How about a Hallelujah? Yippee? Whoop Whoop?
Or maybe you are saying, "It's about time"...
I have finally finished my Hands2Help Quilt for Charity.
It seems like I have been working on this project forever!
I actually started it April 29th.
Usually, when I start a project, I just work on it non-stop until it's finished.
With this project, once the piecing was completed, I only worked on it in the evenings,
so I was able to complete several other projects during the day.
I decided to learn to hand quilt with this project, so I spent many hours sitting in front of the TV rocking my needle back and forth through the quilt sandwich.
I am pretty happy with the way it turned out.
I used a raw edge binding that I saw in Camille Roskelley's book, simplify. I thought it went with the more organic look of the raggy flowers I did to decorate the simple quilt made of 8" squares, and it was a quick and easy way to finish this project.
So here are some finished photos.
I am sure some little person at the orphanage in Romania will love having this quilt to keep them warm and cozy.
The finished quilt measures 60" X 60"
Fabrics are Fig Tree plus a few from my stash
Backing is Summertime by Henry Glass Fabrics

Amen sista! This has got to be one of my favorites....it looks soooooo cuddly.

Someone will be thrilled to get that quilt, Diane, and very lucky!
I can`t possibly be cheeky enough to give you an `amen` as my quilts are sloooooooow quilts but I will give you a big WOO HOO as it`s fabulous as we all knew it would be. What a beautiful thing to do and as my beautiful boy came from an orphanage I know how much these things are appreciated. Have a great day!
I do believe a Hallelujah is in order! I love this! I've been dreaming of shades of orange for some time now. Love the raw edges on the flowers and that binding. Lucky little girl will treasure this for sure!

Sew cute! I've never done raw edge binding before. It looks great with the flowers. Some little girl is going to be very happy. Isn't hand quilting fun?!? I do the stab stitch, poke pull method and listen to audio books while I quilt. This method is much easier on the hands and wrists.
just BEAUTIFUL!
Woo HOO! Very happy looking quilt - I'm sure it will, infact make someone VERY happy :) Love simple patchwork, and those flowers are cool.
