Recent community quilt finishes


Janet whipped up a cot quit from her batik stash,
including the backing.




Can you see the two slightly different blocks in this quilt made by
Elaine W? It’s a smaller version of Amy Ellis’s design
‘Whispered Lace’ from her book Modern Neutrals.



How often could you be as lucky as Anne? She went to a branch
 of The Sewing Basket to drop off some donations, and right
 there she found all of the whirlygig blocks for the centre of this
quilt, already stitched, and packaged with a length of turquoise
fabric for the sashing. So of course she bought it and finished
it into a community quilt.




This one was a team effort - the feature fabrics were donated by
members, Helen packaged them into kits with bright sashing
fabrics, and Pam put the top together. Anne took the basted top,
quilted and bound it.




Another kit of donated feature prints and sashing ended up with Jill.

The backing fabric is an early Jocelyn Proust print found at Spotlight
for a rare bargain price of $4/m just a few months ago.


A little cot quilt top made entirely from scraps in Jill’s stash,
and sashing and border fabric shopped from Sue’s …

…  the backing fabric was a donation to the community
stash, and the binding wax a latefind in Jill’s cupboard,
 just enough with 2” to spare.
