Thought I'd take a few moments to share a few pictures of quilts I made about three years ago for an organization called Wrap Them In Love. These quilts were made with um, less than pretty fabric, otherwise known as "why did I think this fabric was pretty enough to buy?" -- uglies. But the fabric has been used in a quilt and a child has been blessed and kept warm with that quilt of ugly fabric. So that is a win-win to me. The pattern is a simple Rail Fence block. I don't remember the exact size of these quilts, but they were probably a larger sized lap quilt, but definitely not big enough for a twin sized bed. The quilting was just a stipple all over. My favorite is the last one - the one with purple fabric.



Let me share a bit about Wrap Them In Love (WTIL). I honestly can't even remember how I first heard of WTIL, but I first joined their Yahoo group in December 1999. To me a quilt represents love and snuggles. I have a greater appreciation for all that a quilt is and can do for someone since I'm made a few. If you are interested in seeing gallery of quilts that spans from 1999-2007, then just click on over to WTIL and at the bottom you'll see the links for the gallery pages. I've also provided a link on my sidebar. |
