This and That

      Last week I worked on several projects. My church quilt group was asked to make a quilt for the youth fundraiser. I created the design in EQ. In December members sewed all the HSTs. Wednesday we sewed them into nine patches. I brought them home and sewed all the rows together.

Next a white inner border and navy outer border will be added. It will finish at 56” by 72”. I hope it will raise a good amount for the youth activities and mission.

      I sandwiched the Kenny Koala top and started quilting. I am custom quilting and no photo of the progress.  

       When I wanted something else to sew for a bit, I used 4 similar orphan blocks and pieced 4 placemat tops. I cut backing for them but that is where I paused to find batting scraps that will suit. It is so hard for me to get rid of orphan blocks and scraps. I am very glad these will make nice placemats for Meals on Wheels clients.
