And now that the political event of our lifetime is over, time to get back to chatting about making quilts!
I was contacted about making a quilt for a silent auction that raises funds for the Avon walk. The woman who contact me donated a bunch of 5″ squares (the pink ribbons fabric) so I used that fabric as a jumping off point. I have been loving the simple squares, and since the 5″ squares were already cut, I though, why not another??
I’m almost done with the top – it will be a lap quilt in the end:
And I’ve pulled fabrics for the next. I’m going to try to stretch the color scheme I am usually drawn to but I still can’t stay away from orange!
I love the fabrics you found for the Avon walk quilt!
you have such a nice fabric stash! I love seeing people’s fabric stashes. I hurried and ordered a whole bunch of katie jump rope last night after reading on your blog they were discontinuing it, it will always be my favorite I think. I love the 5″squares too, did you know Moda is coming out soon with charm packs that are pre-cut triangles? Soon no one will have to “cut” anything! I love your auction quilt, and who doesn’t love Orange?
I love pink and brown combo and I am looking forward o the next one.
the charity quilt looks good!
what “pattern” are you using for the other fabrics that you’ve chosen?
The pink and brown combo is yummy… I bet it will get lots of bids!
Love that orangey bundle of fabric.
ALISSA…..you have really outdone yourself!! The quilt is going to look fantastic and I can’t wait to display it at the auction!!! It’s going to be a HIT!!! Thank you so much again for doing this! You are an Angel! I mean that!
LOL….I’m always drawn to orange, yellow and pink.
This charity quilt is really pretty. What a great contribution. I love the group of fabrics you are putting together for the next project – they all go so well with the oranges.
That’s a nice looking quilt you have there. As always, your quilts are inspiring.
