Once I started quilting...
... It didn't take very long to finish:
I shared it at the first in-person Weekly Quilt Group in many months:
Since this was a group quilt which I assembled, Candy served as my "Finishing Fairy". She presented me with the completed quilt at last week's in-person meeting:
Thank you to Candy for the assist (and for originally suggesting the project to our group!) Thanks also to members who contributed blocks to this Pineapple Pieces Project charity quilt to benefit Brenner Children's Hospital and other organizations local to Pineapple Fabrics in Archdale, North Carolina. This quilt is sure to provide a bit of comfort to the child who receives it! The following members provided blocks for this quilt: Candy, Maggie (2), Ella, Ruth B., Joy (2), Britt, Ruth S., Deborah, Cheryl K., and our dear Joanna, who is no longer with us.
Here's a blog post from around the time that our blocks were collected last summer. As it turns out, the day that I had hoped to deliver the quilt (3/31/21) was the final day of the program. Since we would be delivering a completed quilt, I was told that it should pose no problem for it to be delivered at a later date. I'm happy to report that the quilt was delivered earlier in the week when several members of my Bee went on a Pineapple shopping spree:
This post shares a slide show of many of the quilts received by Pineapple Fabrics. A new Sewing It Forward project will be announced soon.
Until next time...
Finish MORE!!!
