Benefit Quilt
 

I haven't posted a picture before, so I hope that these will show up! Actually, my 14 year old daughter did it for me, because I couldn't even begin to figure it out, lol. This is a quilt that I made for my sister's good friend/neighbor's cancer benefit. They found out about a month ago that he has stomach cancer and he is not doing well. This Sat. is a benefit to raise money to help pay for the medical bills, etc. I have only made 2 rag quilts and 2 other quilts before, so I consider myself a beginner. We are going to sell raffle tickets because if a person only pays a dollar or two to try to win the quilt, they might forgive the flaws of a newbie quilter, instead of paying a lot more money in a silent auction. Hopefully, there is a picture of the front, the back, and a close up of the quilting. The pattern is Summer in the Park and it is made almost entirely from material in my stash. I used a blue variegated thread for quilting the blue strips because of the variety of the blues. The backing is minky and very soft! Thanks for looking.

very cute.

This quilt is gorgeous! Both sophisticated and warm. I hope it brings in big $$$ for such a good cause.

pretty shades of blue

Your quilt is beautiful. I think you should be very proud of such an accomplishment. I consider myself a beginner as well. I completed a top for my DGD a few days ago and hung it up in the living room so I could look at it for awhile. I am glad I did because I found two mistakes that I am going to fix. My DS, visiting from South Dakota, saw it and he thought it was nice. I pointed out the flaws and he said "It looks good from my house". I thought it was so funny. My point for you is, it looks good from my house and I am sure it looks great close up too. I hope you make a lot of money and that your friend gets better.

Those are really pretty.

Your quilt is beautiful!!! Where did you find that beautiful minkee backing? I know it will bring a lot of money for your friend.

I love this quilt! Pretty blues! Nice job!

Well done! You did GOOD!!!

I love it. Love the blues and different shades of the blues. Very well done. I hope you make a ton of money.
