Recent community quilt finishes

As our community quilts program barrels along, quilts continue to roll in as they are finished either at community sewing days, or by members working at home.  These were handed in over a recent ten day period ...

Julie stretched out a pretty lily print with a little
maths and background fabric.

Another one from Julie - patchwork can be any shape that
fits a collection of fabric scraps. Tumblers might be next.

Purposeful placement of cloud prints makes a window
in the centre of Hilary's latest disappearing four patch.

One for a tool lover! Dawn found enough 'toolie' fabric
in the community stash for this quilt, and two more in
the making. The grey print is nuts and bolts.

Helen pieced the backing for a quilt she made last year from
flowery blue-ish scraps in her stash, but she was persuaded that
it should be another top and the community quilts collection grew
by two. It has now been quilted by Lynette, in vertical straight
lines in groups of three, and backed with a bargain buy blue spot.

The community collection is benefitting from considerable
over-lap with the end-of-year challenge to finish abandoned
projects. Nerida collected some little squares joined in rows
from the table, set them around a white spot and added corner
patches with native animal prints from her stash. She finished
it with delicate lemon hand stitching and a flannelette backing
to start our next collection for Blankets of Love.

Jill's little crib quilt is also finished with a little hand quilting.

Margaret K loves to sew for children, including quilts. 

She recently made six community quilt tops, giving our collection 

a very generous boost. These five were quilted and bound by 

Lynette, and the sixth one was basted at yesterday's 

community sewing day. All different, all delightful
