Default A charity quilt

This is one of my favorite quick quilts. It begins with cutting the 4 corners off a theme fabric (usually a large scale kid print), sandwiching and quilting that, then adding strips around that center. the very first one took me 2 1/2 hours not counting the binding. This one is going to a 94 year old in the local low income senior housing. Unfortunately, my shoulder is hurting, so I could not hang the quilt to show it off better.

PS My center piece is usually cut at 18" x 40"
