\"Pink<\/a>
Pink & Green Donation Top<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have been, as they say, feeling the love for making donation quilts. I have talked about how good it makes me feel to make the various donation quilts I have made such as the pink and green one shown here.<\/p>\n

I recently had the opportunity to actually finish one of the donation tops someone else (or multiple someone elses) made for the group by hand stitching down a binding. It felt like such a small thing to do, but then I had the opportunity to give one of these quilts to a child in need. I asked, the guild leadership agreed and the quilt is in transit to provide comfort to a\u00a0 girl who doesn’t know what her body is doing. I felt so good knowing one of those quilts is being sent to someone I know.<\/p>\n

I am a sap, I know, but sometimes I need to be reminded why doing good is important.<\/p>\n

The binding I stitched down is for a quilt made from the checkerboard blocks the guild did in the first quarter of this year.<\/p>\n

I don’t know if I made any of these blocks, but I recognize some of the fabrics. Perhaps they used fabrics I donated? I don’t know.<\/p>\n

I have to say that there is something to be said for using blocks of many colors. My versions with the sashing and monochromatic color scheme have a very different look. Mine are bigger also, because of the sashing and borders. I don’t think I have seen one of my tops completed by someone else yet. I am scared and eager to have some of them go out into the world.<\/p>\n

The binding uses leftovers, which was interesting. I tried to line up the colors in the quilt with the binding colors. It worked ok, but did not match exactly all over the quilt. That is ok.<\/p>\n

Whoever did the quilting did a great job. The hearts are subtle and I hope they convey love.<\/p>\n

UGH! I am making myself sick now. This post is DONE!<\/p>\n
