Hospice Quilt-joint effort


Here is a picture of a beautiful quilt for our local Hospice. The vast majority of the piecing was done by a dear friend. She just did not fall in love with the fabric and grew weary of it.

I pieced the last 2 blocks and put it all together. Then onto my Handiquilter it went and VOILA--here is a beautiful quilt for some lovely lady.

Take a look in your house and see what blocks could go into a top. Get them out and moving into charity quilts. Exchange them with another quilter for a fresh new look. The result will be fabulous and you will feel much better to have them out of your house and helping someone else.

Your quilts are so beautiful --- I hope one day to get better at making quilts and having the time to do it.
