I was able to quilt the tops that Kevin the Quilter sent, and now they're ready for donation.
Both have the same backing, a light blue swirl print. Both got allover meander quilting. Both have blue binding, but different fabrics so I could use what I had.
The larger of the two is about 48 by 64", made of immaculately pieced 1" squares.
The smaller one is about 45 by 60", with 1-1/2" squares, with equally beautiful piecing.
These will go to the local family services agency. They serve clients ages 7 and up, mostly teen girls but sometimes boys and adult women. I like that these are gender neutral and don't pertain to a specific age, suitable for whoever receives them. I'm glad to help Kevin create quilty hugs for someone going through a traumatic time.
Kevin's tiny patchwork has inspired me to work with small pieces. Not that tiny, but I have a couple of projects going that use 1-1/2" finished squares. Slow going, but that's okay with me.
