Sheriff's Department Donation Quilt
1 Attachment(s)
Our quilt guild has furnished lap quilts to the Sheriff's Department to use when a child is caught up in a bad situation. Our guild meets 2 - 3 times a week and I kept seeing four large blocks on a chair in the sewing room. I asked what they were for and the president said, " One of the members took a class on a puzzler quilt and didn't like how they were turning out so she donated them to the guild to use in a donation quilt."
After three months of looking at these blocks I decided I would take them home and see what I could do with them. The block in the lower right hand corner could have been turned so the color block was in the far corner. I didn't notice it until I went out to take a picture. I am sure that young children are not quilt inspectors yet so I am going to let it go. That same block with the green color in it had fabric that was a small zebra print with a zebra head in it. I had some of the same fabric that was a little larger so I decided to use it in the border. Hope it brings joy to a troubled child. [ATTACH=CONFIG]572962[/ATTACH] Thanks for looking |
I'm sure some child will enjoy that discarded quilt. You have brought new life to those 4 donated blocks. Good job!

Looks great the way it is. It will be a real comfort to someone in need.

Looks good. Means a great deal. I met an "emergency foster parent" who sought me out to say that she had a foster son taken from a meth lab house. Everything the child owned had to be destroyed so he arrived on her doorstep wrapped in a quilt I'd donated. He would not let it out of his clutches for days and it had to be in his sight for a lot longer. She said it was impossible to overstate the importance of these quilts.
