Our local guild, The Cabin Country Quilters, has been donating a raffle quilt to a local cancer charity event called The Luncheon of Hope for many years now. The quilts donated are a well received by the event and a lot of effort is put into selling tickets. It is nice to see quilts appreciated and money raised for a wonderful charity group.
This year the guild members decided on Moda's Stitched Pink quilt which was a free project that was released a block a day back in October 2020 to increase awareness of Breast Cancer. We cut block kits and members took a block or two home to stitch. Last Wednesday a small group was able to meet and sew the quilt top together. I took it home to quilt and it just needs the binding. I'm happy to past that job along to another guild member.
You can find the block patterns at this link to Moda's Stitched Pink archive.
We asked Quilt Junction if they would kit this up for us using an assortment of Pink Moda Grunges which was suggested in the pattern. They did a fabulous job!
I quilted it with white So Fine thread and used Quilters Dream Blend batting. The pantograph is called Windswept and has the look of flowing ribbons.
The backing is a pink batik with the breast cancer ribbon image.
Well done! I do think it came out beautifully in those grunge fabrics. There's extra depth in the colors. Hope it went for lots of money!
ReplyDeletePretty In Pink!! It must be, being that I am drawn to it and I am normally a not-pink person. Did a double take when I saw Quilt Junction kitted it for you, at first thinking, ah, there's another QJ in the north too. But sooooon discovered yes, it really was Lana. She's a treasure and I only wish I lived closer to her shop.
