Three 3-1 yard quilts for charity
 
4 Attachment(s)
Since I have numerous fabrics with about one yard left, I decided to try Donna Robertson's 3-1 yard quilts. She used strip piecing and I was surprised how fast they cut and sewed together. Quilting them took longer LOL I was going to send them all to Quilts Beyond Borders, but then the Lahaina fires happened and the Quilted Twins had a contact in Maui, so the first two went there. We had just returned from Maui, less than 2 weeks prior, and had shopped and eaten in the strip where the concentration of the fire was. We were devastated for the loss of life, housing and employment for the people. I was in such a hurry to send them that I only have pictures after I sandwiched them. The last one is the one for QBB, and is shown completed. They all measure about 40" x 60", so I could just use the width of fabric x length to back them. As you can see from the completed quilt's photo, I still had to piece some backings, but more stash fabric is gone.

Those are great. Good for you.
The stupid News is trashing Oprah for buying land that burned. They need to find out what she intends to do with it before they make assumptions. Charity is great!

While I absolutely love your quilts I really really like the back as well as the front of 4& 3. Great causes and great of you to be on the ball, so to speak, with your provisions.

Pretty quilts. I'm sure the people who receive them will love them and be grateful.

I love Donna's 3 yard quilt patterns too!

Oh, those quilts just go to show what amazing things can come from "leftovers"! I especially love the first one - it's so interesting to look at how the pattern is created. I'm glad you were able to post the pictures. :-)

Wonderful Quilts! It always amazes me that a simple block can be so wonderful.
