I had big plans to make at least one quilt, maybe more, to donate this year. Unfortunately, life got in the way this spring, with a crazy work schedule in March and April, plus occasional knee and hip pain that greatly limited my sewing time. Since I don't have a finished quilt to donate, I contacted Sarah about sending a quilt top and backing. She very generously offered to do the quilting for me, on top of everything else she has done in putting together the H2H Challenge. Thanks, Sarah--you are amazing!
The quilt top I have decided to donate is one that I finished last year. It is mostly made from 9-patch blocks that were left over from earlier projects. The top measures 59" x 69.5", and the muted colors would work well for a man's quilt.
For the back I tried to use up the rest of the 9-patch blocks (but there are probably still a few hiding around here!)
Check out all of the gorgeous quilts that have been made for the 2016 Hands 2 Help Challenge. Thanks again to Sarah for all the hard work she does in putting together this wonderful charity quilt drive!

That is beautiful, Julie - I especially love the way you laid out the back! Thanks for participating in H2H again this year!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the top, and also that pattern you've made with nine patches on the back! It will be someone's cherished treasure!
ReplyDeleteI remember this one. It's a great guy quilt, very subtle color scheme. Hope you are feeling better and that work has calmed down a bit.
