One of my goals this year was to use my stash to create some donation quilts. (My guild donates to kids in the foster care system.) I had lots of leftover charm squares in my stash so I decided to make a HST quilt! I played around a bit with layouts and am happy with the result.

The HST were started as part of a guild retreat in November. They are easy to sew while chatting with others. I made good progress doing the sewing part but then let them sit for a while because trimming and ironing!
We have guild members who volunteer to LAQ our charity quilts. I need to pull together a backing and then get this quilt submitted. Can't wait to see all that quilty texture so that it can be donated.
The current size is 50" x 60" which is the minimum size that we want to donate. I am still thinking of making it just a bit bigger although I've yet to find a white fabric in my stash that is the same white.
I like the symmetric layout you chose. With all your scraps, it makes a delightful eye spy quilt!
ReplyDeleteHave you decided yet? My idea was to use different low volume and b/w scraps for the rest of the HST and add them like a border... Just a thought. This sure looks very cool and will make someone very happy however you decide! xo
