A Kitchen Sink Spectacular

Another one of the flimsies prepared by Betty for last year's Quilts for Survivors shipment was this spectacular Kitchen Sink. I just love it.

She pulled together a vast bundle of orphan blocks that she's been collecting - some of them hers, many from friends - and came up with this beauty.






I know that some of them have been waiting patiently for some time because this blue and white block is from an Irish Chain that I finished in 2012

She's done such a wonderful job of pulling everything together.

There were a few blocks made to fit and others reworked; points were optional 😉. 

So much eye candy!





She had  more of the green and purple check that she used in Birdsong to build in a narrow border to sit between the pieced blocks and a wider mauve border.

And, as usual, she prepared a backing - the yellow gingham - and a great purple binding to complete everything. Such vision, such a labour of love....M

I see many orphan blocks that I gave Betty that go way back. A few are from quilts I made for my nieces Erika and Laura about 20 years ago! I’m glad to know that Betty got this one together and sent off to QFS.
