2019 Charity Quilts #61-70
These are what I completely finished this week!
I took two week’s worth to the building - I knew I needed to do it before 20 became 30. That becomes a much bigger deal!
Getting the quilts made is only part of it. Then I wash, let air dry, photograph them, take them to the building and then later distribute them which has its own set of challenges. But first, of course, is “get them made!”
I then took a quick picture of the whole lot so far. This is a pile that includes 60 quilts finished in 2019 plus some that were leftover from earlier this year. I had almost NO adult type quilts back in January so I’m very happy that at least half of of these are for ‘tweens and older. I don’t mind the kids’ of course, but I found that I had nothing for ladies - which was a shame! I had mostly kids’ leftover in January - so I still have those to distribute. It is better to have a nice mix of ladies/men’s, young adult and kids’ quilts to choose from. A lot of these current patterns can really be for anyone except pretty much young children. They probably aren’t going to choose a relatively boring brown and green quick strippy design like you see on the top of the right hand pile in the picture above!
My pile is getting bigger!!! Love it! These are not organized in any way at all. I put put them in piles. Maybe I’ll “play “ with them later and organize by what I think might be adults/kids and/or men/women and kids. We’ll see. At the moment, I’m just admiring the colors!
At home, the good thing is that I did manage to get all the rest sandwiched that I need for now, to reach my goal for 2019. It helped use up a lot of the misc. backing pieces I had and left my mind much more clear about what I have for the batches starting in January. I have saved some more of the really fun and pretty backings for next year’s groups…can’t wait to use it!
Actually that isn’t right. I was lying in bed last night thinking about this and realized I wrote the wrong numbers on there. These are quilts 41-60. 61-70 are in my living room at the moment all in a nice stack. It gets confusing and I suppose it doesn’t really matter.
Have a great day wherever you are reading this!
