We have such an active and fun group!<\/p>\n
Charity<\/strong><\/p>\n We are up to 72 or 73 finished quilts to give to charity this year. Some competitive types want to get us up to 100. I turned in the pink donation quilt<\/a> this time, but didn’t get the green and pink<\/a> top done yet, so that will be for next time.<\/p>\n Amanda asked that cat beds be filled full, rather than 3\/4s full, but not overstuffed. Show and Tell was fairly amazing. Below is the list of quilts that Amanda (secretary) provided to me. I was stunned at the number of quilts and amount of work that were shown today and just had to share.<\/p>\n 1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Amanda \u2013 3 quilts:\u00a0 Yellow & Dog\/cat print coin quilt; Dark brown and blue\/greens wildlife quilt; Cream and purple and muted color quilt. One of the things I like about Amanda’s quilt (right) is the cheddarish color around the edge. It isn’t as bright as cheddar, but is very effective. I think the cheddar is reacting with the browns to soften the quilt a little bit.<\/p>\n I also like the Chinese Coins pattern. This quilt was amazingly flat.<\/p>\n 2. Deborah A. \u2013 3 quilts: 1) Vibrant multicolored houses on black background; 2) Kaffe Fasset quilt in pastels; 3) Vibrant batik quilt with the back of Kaffe Fasset fabrics. First of all, using the back of the Kaffe fabrics is a stroke of genius. Mostly what I thought of when I saw this quilt was that it would be a great showcase for my Philip Jacobs fabrics. The blocks are large enough to show a piece of the fabric, but the sashing and cornerstones keep it<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cheryl S \u2013 1) vibrant colored baby quilt in squares; 2) Yellow, orange and red and pink zig-zag quilt.<\/p>\n 4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jen A (one of the Charity Girls) \u2013 1)Yellow and blue Out To Sea Quilt; 2) Indie quilt in multi colors<\/p>\n 5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chris C<\/a> \u2013 1) Handbag in brown and red, blue, yellow, green batiks; 2) Green and white and brown and blue\/purple quilt, very modern blocks<\/p>\n 6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Claire F \u2013 Little bag for her daughter at college and for her roommates.<\/p>\n 7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Peggy \u2013 Charity Quilt Blocks; 2) Jelly Roll Quilt \u2013 Amy Butler Fabrics and white; 3) Back of quilt (black and white); 3) Jelly Roll Race she tried on her own in rows with white borders; 4) back in green and yellow for jelly roll race; 5) Final jelly roll\u00a0 quilt in strip blocks with white sashing; 6) Yellow & white & blue backing. Peggy has been quietly working through her stash. This quilt (right) is her Jelly Roll quilt. She also didn’t like the way it come out, so cut it up and set it differently. I think it looks very Hawaiian. I want to try another Jelly Roll Race quilt. Perhaps I will do it with the new Marmalade line from Bonnie and Camille? We’ll see. I am not sure I am ready to make another diamond quilt if it doesn’t look good.<\/p>\n 8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Heather K. \u2013 1) 2 dolls \u2013 shy girl in blue and green, and then Zombenstein boy doll; 2) Out to Sea maps<\/p>\n 9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kelly O \u2013 1) Ice dyeing, scarf-sized, 6 pieces; 2) Cover for her tablet in Dr. Who fabric; 3) Doctor Who bag; 4) Dragonfly quilt back and front from Dan Rouse\u2019s class<\/p>\n 10.\u00a0 Deborah A (the other Charity Girl) \u2013 Converging corners in blue and red and yellow and grey<\/p>\n 11.\u00a0 Joe \u2013 1) Winter twister in black and white; 2)\u00a0 Antique Japanese fabric and African fabrics \u201cPatchwork Quilt\u201d in yellows, oranges, blues and maroons; 3) 1871 (House with tree in front, all quilted, black on white).<\/p>\n 12.\u00a0 Joy-Lily \u2013 Placemats \u2013 1) Pair of Olive Green and mint green; 2) Pair of Gingko leaf surrounding brights; 3) Pair of bright green and pink with gingko leaves<\/p>\n 13.\u00a0 Diana L \u2013 Pink & Brown roses with green leaves on white background 2) Blocks for the ABC Variable star, underground railroad, wagon tracks (Green, white and black)<\/p>\n 14.\u00a0 Lynette \u2013 1) Charity quilt string strips (pieced, quilted and bound it!); 2) Stars in teal and red and white and grey; 3) Pinwheels in red and brown and blue and green on white background, did long arming herself; 4) Blue and purple and grey and bright green stars and hexes 5) ABC blocks Waterwheel, Xs and squares (grey, green and blue)<\/p>\n 15.\u00a0 Sara M \u2013 Joel Dewberry quilt in pinks and blues and purple<\/p>\n 16.\u00a0 Ruth B \u2013 1) Made from patchwork squares that were her mom\u2019s in blues and pinks and teals, 2) Quilt as old as the guild, pieces from the upholstery shop in greens, blues, yellows and browns<\/p>\n 17.\u00a0 Jaye \u2013 1) Charity Quilt in pinks with backing in pinks; 2) Jelly roll race cut into diamond, got accepted into New Quilts of Northern California 3) ABC blocks \u2013 Rambler; xquartet; Japanese x block; variable star, wampum and underground railroad (in pinks, greens, teals and sashing<\/p>\n 18.\u00a0 Michelle \u2013 1) Orange snowball pattern; 2) Green quilt with squares in blue and yellow 4) Placemats in\u00a0 5) Blocks Union square, windblown square, xquartet, yankee puzzle (in blue and white)<\/p>\n 19.\u00a0 Colleen \u2013 Charity Quilt in tulips and butterflies \u2013 going to a group that gives quilts to kids in foster care<\/p>\n 20.\u00a0 Rhonda \u2013 two blocks Wyoming valley & X marks the spot (greys, blues and whites<\/p>\n 21.\u00a0 Kathleen – Windmill two and the X block (black and white and red)<\/p>\n 22.\u00a0 Mary \u2013 1) Tulip charity quilt in retro fabrics 2) Oh Fransson clothesline quilt in oranges and grey; 3) Jelly Roll Race quilt in polka dots<\/p>\n 23.\u00a0 Erin \u2013 Whole Cloth challenge, hand-quilted, with several different colors of threads on taupe on one side, green on the other.<\/p>\n 24.\u00a0 Mallory \u2013 1) Tula Pink birds and bees quilt in plus pattern 2) Zig Zag quilt with brown, pinks, white and maroons; 3) Plume quilt on white for a baby; 4)\u00a0 Momo quilt on white; 5) Art Gallery picnic quilt in greys, teals, pinks and purples; 6) Plus blocks with wide mint-green expanse of solid with white circles on it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Once again, BAMQG and CQFA were on the same day.
