#QuiltsforQc Finish

You might have heard about the #quiltsforqc initiative the Montreal MQG launched on January 30 after the horrible shooting at a mosque in Quebec City.  The response we received from quilters the world over has been amazing, humbling and a little overwhelming.  :-)  You can read updates on the Montreal MQG's blog here.

I did make a couple of blocks to contribute to the cause, but I also decided to finish a few quilts. Today, I would like to share my first #quiltsforqc finished quilt.

I just love those house blocks - I love how different they all are... some pretty modern and some more traditional.  The variety of fabrics and patterns used just makes each house so unique.  I had such a good time piecing the blocks together and then quilting and finishing it.

Some of the houses have cute little details such as this fun window:

And this fun tree:

I decided to keep the quilting simple and fast so went with my wavy horizontal lines.  I really do love using this quilting design for a fast finish.

The Montreal MQG's April sew-in is this Saturday and we're having a basting party!  So I'm pretty sure I'll be taking more quilt sandwiches home with me to finish.

Quilt Stats:

• Pattern:  House blocks by various designers
