charity quilt

Mom and dad retired to Maine in a predominently seasonal property area. There was a very small library (run mostly by volunteers, and only open a few hours a week) that dad went to every week. Being an avid reader, I think he read most every book in the library.
I decided to make a quilt out of 2 1/2 inch squares I had been cutting my scraps into, and donate the quilt to the library in my father's name. I contacted the director, and told her they could either hang the quilt in the library, or raffle it off to benefit the library.
I'm making a trip to New England in October, and will personally deliver the quilt to the library.

Great quilt and kudos to you for supporting the library that your father enjoyed!

Wonderful idea!
So many libraries are financially strapped, especially in smaller towns.
