Finally finished isolation project

It’s been quite a year for everyone..decided to use my giant bag of strips and scraps and orphan blocks..I string
pieced for months..then assembled into quilts...made 11 lap or wheel chair quilts, 6 larger throws, and two twin quilts..all from my stash, til it came to backings..I bought multiple yards of flannel whenever it was on sale, to make nice soft backs..then I either quilted with decorative stitches or quilted in the hoop on embroidery machine..will eventually donate to nursing homes or Hospice when possible again. Looks a bit insane, right? |
Wow!!!!! Sounds like you've been really busy!!!!!!!!! I'm sure they'll be appreciated very much. They're all beautiful.
|
Super. Using up what is in our sewing room is so satisfying. Well done.
|
They look great! Your efforts will make many people very happy.
|
Looking great! I, too, am trying to use up my scraps although I keep making more scraps!
|
All of your quilts are beautiful and you certainly have been busy. Love the butterfly backing. You have been very productive in these trying times in the world.
|
I love strip quilts and yours are beautiful. Great job!
|
Beautiful quilts. I am making a QAYG strip quilt at the time.
|
11 quilts! That's an achievement in itself. And they are lovely, too!
|
Yes, this has been an excellent year to dig into what is at hand and create then donate.I have been tracking my accomplishments this 2020 and have been surprised at the number of quilts I have made mostly to give away. Oldquilter, congratulations on using what you had, clearing away those strips and making warmth for others. Sometimes the "thank you" is all we need to return to our stash and make just one more.
|
Great use of all those stash scraps. Your quilts are all wonderful and will be very appreciated when you donate them.
|
Those quilts look great!! It sure has been a year for quilting, hasn't it?
|
Great work. I love string blocks to start with greatest way to use up many of our scraps. These quilts will be well appreciated. I know just how much too. Both from the professional side where I would give them to residents and on the receiving side. My mother is in a nursing home and loves the quilt she got from a wonderful quilter. Thank you for all your efforts.
|
You have been very busy and Your work looks awesome. Using what you have is a great feeling.
|
Thanks everyone for kind comments..I was actually able to deliver them to nursing home this morning..they are in lockdown, but met me at door, said they would isolate them for three days and then distribute..they were very appreciative..
|
Scraps turned into beautiful quilts for others! So many will enjoy what you've accomplished this year. God Bless You
|
Amazing achievement. I lose interest too fast to do this so my donations quilts are always so different; however, this is such a great pattern for scraps busting. Well done.. these will be treasured..
