Blue Donation Quilt-almost free!
 

Several years ago I was given a lot of blocks, of various sizes, from the family of a lady that had passed away. I used 1 set of the blocks in this quilt and alternated them with a cute skateboard fabric I had in my stash. I also had the green binding fabric and used a blue sheet (sorry to those that just shuddered at the mention of using a sheet for backing) and quilted this in an overall meander. It was sent to a friend for a boys summer camp. She is trying to gather 35 quilts and currently has about 20! I'm glad I could add to her quest...and the most expensive part of it was the shipping...lol.[ATTACH=CONFIG]573234[/ATTACH] Thanks for looking!

fits perfectly for a summer camp. great quilt.

I would not have wanted to give it away!

Looks great, love the price. ..... I'm ok with a sheet backing.

That is a wonderful idea, and very sweet of you to help out. It came out great.

Very cute quilt and kudos to you for sharing your quilting work. Lucky recipients.

This will be perfect for a boy. What a wonderful use of gifted fabric and blocks.

Great quilt!

great job!

perfect for a boy. great design

Free is ALWAYS good! This quilt is perfect for a boy at camp. Someone will love receiving it. I've backed quilts w/sheets before...no problem. So nice of you to donate the quilt to a good cause. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Very attractive

Love it! Great work and great for the kids, too.

What a great quilt for a boy's summer camp. Nice job.

Pretty quilt. I love the skate board fabric. It brings back memories when my son was about 13, and began his skate boarding days.

Ditto. Someone is going to be very happy when they receive this quilt. BrendaK

great quilt... and i don't cringe at the sheet, just the shipping cost LOL

Very nicely done and someone will love it!

I really like that quilt! Well done!

Wow, nice quilt!

I think it looks great. And now my opinion on the statement "To those who shudder when you use a sheet for backing." My friend and I were just talking about this very thing this morning. I have never seen anyone that received a quilt get out their team of inspectors and say "Was this made with $15.99 a yard fabric or is it a sheet?"
I have used sheets many times to back a quilt. If you think about how much wear a sheet gets, to me it makes perfect sense. And it fits my limited budget.

very pretty quilt, love those fabrics. great job!

I love it, great summer camp quilt!!

Very pretty quilt! Perfect for the boys summer camp

A great quilt for a good cause!

Love your quilt and ideal for the boys!

I also use quilts whenever I can - love the feel of a used one that has been washed many times and "pre-softened" for the quilt.

That's a great quilt! I'm a fan of using sheets for my scrappy quilts...no shuddering here. lol

Nice quilt.

great looking quilt.:thumbup:

very nice quilt!!

Very nice, I'm sure it will be appreciated at the camp.

Love how you made all of it come together and made such a great quilt!
I also completely agree with Twinkie regarding sheets as backing...I've used them, and I will again.

Very nice, some young man will appreciate it. Most charities are always short on quilts appropriate for teens...this one is perfect.
