Hello my Cuties! I finished this charity quilt the other day, but just now getting 'round to showing you. It's like my Buzz Cut QOV except, I made blocks smaller and only has 3 blades per quadrant. I have to say though this is the worse quilting I've ever done :(

It will go to a teenager or youth, so she may not notice. I was trying to open up my meandering by making larger puzzle pieces I call it but I'd get lost to where I needed to go. Oh well, it's quilted and bound so no turning back. I hope whoever does get it, likes it and all it's imperfections.
Have been 'under the weather' but hope you are well. Have a good day my friends-Toogie

I am not sure what you are talking about. I am a quilter and can not find anything wrong with it, so I am sure the receiver will not notice. Besides if she does, it will only confirm that some loving hands were involved and not a machine. Great job.

Thanks Angie. My movements were not smooth and so some stitches are tighter than others. Also, when I paused to move and to regrip my quilt, I made a point in places instead of curve.😩 It's not too many but I know. You are kind as always,😃

Toogie as the old saying goes "A blind man would be happy to see it" I think it's gorgeous and I've been quilting for 25 plus years and it doesn't matter if there are imperfections. Love the colours in this one. Love Chris

Thanks Chris, you always are good to lift my spirits. I forgot to say because I reduced my block that little blue square is 1 and 1/2 in...before the seams!!!😳😳😅

Toogie I am always amazed at your output. This is lovely and the fact that your passing it on to someone else is excellent.

Besides QOV our sewing group donates to CASA. It stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate for children that has to be removed from a home. Our hope is the quilts will help comfort them in their uncertainty.

It's lovely Toogie and I really like the block design. I don't think I've seen one like that before. Hope you're feeling better.

I saw one on Pinterest but I had to figure the pattern out myself. It was fun to make and goes together fairly quick. I can send you my PDF if you quilt. I made directions for our QOV members.
I think I'm better, hope so, thank you.
by sewtired 04 Oct 2019
I quilt, but infrequently. Still, if it is no trouble I would love to have the design. I hope you get better enough to know that you are feeling better.

Well, Toogie, it's not how perfect a project is, but how much love you put into it. When you give this to her, she will just see love. I enjoy this pattern as it gives a lot of motion to the quilt and the variation of the fabrics gives the eye a lot to look at and enjoy. Fabulous work!
