I've held off sharing this quilt hoping I'd find out more about the maker and design, but several weeks have gone by and I've learned nothing, so since it was something I used stashed fabric on, and counted in May's Fabric Usage, I figured I might as well go ahead and share it.
The quilt top was rescued off the Seattle MQG retreat free table by Amber @greenamberdawn, then longarm quilted by Jana @janalroyal. Besides to these two guild members, credit also goes to guild Giving Quilt chair Linda Teri, who passed the quilt off to me for binding, suggesting "contrast would be good."
Perfect! I was free to choose binding fabric from my own stash, and used a fun pink on pink dot to finish the quilt, which measured 60" x 72". I'll return the quilt to Linda at our June meeting for labeling and donating. This year, the guild is donating to Kenmore Senior Women’s Shelter, YWCA Pathways for Women, and Westside Baby, so the quilt will go to one of those organizations. Glad I could help make it happen.
ETA: THANK YOU to Wanda @exuberantcolor for identifying the quilt pattern for me! It's Pixie Stix from Strip Your Stash by Gudrun Erla @gedesignsgudrun. Whew. One piece of the puzzle solved.
The pattern for that quilt is in "Strip Your Stash" by Gudrun Erla, page 42, Pixie Stix. I recognized it because I had contemplated making the quilt at some point.
ReplyDeleteFun design, piecing and machine quilting, and great choice for the binding.!
ReplyDeleteThe binding is so good! What a pretty quilt (and I have that book, now I need to pull that off my shelf for a re-read! - so many projects, so little time LOL)
ReplyDeleteIt's so fun to see a rescued quilt top finished as a group effort. Love it when quilters come together to make a donation quilt. Your choice of pink binding was the perfect finish! Congrats to all of you.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is so pretty with all those lovely colours and your bright and fun binding added. I love Giving Quilts - and pray this finds a special person that needs the comfort of this 'quilt hug' to hold onto.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice for the binding, and I'm glad you have found out some of the information that you didn't have. I hope the recipient can feel the care that so many hands put into creating this for them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt. The quilting design is perfect for it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story! Glad you got an ID for the pattern.
