If you would like to learn more about this charity please read about it here. Lynne tells it way better than I could. And there is a Flickr group here.
I asked for 12" (finished) blocks in purples, blues and aquas. I got a beautiful selection of all those colours. I think they blend together really well.
The blocks were pieced into six rows of four so the finished quilt is 48"x72". I backed it in the ubiquitous Ikea number print and used Kona Charcoal for the binding. The quilting was a big loopy fmq to keep it nice, sort and cuddly.
I think this quilt would suit a girl, but not a really girlie girl. I really hope that the recipient loves it and knows that she is as important in this world as every other individual.

The recipient will love it!
ReplyDeleteI just love a good churn dash block. Love the colors in the quilt.
ReplyDeleteFab quilt, and a great charity, i am sure it will be much loved and appreciated!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, I'm sure it will be treasured.
ReplyDeleteIt's really lovely! Having a non-girly-girl myself, she would certainly love this! Jxo
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant and I think you're right about the girl thing. Not every girl wants pink and girlie prints and colours. I think whoever gets it they'll love it!
ReplyDeleteA great quilt for a great cause. I agree about the colours and I love churn dash blocks! Well done!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will be used and well loved by a very deserving little girl.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt will make the world of difference to a child - she will know that there is much love in each and every fibre of your quilt.
ReplyDeleteIm sure that the recipient will be thrilled. Love the charcoal for the binding - it frames the whole wuilt so beautifully.
