Hands2Help Charity Quilt Challenge



I got it done! The Hands2Help quilt challenge ended today and I got mine completed.





In this challenge we swapped 2 yards total fabric with a partner then produced a quilt aprox 60" square filling in the gaps with our fabric, using your stash was encouraged.




This picture were taken yesterday in the hot mid-day Texas sun and washed all the color out.... kinda like it saps all my energy, so I got up and took new ones at 6am, hoping the sprinklers would not start.







I was sent 8 FQ of fabric from the Lizzy line by Anna Griffin. I added the background which is an older Moda print that picks up the yellow and blue kona solids that I also added, as well as the solid blue binding.







I quilted with a loopy FMQ using a very pale pink that I had handy.



My trading partner was Sue and she did a fabulous job with the fabric I sent making a quilt she named Urban Cabin that is gorgeous !

You can see the other quilts that are headed to Romania at Sarah's linky party.

    Your quilt is beautiful! Love the loopy quilting. That's the way I like to quilt.
    I am with you on the Texas heat. I guess that's what air conditioning is for.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving your encouragement!
