Hi, These are the last two queen size quilts I handquilted. The first is for a fundraising raffle for our local Linus Project. Another member made the top. The second is a lovely basket quilt handpieced and appliqued by a 86 year old lady at the Senior Center. She donated two other tops to the center for us to quilt and then raffle off. We decided to finish this one for her. I did most of the quilting at home because we wanted to have it finished while she could still enjoy it. Her health is not good.

This is the quilt made by the elderly lady. It won first prize and Reserve Champion at our Senior Day at the 4 H fair.

Very nice - great job. Love the color choices on the first one and the various baskets shapes on the second is fun.
