I’ve had this one done for quite a bit. It’s made with help from my charity group Emerge Circle of do. Good Stitches. I had intended for the quilt to go to tornado victims affected this year in Beauregard, AL. I believe though, unless something changes, it will end up going somewhere else. I haven’t heard back on where to send it to. If you know of a cause in need, let me know and I may reroute it. It’s not fair to my group for me to be hanging on to this one and I need to get it out into the hands of someone in need.
It’s all jewels and happiness though, let’s get a deeper look, shall we?
Patchwork + Quilt (a class for learning to quilt)
Since this is a charity group, when I choose blocks when I’m lead, I like to keep things simple. I told the circle that they could choose and send whatever block they wanted as long as it was 12.5″ unfinished and was in jewel toned colors. I was pleasantly surprised at the mass effort. Some of these blocks were crazy difficult. All the blocks were made by the members, I didn’t contribute the blocks, I only finished the quilt.
It’s so much fun receiving the blocks in the mail, like happiness in an envelope.

I was absolutely smitten with the backing and binding choices I made. I used Regal in Cornered for the back, along with a few other scrap fabrics I had and Greeka in Fouxia for the binding.
