The beginning of this week found me with a stack of four quilt tops waiting for quilting.
One of the quilt took me three days (can’t wait to show you, I still have to wash it) and the next one three hours!
I just needed an “easy” quilt to quilt! I love to quilt but I am really tired of challenges! So this project came just in time!
Alison of “Little Island Quilting” is making quilts for street children in Mexico City. And this is my little contribution.
This was a quilt top I made long time ago; I loved each fabric I used for this top but the final color combination did not speak to me and I did not have any desire to finish it. Now I decided that it is the time to give it a chance!
I used a fluffy polyester batting. Of course, it is not as easy to work with it as it is with cotton batting. The quilt doesn’t have that “crinkly” look given by a cotton batting, but the quilt is lightweight and warm -making it perfect as an utilitarian quilt.
The quilt measures only 53” x 78” – it’s so easy to quilt this size!
If you want to help too, read more about this on Alison’s blog. If you can’t make a quilt, Alison is collecting quilted blocks and she assembles them in quilts. Maybe you have some orphan blocks and don’t know what to do with them?
Have a great weekend.

I like everything about this quilt!!! colour, pattern and the quilting are wonderful
Geta, I've made quilts that don't speak to me, too, but this one really is beautiful and you did a great job with the quilting on it.
Geta es maravilloso este quilt y el acolchado me parece genial. Un beso
The colours in ths are gorgeous. How nice of you to donate that to the children.
Wow! Ce quilt superb. Imi plac mult culorile chiar anume gamma asta de culori imi plac cel mult si oranjul cu bottle green si galbenul cu lime, ah ce combinatie reusita si patternul e tare deosebit!
Quiltingul e jos palaria! Eu la un quilt micut pentru feciorul meu, am obosit sa fac quilting – niste uzoare foarte simple patrate, si m-a durut spatele cateva zile dupa asta, ha ha ha ca tare incordat am stat asupra masinii de cusut cateva ore 😀
Bravo tie ai un suflet foarte bland!
I love it – and I am sure a child will really love it too.
This is a stunning quilt. yes, the colours do work for me and would instantly fit in my house. Good choice of a simple quilting style, it allows the design and colours to sing. Good thing that we don't all go for the same colours and styles, quilting would be such a narrow world then.
What a beautiful quilt for a child in need. You made it so beautifully! What a gift you have to share….

Just perfect! Both the quilt and the quilting. I'm sure it will be well loved.
