Quilt made on the serger other than the binding-Made at home requested by my serger club for a Children's Home. I used the cut off end scraps for a pillow. One square was smaller than the other 3 on the pillow so does not match in the center but nonetheless I got a pillow for the child. For the quilt squares they were made with 6 inch strips of fabric, serging 2 colors in a tube, then the cutting on a 45 degree ruler, open the cut square--each edge is on a diagonal so edges are stretchy. Then sew blocks together or with a sash to make them larger. Was a fast quilt top. Learned a new way to make a square.

This was very quick to do with that serger tube technique. Worst part was laying out on my carpet to pin layers. I always have to remove pins and still smooth out with my hand--fabrics seem to want to 'scoot'. Thanks Kim.

I'm glad we got to see the finished quilt. Very cheerful colors to uplift the child's heart.

I hope a boy gets this. I feel any of the other women will usually choose floral fabric or pastels. I'll get to see who turns in quilts on June 11. I tried using fabrics I had. Had to get a piece of scrap for my sash at our extension office donated fabric. Too far to drive to town for something that would do. Thanks Karen.
