Giving Back

Every so often a couple of friends and I get together to make quilts for people who, hopefully, will find some comfort in the receipt of them.  And, of course, we receive so much joy and pleasure knowing that they will lift someone's spirits in a difficult situation.  This is our most recent one.
The interesting thing about it is how it came to be.
Two of us went to an quilt exhibition a while back put on by the Shady Ladies--a group of quilters in the Asheville area.   They also had a boutique with many different things for sale.  I happened to buy a bag of blocks--maybe orphan blocks--that were made of hand-dyed fabrics.  Ultimately, I took all of them apart and we reconfigured them into this quilt--with added sashings and borders.   And we were happy with the result.  I quilted it and soon it will be on its way to someone who needs it.  And,  of course, we've already begun our next one!
