A Quilt for Hands2Help




Checking in today with my progress on a quilt for this year's Hands2Help comfort quilt drive.

I started making these blocks awhile ago using a layer cake of Hello Darling from Bonnie and Camille and a free block tutorial from Cluck Cluck Sew called Easy Stack, Cut, and Sew Blocks.  Because I had pulled a few of the squares out of the layer cake here and there for various other projects, I ended up with enough squares to make 25 blocks that measure 8.75 inches square.


I decided that I wanted to make a small quilt for Jack's Basket, so I chose 16 of the blocks to use, and added a narrow green outer border to make the quilt about 36 inches square.


I love the lime green, red, and turquoise in these blocks, and the strawberries!


I found this fun polka dot fabric for the backing binding.


The next step is to layer, baste, and quilt this little top, and today would be the perfect day to get going on that, so I guess I'll get to work!

    that type of block is so good for a donation quilt, they go together quickly and look great when done - the type of quilt you like to send off to another

    This is such a fun pattern with so many possibilities. Lime Green works beautifully with red and white. I am sure it will make a lovely little quilt.
