Left-overs

As the old saying goes, "if life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Here's a photo of a baby quilt I made a while ago. I had some left-over four patches from a quilt I made back in 2005. They were left over because I substituted some appliqued patches in that four-patch quilt. So what I did with these blocks is to combine them with some squares of kid fabric and make a baby quilt. The patches are about 7 1/2 inches square and the quilt itself is about 45 inches square. Now what happened to this quilt is that I finished it, put it away on the closet shelf and forgot about it. My life was very busy back in 2005. However, I have now taken it out and I plan to donate it to charity the first chance that I get--hopefully next week! Meanwhile, I have managed to get the string quilt free-motion quilted and I'm sewing the binding on, as shown in the bottom photo.
Meanwhile "back at the ranch" as they used to say in those old Roy Rogers movies, the quilt which I donated for Alzheimer's Disease Research has gone on sale on their web site. It's number 6290. I have a logo of this charity web site on here, see below.
