Philanthropy Quilt for the Valley MQG

A few months ago, I picked out a project bag from our Valley MQG Philanthropy table.  It's a quilt top that needs to be pieced.  This is what was in the bag.

 


 

There were some scrap fabric, a 7.5" finished block and there was an instruction saying: " No pattern, create your own.  Min size 36" x 36", larger if you can."  I like the part that says 'create your own'.  It sounds like a challenge to me.

I set out to cut some more pieces.  There's enough yellow fabric to cut out 9 more center blocks.  So I cut out 10 purple 6" squares for center of the blocks.   I will make 10 yellow blocks with purple borders and 10 purple blocks with yellow borders.  This is what I have on my design wall so far.

 


The final layout will be decided when all the blocks are done.  So far so good, I think.  :-))


Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful week.

  1. I like the start to your own creation - that fabric would certainly catch my eye too. I just clicked on your link to the Valley MQG and saw that you had been a guest speaker there - congratulations! We feel lucky that you shared with us at To Do Tuesday! :)

  3. Nice start on the quilt. It's always nice to get a philanthropy quilt made and passed on. (Although I must admit I'd rather use my own fabric as I have way too much of it!) Enjoy the sewing.
