Our quilting guild is creating charity quilts from grab bags of fabric. We could add to the fabric in the bag if we wanted. I just finished the first quilt top, as I am making two quilts from the bag I took. I am pretty pleased with it, and this was a fun project.

I abandoned the first pattern I had selected, as I didn't quite have enough fabric. I added the light blue from my own stash. I am quite pleased with the results....and I keep telling myself that it really doesn't look like a tablecloth!

These particular quilts are being made for family members of folks who lost their homes in our recent wild fires. We call them comfort quilts, not charity quilts...but the idea is the same. This grab bag idea is my sister's idea, and I think it is a winner. We need about 50 quilts, and I think 50 grab bags got taken.

Anyway...please tell me it doesn't look like a tablecloth...

I love that -- I've added it to my to-do list!

I think it looks just great, very light and summery and not a tablecloth at all, thanks for doing this for those who truly need it.

Neat...dragon flies.. Hey, It doesn't look like a tablecloth !!!!!!

It looks very relaxing. Deffinately not a table cloth.

beautiful QUILT..... not a tablecloth at all!!

It does NOT look like a tablecloth! Looks like the topper for a great comfort quilt! :thumbup: I can see some little girl loving it to pieces (no pun intended ).

Pretty quilt!

It is so pretty!!!

I love your quilt. It doesn't resemble a tablecloth at all. Very pretty. Love the pattern!

Can you share what pattern you used? I like it.

It's really nice! Not a tablecloth...

I got it from quilterscache.com. It is called Squares within Squares 2.
Go to the S's and scroll down. Make sure it has the 2. There are two pages to the pattern, and the only problem I had was it didn't say how much fabric you needed for a whole quilt...just how much was needed for one square.

Someone on this board had made a quilt using this pattern, but I can't recall who. That's how I found it. She said she made the top in 3 hours, but it took me longer than that. :) I am still fairly new to quilting.

Thanks everyone for saying it doesn't look like a tablecloth! I am starting to believe you. :)

sew pretty!!!! And so nice of you to do this for charity!

it looks like lovely quilt, not like a tablecloth at all!

Very pretty quilt, thanks for doing this project!

Direct link to pattern...(It took me a while to find it, and I knew where to look!!)

It is a beautiful quilt! So summery and feminine. Someone will be very happy with it!

That is lovely and it does NOT look like a tablecloth.

I love your quilt and it doesn't look like a tablecloth. I am partial to dragon flies.

Wow...from a "grab bag"? Really Beautiful!

it's a very pretty quilt top - don't see a tablecloth when looking at it. good job.

very nice quilt

I agree - I don't see a tablecloth at all. I see a gorgeous quilt that will bring great comfort to some individual in need. Great project!

It is beautiful! I am sorry to hear about the wildfires. Just thinking about them brings up my feelings and memories when we had them here. Scary! You are doing a wonderful thing by making these and I am sure the recipients will be comforted by these quilts.

That is so very pretty! So feminine....I love it!

Very nice....and I showed it to my mom and we both agree that it DOESN'T look like a tablecloth!!! :thumbup: :D

Very nice quilt...nothing at all like a tablecloth. Will really bless some girl's heart.

The color blue is very restful! And isn't the state flower of Texas the bluebonnet?

You are right. Our state flower is the bluebonnet. I had not realized those were blue bonnets, but I believe you are right, they are. It has been so dry this year that there were not many bluebonnets, and those that came up died almost instantly. Sad. Usually we have them everywhere. (I live in the country. They aren't everywhere in town.)

The colors are so soft & sure to be comforting to some one very dear.

It looks pretty.

Very pretty QUILT!

That's so pretty!! Someone will treasure it!! Great job for a good cause... :thumbup: :D :thumbup:

It does not look like a tablecloth. What a wonderful idea and kudos to all of you involved in "comfort quilts". Thank you for sharing.

It sure doesn't look like a tablecloth to me - just a very pretty quilt.

that is such a pretty quilt, love it and i love making that block.

Is that ever pretty :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

No it doesn't look like a table cloth :) I love the colors they are so delicate looking, and the dragon fly - well - lovely. Would love to see it when it's finished.

I would never have thought of a tablecloth. Very cute quilt.
