I did take time, over the summer, to make a couple quilts to donate. One of the gals in my quilt group inspired us all to swap 5" X 5" squares of fabric and make quilts with the variety. As it turned out, I had a couple of charm packs that my dear friend, Teresa, had given me. I swapped some of those and used the rest in one of the two quilts I made with five-inch squares. In August I went to my long-arm quilter's house. She just happens to have an antique manure spreader in her rear driveway. She helped me get it on there for a photo. It turned out pretty good.
Driving back from farm country, I spotted this corrugated make-shift gate, next to a barn, that was next to the road. I pulled over and pinned up my quilt and shot it, and I was away again in two shakes of a lamb's tail. But then I decided I liked the one my husband took of it in my quilt room. This is the other donation quilt. I put a bold floral on the right border, just because I like being wildly eclectic. I think someone will love this quilt. Both donation quilts are the same size. You can click on the photo, and it will enlarge, so you can see the details better.
