pink squares for Children's Advocacy Center

Judy gave me a grocery bag of 6" squares ( some 5 1/2" - some 7"). Some of them were already sewn together in pairs. I made 2 kid-sized quilts so far, and have enough squares for at least 2 more. We were donated the dotted swiss more than a year ago - several shoeboxes full (FULL!) of 2 3/8" squares. Turns out a nine-patch of them goes together quite nicely with 6" squares.

four more for Children's Advocacy Center

Image
Our 4-5 person library quilt group meets every second and fourth Tuesday. We have made and delivered more than 130 assorted-sized kid's quilts to the local Children's Advocacy Center. We have at least a dozen more done, and yesterday I bound these four as well.

Made more hats for Cheyenne River Reservation - all (but one) made from donated baby yarn in yellow or blue, and leftover sock yarn - the ends after socks were made.

http://twiggyandopal.blogspo t.com/2018/07/it-wouldnt-s top-growing.html  Someone donated a big bag of trimming scraps to our library quilting group. Even though they are scraps, I can cut a number of one-and a half inch strips from each piece. Someone else donated a big bag of items to our local senior center. They also have a quilting group, but they didn't want these pieces. They included the white sheeting that you see here - old, but still strong.  This pattern is paper-pieced, and even though I have made a number of errors, I think they are looking good.
