Blogger’s Quilt Festival – Fall 2011

Amy'sCreativeSide

This quilt was made as part of my 2011 charity challenge. I had a set of Kaffe Fassett fat quarters and some leftover jelly roll strips and this is what came out of it. I love the bright happy colors and I hope it cheers a child who needs it!

Charity quilt - Pinwheels Aplenty

The challenge was to complete 5 child-sized quilts to be donated to a woman in my guild who was collecting them for a local charity. This is the second quilt – I have since finished the top of the third and am working on the top of the fourth. I am holding off on quilting them because I’m hoping to soon be buying an extension arm for my machine.  That should make quilting them much easier.  A girl can dream, right?

Thank you for stopping by!!  Leave a comment to say hi :)
