Charity Quilting

I love these stripes and dots!
So much movement from these fabrics.
How cute is this fabric? 
Mary, a quilter who works with Annapolis Quilts for Kids, pieced this wonderful quilt. Very precise piecing and such a fun finish.

Circle and Square

This week I finished my second Circle and Square hat.
I ran out of yarn as I neared the finish line so I switched to another self-striping yarn from Knit Picks with brown. It isn't perfect but it is warm.
Then I immediately cast on another one. This start looks like an avocado.

Four-Patch Fun

This is one of those projects that just sort of happens. I had this cute tweety bird fabric, but not a bunch, and some 2.5" strips in coordinating colors. Seemed a perfect combination. I paired up the blues with a strip of yellow and a strip of pink and made a bunch of little four-patch units. 
Then I added a single 3" border to frame it. I want to try this with a different background print so expect to see at least one more of these sometime soon. This was made with leftovers from backings for charity quilts. I'll add it to my stack of charity quilts to get quilted this month. I wonder if I have any yellow.

Charity Quilting

It's great to be back to working on charity quilts. 
This one is a scrappy wonder. So many different fabrics come together to make a great string quilt.
