It's A Finish! Orphan Gilbert

It's a finish! 

Orphan Gilbert

36 x 45

All of the orphan blocks in this quilt came from several different people...

...except for the little people. I made those last year. I chose to put all of these orphan blocks together because they all have gray backgrounds. I quilted it with swirls of gray thread. 

The back.

Now it is ready for donation!

A few weeks ago the Wrap-A-Smile coordinator ( Ann) sent out a plea for 40-50 "smalls":

"Hope y’all can help! I’m still on the outlook for even more very small, very light-weight children’s quilts for WAS. During the past year I have received an amazing number of gorgeous, beautiful quilts but the majority have been larger and heavier. Rotaplast treats a variety of ages and they need me to pack a mix of sizes. Plus they have weight restrictions on the supply boxes that go by air for the medical missions.

I would love to receive 40-50 “smalls” (36 x 45-ish) by the end of the year. "...Ann
