TAKING MARY'S ADVICE

Hello Quilters!  Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  I had my great grandchild for a day, then went to his basketball game the next day, so I haven't had much time to sew.  However, I decided to take some advice from a recent blog post . It is about the Charity Group at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. I had been thinking about Mary's words that day, so I pulled out my tub of quilt tops.  After digging through the 17 tops, I decided to finish this one first and give it to charity.  It is small, 36" X 36", just the right size for a child.  And, I had the perfect backing for it, one that I thought a young child would like.

 I had two pieces of fabric that someone had donated to the Charity Group, so I sewed them together for the backing.  Aren't they cute!

The binding went on nicely too.  It is all sewn by machine.  I've been trying to increase my skills in that area.  Doesn't look too bad when you look at it from the back, which is usually where my problem is.  Don't forget, the Charity Group is always looking for quilts to donate.
