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.

Beautiful finishes thanks to you both
ReplyDeleteThey are both beauties, and such tiny squares! Nice that you are able to work as a team to get them to people who need them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piecing, indeed! You make a great team.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes. . .what great patterns to use a lot of scraps!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear that Kevin is still quilting. I followed his blog for a while and am still finishing up one of his quilt alongs. Those are some tiny pieces. He has always been talented scrap quilter.
