Helping Hands Scrap Quilt

Once a year, our Quilting Bee exchanges blocks for as part of a challenge.  My blocks were monochromatic and a variety of colors.  The sashing is from 1-1/2" strips of black and white scraps and square cornerstones.  It was interesting at best.  

My though process .... I threw the blocks on the wall and started playing with variations.  I settled on the black and white strips to even up the size of each block.  The quilt was donated to our Helping Hands Program for children living in temporary settings.

Charity Finish

Wrapping up year end charity quilts, this orange/hot pink modern quilt was an exercise in an off-the-cuff design.  Looking through my strips, I realized there was an abundance of oranges in the 4 1/2" Box.  The modern triangle fabric had a variety of oranges and hot pinks, so it worked perfectly for the zig zag accents.  From piecing to binding, this 48" X 60" quilt was done in 2 days.

Our Cane Cutter Quilt Guild's Helping Hands program, provides quilting comfort to several organizations.  This year, we were able to provide each child of the Louis Children’s Crisis Center a lap quilt and extra for the turnover of additional incoming residents.  This center offers therapeutic shelter for abused and neglected children.

Scrappy Hump Day

Progress!  Quilted and binding in progress, this girly little scrap quilt is ready donation to our Guild's Helping Hands Program. Finished at 60" X 76. (8" squares, 2" border)

Below is the same pattern and same size that is almost done (just one more seam and the border)...... but this is for a young boy.  Our local guild provides quilts for a few non-profits, however the MacDonell's Children's Services receive the bulk of the quilts. This organization serves youth who are placed in their care due to neglect, abuse and/or abandonment.
