Kid Row

It's a finish!
Kumbaya
Quilted with swirls of blue-gray on my DSM.
I used different grays for backgrounds. I think when I made this I had a pile of blue and gray scraps to use. So I used them.
Someone gave me this piece of fabric that I thought would be perfect for the back of this one. This quilt is 45 wide so I had no room to spare for width. I went all the way into the selvages with not a scrap to spare. Before I started quilting I sewed through all three layers on both sides of the quilt just to be sure I knew my boundaries when I started quilting.
And sew on...

A little quilting marathon has been going on here. Soon I will have boxes of comfort quilts for two of my favorite charities that provide quilts for kids - Wrap-A-Smile (WAS) and Quilts Beyond Borders. (QBB).
Wrap-A-Smile (WAS) partners with Rotaplast International.
Rotaplast International, Inc. is committed to helping children and families worldwide by eliminating the burden of cleft lip and/or palate, burn scarring, and other deformities.
The latest mission was in Luxor, Egypt and if would like to see quilts in action as well as read about the wonderful work done to help children and some adults then you have to read all about it at the Rotaplast website. A few times I have been able to spot one of my quilts with a child. Oh joy!
Quilts Beyond Border (QBB) quilts go to many different initiatives...foster care, refugees, Indian reservations, orphanages...you will just have to go read the QBB blog because I can't remember them all.
And sew on...
I remember when you started this one, Cathy. I think it is one of my favourites.
