Another Finish!

This is my latest charity quilt -- the blocks are made using a pattern from a tutorial at Oh, Fransson!. I wanted to make my quilt big enough for a teenager, so I added more and laid them out differently. My one piece of advice for those who use the tutorial to make the nine-patch blocks is to definitely have a sharp blade in your rotary cutter.

As I blogged about in this post here, my mission this year is to make quilts for teenagers because they often get forgotten when we quilters make quilts for charity (teenagers get sick, too!).

One of the things that I'm most proud of with this quilt is that the backing (which screams teenage girl to me) comes from a sheet that I found at my local Goodwill store for $3. (hint to the quilt police -- don't even think about commenting...). The sheet was in great shape with no stains or fading, so I took gladly paid the $3, took it home, washed it in hot soapy water and voila...a perfect backing that didn't need to be pieced.

Here is a closeup of the double-loop meander quilting that I did on my HQ16. It went very quickly.

Now on to the next charity teenage quilt...this time for a boy.
