was finished months ago, but there wasn't a suitable backing for it, so it sat in UFO status for a while. Then the Christmas Quilts for Hospice became a priority* and this quilt continued to languish.
I finally got backing fabric for it, and batting from the club, and time on the long arm, so it's finally a finish.
I showed it at PCQ's most recent general meeting and everyone commented on how cheerful it is. You can't beat a pretty blue and yellow combo!

*PS - final tally, 81 Christmas Quilts were delivered to Hospice in early December.
Gotta love a pretty daisy! So fresh.
ReplyDeleteI love the soft blues and greens with the pop of yellow. Very pretty and will be a great comfort to someone.
ReplyDeleteI agree, hard to beat blue and yellow as a cheerful combination. Congrats on a wonderful donation quilt.
ReplyDeleteWow! 81 Christmas quilts is an incredible number. Hats off to the committee and PCQ!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the recipient is going to like it and get a lot of use and comfort from it. And wow, 81 quilts delivered?! Amazing!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blue in this quilt and it looks so nice with the daisies. Truly!
ReplyDeleteJan - this is so pretty! I also love the blue/yellow combo. I made one comfort quilt with the same colors. It worked really well then too. The daisy fabric is so sweet. Great finish! Happy Holidays Jan!
