Last week I got to work on my donation quilt for the International Institute of New England. I've had two charm packs of Thomas Knauer's Asbury fabric line in my stash for ages. It's so bright and fun and even gender neutral. I also had a yard of this crazy-bright yellow that helped the colors pop even more. I used a very simple pattern by Elizabeth Hartman, found here, on Sew Mama Sew. The only change I made was to add borders on the side.
I used coordinating stash fabrics for the back and scraps of binding from previous quilts- something I've always wanted to try out. The quilt measures 40 x 43.
Please see my previous post if you are interested in donating a baby quilt/blanket/afghan etc. to help refugees in the New England area. Soon after I published that post, someone commented on it and asked where to send the quilts but the comment disappeared for some reason. If you'd like the address for sending quilts, please directly email me at LaurieEMatthews @ gmail dot com
Linking up to Finish it up Friday at Crazy Mom Quilts.
