It's a finish!
Orphan Zeke
40 x 60
I made the top last December from orphan blocks and pieces and parts that came from several different people.
I quilted it on my sewing machine with swirls.
The backing and binding.
Now it is ready for donation to Wrap-A-Smile. There has recently been an urgent call for quilts because there are more upcoming Rotaplast missions than prevously anticipated. That's a good thing.
"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. Working with local professionals, Rotarians, and other organizations, Rotaplast sends multidisciplinary medical teams to provide free reconstructive surgery, ancillary treatment, and training for the comprehensive care of these children." Wrap-A-Smile provides each child undergoing surgery with a quilt.
I have donated quilts to Wrap-A-Smile since 2013 (I think) and every once in awhile it is fun to spot a quilt I made with a child. I just added a page at the top of my blog with pics of kids around the world with a quilt I've made.
If you are interested in donating quilts to Wrap-A-Smile (WAS) please read the WAS Guidelines and WAS Shipping Info. Or you can email me and I'll be happy to answer your questions.
And sew on...

ZEKE is sooooo much fun! Congrats!
I didn't know about Rotaplast International. What a great cause. Zeke will be happy there I'm sure. Bravo, Cathy! ;^)
Lovely orphan quilt, Cathy. Beautiful present for someone to cozy up with...hugs, Julierose
Great creation, doesnt look like any orphans as everything belongs there.
I really like how Zeke turned out and I love that you have a place to send these quilts. I would imagine that it is really tough to have those medical problems.
Great use of those orphan blocks, Cathy!
