Donation Quilts

This summer when we were redoing my studio I took a bunch of my UFOs and got them ready to make 36″ square quilts to donate to the outreach program at Village Squares Qulters.

On Friday I did pin baste the free quilt. Now to put George to work and have fun quilting it. When I had finished pin basting I decided to pull out one of my donation quilt tops and use the extra batting and pin baste it also. I have made the goal to complete at least one of these donation quilts each month. I am thinking that I will hold on to these donation quilts til after the QQQ Birthday Party because I might use these quilts as center pieces for the tables people will sit at for refreshments. Emily suggested that we bring all my sewing machines to the party to display. So, I think it might look kind of cool to have one of these 36″ quilts in the center of the table with a sewing machine sitting on top of it. If something happens to gets spills on it I’ll just wash it up before donating it.

This quilt is from a lap quilt I start years ago for a house in Colorado. There are two of these donation quilts and I am thinking that I might have to keep one of them for the new lecture that I am developing – A Quinquagenarian’s Quilt Quest – Five Decades of Quilting.

    Wow, you’re incredibly busy! I like the idea of quilts on the table as center pieces! That’ll be beautiful.

    UFO – Unfinished Objects (probably should be UFQ – but doesn’t have quite the same ring).

    Angie was asking me what UFO stands for. We decided maybe unfinished ?? but couldn’t think of the other word.
