As I have previously mentioned, I have joined in with Betty’s merry band making blocks for group donation quilts each month.
For the first half of this year the brief was slightly different, in that each month we were to make a strip in a colour of the rainbow.
Here are mine.
Once all the coloured strips were completed and returned to Betty, she mixed them up and sent strip sets out to each of us to make into a quilt top. Some were very creative and clever.
I finally got around to joining the strips I received into this flimsy. Not very creative, but I think it is rather striking.
Instead of returning the quilt top to Betty for the girls down there to finish off, I have quilted and bound it here.
I just used a gold thread for the quilting and a bright blue wideback for the backing and binding.
With Betty’s blessing, it will be donated to a local charity in Bathurst.

Your simple setting is a great idea - sometimes that's all that is needed. It's a fun happy quilt!
It’s a great finish Janice. Well done
The black makes those colours pop out. A great finish.
Fantastic finish on a wonderful quilt Janice. Well done.
looks amazing! what a generous donation quilt.
love the bright colours with their black framing, very effective.
What a fun way to make a quilt - and a great result. x

Thanks Janice. The quilt looks great and I'm sure someone in Bathurst will love it. I'll be sending another set up with Jo when she comes through then that will be the last of our batch of strips. We have a few more here to put together.
A lovely donation quilt. I hope the recipient treasures it.
it is striking indeed and what a fun way to use up scraps
