My guild decided to make wheelchair quilts to donate to a local nursing home. It was my job to pick a pattern and go pick up all the fabric, so I made a practice one to make sure everything was right. I picked the single irish chain quilt because most of our guild are newbies, and this is a very easy pattern. The quilt is 34" x 44". Today I finished up this one, and my friend and I got to go shopping for all the other fabrics. We got fabric for 12 quilts, plus all the thread, batting, and everything else we might need. It was a lot of fun to go shopping for everything!

Thanks for looking.
