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.
