Orphan Jethro's Jars

Orphan Jethro's Jars
It's a finish!
41 x 51

This one came to me in pieces. I assembled the top last year when I was working with orphan blocks. I named my orphan block quilts and this one I called Jethro. 

I quilted it with blue lines in the sashings and in the jars I quilted little swirls in different colors of thread that matched the color inside the jars. 


The back is a solid blue with different colors of swirls.

The theme this month in my sewing space is March Madness (Quilting) Marathon.  I'm going to concentrate on finishing up a lot of the small tops I have in the TBQ (to be quilted) pile.  They will then be donated to:





And sew on...

CELEBRATE! (my word of the year)

Great job, Cathy! I love that you used different colours for the jars. It colours the back so nicely. Enjoy! ;^)

The Jehtro quilt will really bring joy to someone. When I know they are charity quilts, I try to imagine why someone would need a charity quilt and I always imagine they have had some type of sadness in their life, so I can really see this one bringing comfort. Your flowers are beautiful. I don't remember if you are growing vegetables this year.
