A church friend of mine volunteers to help give my quilts away for me. I bring in a bag a finished quilts and she helps find people that might like them. I love finishing quilts and moving them out of the house; the help is very much appreciated!
A few weeks ago this friend asked if I had any Christmas quilts to give away. She wanted one for her guest bed for when her granddaughter came to visit. Well, I didn't have any but I did have a huge stack of Color Blocks. I quickly pieced a quilt, quilted it up, and gifted it to her yesterday just in time for her granddaughter to sleep under it last night! After over 18 months of being sick and feeling useless, it's a wonderful feeling to know that someone wants a quilt from me. I love feeling useful and helpful once again. I thanked her for the opportunity and she was confused thinking that I did a favor for her. If you're a quilter, you know that she actually did the favor for me.
I love to stitch continuous curve in Color Blocks; it's relaxing to me and it looked great on this quilt.
