A Comfort Quilt Just in Time!

Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict hosts Hands2Help every year. You can read about this awesome effort here.. You can read about my journey to this charitable organization here.

A small quilt ready to be mailed to Jack's Basket. From the pattern Simple Gifts by Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr of Modern Quilt Studio.

The fabrics were not fat quarters, but large chunks leftover from various projects. The Pooh fabrics were from a quilt I made for my 2nd Great grandson in 2013. The green swirl fabric was from an over-purchase of fabric that I used to create a Mommy Bag for my granddaughter. The peach was from my 30's stash and is now nearly all gone. I have used it my bow tie blocks for RSC19 (the May color is Orange), it was in a block in the 30 Blocks in 30 Days quilt but was originally purchased for a block in a 30's Sampler quilt that was a donation for our local quilt show prior to 2011. I cannot remember why I have the red with white dots, but I like it and there is at least  3/4 of a yard still in my stash.

This fabric is soooo cute!  Pooh and Piglet, what could be better?

 The quilting was done by my friend, Marva Jo in record time. I gave it to her at our stitching group meeting on a Thursday, and by Friday at noon she called me to say it was finished! Whoo Hoo!  She used a variegated green thread in a pattern called Spring Fling. There are flowers and butterflies. It fits so well.

The backing: two Pooh fabrics and more green swirls!

Pooh and Friends  Hello Little Cloud!

I am excited that this precious quilt is done and ready to be revealed at our challenge reveal day. Then I will package it up and mail it off to Minnesota.

Thanks Sarah for giving me the opportunity to participate in your Hands2Help Challenge. It won't be the last time. 

I will link this post to Confessions of a Fabric Addict linky party on the 19th.

I will also add it to Finished or Not Friday, Oh Scrap, and **Can I get a Whoop Whoop after I post it on Sunday. 

**I decided not to add to Can I Get A Whoop Whoop as the post is already on Sarah's blog through the  linky party for Hands2Help! I did not want to be so redundant!

I would love to be able to find a local way to help also, but other than Quilts of Valor, there doesn't seem to be an avenue for donation quilts.

Stay Busy and Stay Happy
