Show & Tell: A quilt for a cause

And just like that it's Thursday again!

Last year I was lucky enough to meet Deb and I'm sure you've all heard of her.  No doubt you've also recently read about the Blessing Deb project.  A week or two ago the call was put out to donate items for an auction.

After a lot of um-ing and ah-ing I decided to make up a quilt to contribute.

I dreamt up the design (literally - I woke up with the pictures and numbers in my head at 4am one morning!) and got on with making it over the weekend.

It wasn't without it's challenges - needle failures, backing failures, etc -   but... despite the hiccups, the top came together, my walking foot got a good workout with the straight-line quilting,  binding sewn on, and now it's done!

The details:
Top: Various fabrics from my stash
Middle:  A lovely warm woolen blanket.
Backing:  Pretty soft sheet
Size: 56" x 56" (142 cm x 142cm)

Next week it will be auctioned.  Check out the details on the Facebook page, and if you like it, please bid on it!  I hope it goes to a home that will love it as much as we do : )

What have you been up to? Making lots? Having school holiday fun?
Looking forward to seeing your makings and creatings!
Have a happy day
