In this year's program post, Sarah requested the following:
On Sunday, March 24th, there will be a linky party where you can post links to your favorite on-line tutorials! It could be a tutorial for a quilt pattern, or a technique like machine binding, or even a recipe for your favorite "while-I'm-quilting" snack or crock-pot meal! You don't have to write the tutorial, you can link up to another blogger's tutorial. If you love it, someone else might too!
In case you missed the announcement, there are 5 charities from which to choose. This allows for YOU to choose an organization that meets the parameters that you set for your participation. Each one has their own desired size requirements.
Is there enough time in the day???
Since I needed something small, I will be making a quilt for Jack's Basket. The requested size for this charity quilt is approximately 36 x 36". Given my busy schedule, I thought this would be a manageable size for me to complete.
What shall I make??
I was inspired by the quilts that Nancy at Grace and Peace Quilting made last year. (53 of them!!!) She used 4 FQs and the Simple Gifts pattern from the mini book Fat Quarter Love. The resulting quilt finishes at 30" x 36". That's a fairly close match to the desired size. Here is the final quilt of 2018 that Nancy made for Jack's Basket:

ReplyDeleteFeel better soon. Lots of rest and fluids.
ReplyDeleteThese look like such a fun, sweet size quilt to make. Feel better soon. The flu is never fun,.
ReplyDeleteOh, ick! I'm sorry you're sick! But I know you'll knuckle down and get your charity piece sewn in time. JB is such a great cause :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing about Jack's Basket, Joy! And sharing my 53rd quilt. I can clearly see my experimenting going on--I tried out three different pantos on it, just to give the new ones a try!?! I'm sorry to hear about the influenza. Type A is going around here, too. Lots of Vitamin C. EmergenC was recommended to me by the NP.
ReplyDeleteOh no! So sorry you've got the flu. Hope you feel better really soon. Love your plan for the donation quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little quilt. Ugh on the flu!
