Charity Quilting

Beautifully pieced by Mary V.

I think this is the last of the red, white, and blue quilts. I got so lucky finding coordinating borders. 

Both quilts will be headed to Annapolis Quilts for Kids.

Over the last week I've managed to sew the half-square triangle units together. I'm pleased with the layout. It is scrappy and not very controlled. If I had placed each half-square triangle I would have a completely different outcome. Maybe next time. 

I cut the inner and out borders, and binding. 

Nicely pressed binding ready for the quilt. Now to get the borders added so I can do some quilting.

I pieced this fun variation of the nine-patch block using 2.5" by 4.5" bricks. A 2.5" by 12.5" strip added to each lets you offset the nine-patches. Bordered with 3.5" strips for a great finish.

I'm almost done using up these leftover red, white, and blue strips. I really like this one.

I love how this odd blocks quilt turned out. The borders tie it all together. 

This one I made using colors from the border print.
