A Quilt Top Was Made.

Over the last weekend some of the members of our P and Q group spent 2 days sewing charity quilts. Some of the fabric was donated. My namesake and I decided to work together on a simple design for a quilt to later donate to Women's Refuge.
 We used a table in the back room to lay it out as we went so we could see the pattern emerging.
By the time we packed up on Sunday all the rows bar one were sewn together. One needed a little unpicking .
 The other A took it home and spent 1 more hour perfecting it and tidying the back.
 On Friday we will baste and back it and decide how we want to quilt it.
 It ended up 19 rows by 15 blocks  ( 4" blocks )  or 60 inches by 76 inches.
 We decided against a border and will use a dark blue binding.
 The other A took this photo on a bed but I can't get the pic to rotate so you might have to turn your head.
 The colours in the top photo are it's true colours. A pale lemony straw colour.
 Ill show a photo when it is totally finished.
 Some of the other members worked on boy 's quilts featuring appliqué clown blocks.

Wow, it's really nice Ali and will, I'm sure, bring comfort and love to one of those women down on her luck.

Very pretty. And much more achievable by the likes of me than some of your other beautiful projects!
