Today was Community Service workday for the Pine Tree Guild. I had cut several quilts, mostly the four patch Freedom. I thought it was time to package them up with a pattern and hand them off to others in the guild to sew. I ended up with 15 kits, 12 of which have already been given out, thanks to one very enthusiastic member. That 8 inch Four Patch works so well for using up stash fabrics--it can be cut from fat quarters or regular quarters. We have so much of that size piece in our stashes and donated fabrics like this. The little quilt only takes 6 pieces, or 12 for the throw size--which can include some duplicates. When I pick for these from a donation stash, I usually go for color, sometimes with a theme or two. Once, cut, they sew up in just an hour or so--very rewarding for everyone involved. Can't wait to see them all back.
