De-accessioning

The time has come for me to part with many of my completed tops.  So today I passed three on to our Devo and Sew group to be finished as comfort quilts.  These are some of my favorites; I don't remember exactly when they were made.

The first one is Granny's Stars, a pattern by Nancy Mahoney.  According to my paperwork, the pattern appeared in a 2009 issue of  Fons and Porter magazine.  I took this class with her in 2016.  I call it Baik Beauty.  I finished the top at our February Loucon retreat in 2023.  


Next is a Cynthia Brunz pattern she calls Geese Migration.  I saw it in a magazine and simply HAD to make it. I love the progression of value in the blocks, though I was not completely successful in all of them.


And, finally, this is another one I saw in a magazine.  I thought it was called Tumbling Triangles, but I can't find any documentation to support that.  What looks like black is a really dark green and I used all my pastel florals for the strips. 


I don't mind parting with my tops when I know they will go to a good cause.  To me, the pleasure is in the making!
