Applique 'n Patch Quilting

This morning, I received an email from Kathy (my LAer) and she sent a photo of something she found in this magazine:

Recently, my friend Darlene and I each donated a couple quilts to a health organization for a silent auction.

For me, this was a test run to see if they would sell and be wanted.  Not everyone is into quilts .... I know, I know .....

Anyway, they all sold and for the highest bidding prices!  Woohoo!

These were the quilts that I donated.

In my quest to move along some old UFO's, this project was pulled out and worked on.  Lots of applique to help keep me busy for a few nights.  Look at my beautiful Shweshwe fabric.  Love it and I have a bin full of this fabric in this colour.  I just drool every time the bin gets opened!  LOL

Finally, finally, this quilt is finished!

I brought it to show at night guild and two lovely ladies held it up for all to see while I sat in my chair and talked about it.

The process of sewing all those flying geese blocks into strips is a tad tedious and boring, but they are getting done.  Only 6 more rows to go ...

I sew batches of 10 blocks from each colour and then join into a long strip.  It is slow going as there is a lot of pinning going on.
