Back in early May, I went on a bit of a fabric shopping spree. After looking around my sewing room, I knew that I needed a re-org. I actually felt kinda bummed when I realized that not only did I need to go on a fabric diet, but I may never in my lifetime finish all my projects and use up that stash.
I contacted Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict and she responded right away saying that they accept in their quilt ministry:
Cotton fabric, yardage or usable scraps, orphan blocks, UFOs, quilt tops, finished quilts - we take just about anything!
So, I packed up a box of jelly rolls, tops, WIPs, and orphan blocks and put it in the mail. Now, look what I saw on her June 20th post:

This was a top that I donated. The pattern is Tilt from Kaffe Fassett's "Simple Shapes, Spectacular Quilts". I had purchased a large fat quarter bundle of Tina Given's Olivia's Holiday and sorted the colors in aqua/green and yellow/pink. I made a quilt with the aquas and am currently quilting it.
The yellow and pink quilt was a little too bright at the time so I sent it on to a new home where I thought it would be used and loved. I think the quilt looks great completed and re-sized! Since the quilt is kind of long and narrow, several rows were removed and used on the back.
If you have any blocks or tops that need a good home and will bring comfort to those who are facing serious challenges, may I suggest that you support the quilters at her quilt ministry referred to as The Sweatshop.
Love that quilt pattern and way to go , Mina!
