Charity Veteran's Quilt is Finished

I finished my charity Veteran's Quilt and turned in at our local quilt guide meeting. In November, all of these charity quilts for veterans will be delivered to our veterans in the nursing homes.

I used a panel for the project then added a blue border.

A piano border made from red, white and blue fabrics was added.

The quilt was quilted and a red border was added.

Halloween Quilt

When I was at our in-town retreat by our local quilt guild, one of the ladies was making a quilt from an Eleanor Burns book: "Quick Trip Quilts." She said it was quick and easy and that was right up my alley.

I wanted to make a small Halloween throw. So here is my finished quilt:

At our retreat, we also have a sale where members can sell fabric they haven't used or smaller pieces that were left over from other projects. I found Halloween fabric on one of the tables and thought I hit the jackpot.

The fabric is cut in strips, sewn together, then a tube is made.

The instructions are pretty easy to follow and tell you where to cut your tube to create the design. You make half of the quilt then make the other half.

Next you make the other half, sew the two halves together, add borders, quilt it, sew the binding and you are done. I did add a small decorative stitch on the border after I did the quilting. (just playing around with my new machine). The decorative stitch did take a lot of thread.

The quilt was fun and went pretty quickly.

Thanks for stopping by - Judy.
