One of my quilting friends recently lost her sister, who was an avid quilter and made hundreds of quilts for charity. The family went through her quilting room and found a ton of unfinished projects. So, my friend put the projects into baggies and has been handing them out to some of us to finish and donate to charity.
I picked up 2 of them. The first one was made entirely of Fairy Frost, a line of shimmery fabric that was popular a few years ago. I added 2 large borders to make it the 50" x 60" size that they used for donated quilts. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture before I passed it along.
The second one was so close to being finished. There were 20 12" blocks all done and the backing was sewn together. All it needed was to have some sashing cut and then sew it all together. I decided to use only 16 of the 12" blocks to keep the quilt a reasonable size. It ended up being 58" x 58". Here is the completed top:
My friend and her family will quilt these tops and I may get them back to finish up the binding. And I hope whomever gets these quilts likes them!
