Lots of work, yes, but really mindless--at least while sewing the strips together. It is good for the moments when you just want to produce. Of course, there is a bit of trimming after I sew the strips, and I do not enjoy trimming!

I like the idea of using a strong-colored sashing to help get a feeling of symmetry and order to an otherwise "unplanned" quilt.

I have a huge bag of crumbs I'd like to make up into several quilts, but crumbs take longer to make than just sewing strips together. This actually can be done pretty quickly compared to a crumb quilt.

A great way to use left over pieces of fabric! Your quilts are beautiful and provide inspiration.

Lucky Charities to have you as a their special friend.
We have our own charity. We give out the quilts here to poor people or people who have lost everything in fires or have sick kids, or whatever....people with financial needs.

I'm undecided what to do with these quilts. I may "compromise" and finish them (by quilting-sewing, not tying, which is how we normally do the charity ones) and try to sell them to raise money for the batting, which I buy by the roll (30-50 meters, depending on the thickness). Or I might keep one or two of them, or whatever. I don't know.

The lines run kind of fuzzy in our lives.

Lots of things get donated to people who are in need that maybe never started out with that intention. I've not promised anyone what I'm going to do with them, so there are no obligations. We'll see. I just don't need all the quilts I already have.

Those who benefit from you must love the colour and warmth you bring to their livesvia your quilts and yourself. How generous of you.''

Keep up this important work! :)
