Start of the Kids Quilt Project

I have had some help from some lovely ladies to help cut and start piecing some quilt tops for the Sew Good – Kids Quilt Project (see details under Sew Good tab). 35 quilts is a huge task and it is taking me a couple of hours to cut and piece each quilt. I have set no time limit on the project – as most of us work, we will just meet when we can and see how we go.

We are putting together simple strip quilts from fabric we have purchased and donated from others. We have a lot of beginner quilters so it is great to share and help them learn some quilting basics. The quilts will be approximately 40-42″ x 50 -54″ -child’s size. We have 6 tops pieced and sewn, which is a great start. A nice local quilting lady has offered to purchase a roll of wool wadding for us and we can repay as we fundraise. A big thanks to that lady, she knows who she is and all the others who have donated their fabrics, time and effort!

I will post the quilts as we finish them.
