This year at Christmas my church is collecting gifts for the Salvation Army. One of the requested items was blankets, so I decided that I would make a quick and easy quilt. Here is a picture of the finished top. It is made completely from my stash. I liked the idea of using 6 inch (finished) orphan blocks mixed in with print fabric squares. I didn't have any orphan blocks that matched the color scheme I was going with, so I made a few simple blocks to jazz it up a little bit. The top is 42-1/2 x 54-1/2 inches.
I plan to machine quilt it myself on my home sewing machine using diagonal line edge to edge quilting. That way there won't be any threads to bury, unless I run out of bobbin mid-seam! I'm also planning to machine stitch the binding, which I don't usually do, but there is limited time to get it finished, so I figure that's the safest option at this point.
