I am happy to say that I finished a quilt this week! But I can't take all the credit for this quilt. It really was a group effort that I came in on at the end.
The quilt top was pieced by quilt guild members at bee day, using scraps cut 3" x 5.5". It was then pin basted by guild member Lindsay, and passed on to me for machine quilting and binding.
There was a complex quilting design drawn on with a frixion pen, but I just ignored that and did some simple straight diagonal lines.
When the quilting was done, I ironed the quilt and the marks came right off.
The binding was started on Sunday and I finished it last night.
This quilt will be donated to the community outreach project in the hopes that it will brighten up someone's life, and provide them with a little comfort and warmth.
Happy Friday everyone!

Great finish. The diagonal grid was a great quilting choice.
It's fun when everyone can pitch in and do their little bit and before you know it, a finished quilt. This one is bright and cheery and will make someone's day - good on you all.
Oh how lovely--someone will be thrilled--love those blues and yellows--very spring-ey hugs,

I think blue and yellow just says happy and sunshine. Good finish!! Kathy check out my blog today for the fun stuff I got this week!!
What a wonderful group effort. The quilting on it is perfect.
I like your quilting pattern. I think when you sew across the blocks it adds a lot of interest to a simple block or design. Took me a minute to see that you sewed corner to corner of two blocks.
Such a wonderful quilt for a great cause. The colors are awesome!
Great quilt. So many pretty prints I love blue and yellow together. I'm sure someone will love it.
A great quilt for a great cause - does the heart good :)
Perfect!
Blue and yellow will certainly cheer up someone . . . Lovely!
It's a great little bright quilt. Thanks for doing this Kathy.
