I am glad, because I want all of my donation quilts to have good energy in them not &#8220;get this done, stupid quilt!&#8221; energy. I don&#8217;t know if it makes a difference, but better safe than sorry.<\/p>\n<p>I checked back and the first post about this quilt was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2014\/01\/blackgrey-donation-quilt\/\" target=\"_blank\">back in January of last year<\/a>. I know I started making it using these colors, because I was grieving for my grandmother. I think I became anxious to get it finished, because the grief, while not gone, is much better. I think she would be pleased to know that I did something good with the grief. Perhaps not as she didn&#8217;t think too deeply about feelings, but I like to think it.<\/p>\n<p>The quilt is approximately 65.5&#8243; square.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26994\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26994\" style=\"width: 292px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/DSCN0091sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-26994\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/DSCN0091sm-292x300.jpg\" alt=\"Black &amp; Grey Donation Back Complete\" width=\"292\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/DSCN0091sm-292x300.jpg 292w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/DSCN0091sm.jpg 902w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 292px) 85vw, 292px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Black &amp; Grey Donation Back Complete<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I also made the back, which I think came out pretty well.
