Welcome September - it's one of the nicest months of the year, IMHO.
I found some Winne the Pooh fabric in my novelty stash and made a pile of snowball blocks. By the time that pile was finished, the mood had left me for sewing any more blocks. Then I had a lightbulb moment and remembered a container of blocks that I had made when I was doing mindless sewing. There were enough nine patch blocks, when combined with the Pooh blocks to make a little quilt for the Underground Rail Road in Saginaw. The UGRR is a shelter for battered women and children and my guild sends child-themed quilts to them each month. I wonder if this quilt would loosely qualify as an orphan quilt? Finn? There is more Pooh fabric for a small border and then I'll see what other things I can find to keep me busy and productive. Jim is off to a flea market, so I can sew all day.

Added borders...ready to finish.
That is a really cute quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great - even better that you used up those nine-patch blocks that needed a good home :O)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Those two batches of blocks were just made for each other!!
ReplyDeleteA child is going to be very happy to receive this. Sure do love Pooh*s*
ReplyDeleteHow cute ! 9 patches and snowballs go so well together !
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cute quilt. It was fun to see it take form in all the different stages. Each stage made it more wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling quilt, I just love it! Winnie the Pooh is one of my favourite characters, so it was always going to be a hit with me!

This quilt will be well loved by someone...it looks great. How long do blocks have to be in hiding for them to become orphans?! If you forget about them for more than a month then I think they qualify...of course that would mean I am running quite and overcrowded orphanage here!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable quilt and for such a worthy cause.
ReplyDeleteEveryone loves Pooh Bear so someone will be very happy to receive this quilt.
What a cute little quilt! Way to use up those already made 9 Patch blocks!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure some little guy or gal will love it :)
I like that phrase "mindless sewing" and am so glad that your "mindless" makes much better results than mine does! Whoever gets this happy quilt will surely treasure it!
ReplyDeleteI love it!! Winnie is my all time favorite, its just so cute!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful children's quilt! Great use of stash and UFO blocks!
ReplyDeleteAnd I can tell you (from my paid job experience) that it will be well loved and very much appreciated by the family who receives it!
You are such an inspiration Jeanne!
Oh, I just LOVE this cute Winnie the Pooh quilt ! It's great, Genie ! Fortunately, my grandson is still too small to see it, he would immediately beg for one too - smiles -
