Quilts Finished for Hands2Help2020


     So far I have 2 finishes especially made for H2H charities this year. I have had PLENTY of time to sew and quilt.
First I searched my stash of flannel for some suitable for a baby. Since flannel can be stretchy, I used a 1/2 inch seam allowance and sewed with my Walking Foot. It went together quickly and smoothly. I used a fluffy poly batting and instead of using binding I turned it pillowcase style. It is very soft and cuddly.  This is one will go to Little Lambs foundation for kids. 


      Next I raided my 4 1/2” strip tub to make a child's comfort quilt to finish 48” by 60”. I had just enough solid black. The top was pieced by mid-afternoon and I have pulled fabrics for the backing. I adapted a free pattern from Northcott designed by Kari Nichols andPatti Carey called “Colorworks” The link is from their achieved patterns.  This quilt is planned for Quilts for a Cure.


Hope you are all staying healthy and finding plenty of time to sew and quilt for someone who needs comfort.
