Quick Strippie Donation Quilts
#15
Yes, it's very rewarding... Our charity quilting group gets some of the most touching thank you letters! I love donating.
Forgot to mention what a great stashbuster this quilt is! I cut out four of them at one time and was able to use things I had in my stash for too long. As Jan mentioned, it's wonderful for large prints you don't want to cut. I usually select a large print for the widest stripes, then a smaller print or tonal for the medium stripes, then a contrasting solid for the skinny stripes. It takes me about an hour to make the top, including cutting time. Quilting... not so quick. But at least the piecing is fast.
