Here's the Front that goes with the backing that I posted about last time.
It was constructed from a baggy of left over scraps and a couple of Charm packs that coordinated nicely.
I finished the Top just about 2 years ago right on the cusp of the Pandemic.
The quilt measures 53" x 68" the size requested by Hospice for their Camp Erin Campers. Camp Erin is a wonderful Therapy-Camp program for kids who are living in a family where cancer has effected someone in their family.
When the Campers are introduced to their Cabins they are invited to pick out a quilt from the Camp stash of quilts and use it while at camp and then take it home. It has always seemed to me a very special way to give away quilts so I always try to make at least a few quilts for Camp Erin every year.
This quilt was really fun to make because of the row by row structure. I just matched up all the various scraps of a certain height and sewed them into a rows. easy peasy! There was a little filling in here and there but with my crazy stash it was no problem finding fabric to fill in! teehee
And always room for little bits of fun, Like triangles marching across a narrow row and these owls peaking out from their triangles!
Oh, the things we do to amuse ourselves....
The Pandemic is mostly what delayed the finish of this quilt. Camp Erin was cancelled in 2020 and 2021.
Fingers crossed there will be Summer camp for All kids this Summer!
Happy Spring!
take care, cw
Another cool scrap quilt, perfect for Camp,Erin!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun quilt--very cheerful.
ReplyDeleteYour row by row quilt is so fun and I looked back at your previous post to see the backing. What a worthy cause - I can't think of a better reason to make and give away a quilt!
