Quilt Top Parade
The group I am now sewing with here on the Plateau (someday I'll explain Tennessee's topography) keeps a supply of "encouragement" quilts on hand for when there is a need.
So last month I provided a little more encouragement by donating a bunch of quilt tops that I knew I would never get around to quilting. Many of them were scrap quilts intentionally made to give away; others were projects that, frankly, didn't suit my taste once they were completed but will certainly warm someone's spirit when quilted and donated.
In no particular order, I will try to provide pattern names where applicable. (Note: photo heavy and unedited)

These are beautiful quilt tops that will certainly bring a smile and a quilty hug to someone. How nice that you donated them... both for them and for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ramona.
ReplyDeleteLibby, those tops are so pretty - it's hard to imagine you can give them up! But I do understand about having too many that you know you'll never finish. They'll bring encouragement and comfort where needed and will be much appreciated, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a lot of tops! It sounds like donating them is a great way to do something nice and clear the decks a bit at the same time.
ReplyDeleteOMG!! Those quilt tops are wonderful. There will be some VERY lucky people when they are finished and donated!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! That was a lot of beauty! There will be some happy recipients, and what a way to cut down your UFO list! Sharon B in Franklin
