Community quilts in series

Sometimes we do plan community quilts more than others. The first two here are part of a series of three made from a very generous donation of a coordinated range of bright, playful fabrics. The third is the first of a series of four Noelle is planning from her collection of French General fabrics. We are very grateful for such generosity from so many, as the quilts’ new owners will be.

‘Playball’ is a clever pattern by Emily Bailey that lends
itself to fabrics that appeal to children. Several members made
up the four patches starter blocks, then Sue C attached
the corner triangles and trimmed them, ready for three 
quilts to be put together.

Low volume sashing was added, and Laura quilted all
three on her long arm machine.

The fun backing and binding for this one came from Susan K 

who big-stitched the binding down by hand.

This cute backing was bought on sale, and Sue C found
the co-ordinating stripe for the binding. 

Ann stitched the binding down and put some
fancy stitches into the label.

Noelle loves her French General fabrics, and has made
several quilts from her collection. She says it’s time to trim
her stash and she estimated that she has enough left for
 four French General community quilts!

Laura’s quilting again adds to this beautiful quilt.
