As you know, a few weeks back I was encouraging you all to do whatever you can to give Alison a wee hand with her Soy Amado quilt project. To prove that I'm prepared to do the very thing I was encouraging you all to do, I decided to take my pile of Bee blocks and turn them into a finished quilt for a child from the kids' home in Mexico City.
My second set of hipBees blocks are bright, fun and fresh and hopefully now they'll show a little bit of thoughtfulness from me and the bees and keep a child warm at night.
I'm pleased with the backing too, and all our Bee siggies are on there as a reminder of everyone who contributed to the quilt. My thanks to my hipBee friends for their lovely blocks and for being supportive of my decision to donate this quilt to the Soy Amado project.
Now I just need to get it to the Post Office!
Oh, and I do believe it constitutes another FAL finish too!
Beautiful quilt and a great cause. So lovely of you to donate your bee quilt.

Great idea to donate this bright happy quilt to some little person in need x
ReplyDeleteFabulous and thank you very much - you have no idea how nice it is to see whole quilts being donated as it's quite slow going for me churning out the assembled QAYG blocks into quilts so this is a lovely boost. Thank you again.
ReplyDeleteFantastic, Sarah! Beautiful quilt for a great cause!
