Siblings Together Quilt WIP

It's not long till I'll be attending the Fat Quarterly Retreat, and I really wanted to take a small quilt with me to donate to the Charity Siblings Together.  

Time is not on my side, but I gave myself 2 hours one morning to stitch up what is to be the central panel of a cot quilt.


The plan is to give it a fairly wide pink border, and I have some hot pink dot backing on order.  I'm also going to attempt to FMQ this one, which will be a first for me on a *real* project!  

I'm then going to use bright orange for the binding, and fingers crossed, hopefully it will be a fun, vibrant and happy quilt that will provide some comfort to a child less fortunate than my own.  It really feels good to be giving something back.

  2. Squares are always a success, maybe it's our love of order? The pink border and orange sounds wonderful. Have great fun with the Free-Motion too, I'm still getting the hang of it but really enjoy it.
