For a Silent auction
 
1 Attachment(s)
I just finished this on time! The auction is the seventeenth of this month. In all fairness though, I just found out from hubby I was to make it. LOL! Men, they think we are wonder women. I hope it brings a fair amount of money for the parents of a deathly sick little boy in the hospital. I call it "Paint it Black" like the song. But, I won't tell them that.

Oh that is so nice and colourful! Hope it brings in a good amount for them.

Bright and beautiful, should bring in some money for the family.

Hubby asked for an Art quilt. I just didn't know what else to do but to use the batik fabrics in this quilt. I am not a art quilt maker.

I had the black 80/20 batting on hand and ordered the black and dark grey backing at amazon so it would be on the fast track to me. The weavings are quilted with a variegated thread and of course the black with a black. I was happy with it and that is saying something. I am my worst critic. It is quilted so it could be hung or used. Pretty heavily.

Looks great! I like black in my quilts. It makes the colors "pop" or stand out.

Jane Quilter 08-10-2018 04:16 PM

so very colorful! Such a good cause.

redquilter 08-10-2018 04:27 PM

That's so pretty. Looks like stained glass panels. Hope it brings in a lot of money and sending prayers for the little boy

Thank you all very much for your prayers. I have been praying too. Hubby took it to the auctioneer of the event to have it ready for presentation on the seventeenth.

You've just confirmed your hubby's belief that you are a wonder woman! Gorgeous quilt for a great cause. Prayers and good thoughts.

Boston1954 08-11-2018 11:09 AM

Love it! And you are a wonder woman. :)

That's a beautiful quilt & I hope it brings in a ton of $ at the auction. Thank you for making this for the family & my prayers are being lifted up also for God's healing in this young boy's life & for strength & comfort to his parents.

Put the value high. We start all of our donations 1/2 the value at our silent auctions. I would hope that under the circumstances, people will be very benevolent. Keep us posted.

SusieQOH 08-11-2018 12:52 PM

I think you ARE a wonder woman to get that beauty done so fast! :D
Hope it brings in a lot of money.

Sorry to take so long to get back to the thread. I had to garden for a while outside. It was a jungle out there!
Thank you all for your nice comments girls. The auction is tomorrow. Crossing my fingers here.

Not much notice and you still did great ! Reminds me of a story told by my friend, it went like this: Granddaughter (who lives a stone’s throw away) comes to Grandma’s house and asks if she would make a crocheted afghan for a school fundraiser. Of course Grandma can do it. When do you need it ? Tomorrow !

RedGarnet222 08-16-2018 03:48 PM

I love that story. It really does make you wonder what people think.
