A Quilt for Charity

Every year, the Montreal MQG chooses a charity and some of our members participate in the making of quilts for our charity. We participated in the MQG Charity Challenge this year of course and our quilt was hanging at QuiltCon West 2016 which was a huge thrill.

Our president, Stephanie, of the Queen of Wands Studio blog, managed to get some free fabric from Camelot Fabrics so I volunteered to make a quilt for our charity.


I made a bunch of off-centre square in a square blocks and added white sashing to only two of the sides of each block. I chose a random layout and sewed the blocks into a top. It went together super quickly!

I quilted it with my walking foot - nice soft wavy vertical lines. The quilt is nice and soft!


I used a gorgeous orange print for the back and made it big enough by adding a band a scraps.


The finished quilt is about 48" x 72"... Perfect for snuggling under on the couch!

  3. Très réussi. Parfois on n'a juste pas besoin de se casser la tête. Le piquage ajoute un effet "distorsion" amusant.
