Creating a Quilted Legacy Day Two

This is day two of the hop to pay tribute to PaulaB, she would have been thrilled by the great response, and all the wonderful quilts which will be donated in her honour.

I hope you have been enjoying it. I loved all the visiting yesterday  and seeing the quilts everyone has been making for various charities. I realise they won't be delivered just yet, at least we can't in the UK, but as soon as the restrictions are lifted there will be a plethora of quilts ready to be delivered. I have a feeling that they will be needed more than ever, sadly.

There are many, many quilters like Paula, who make numerous quilts for charity. Some are taking part in this hop, but some don't blog, so you won't know about most of them. Their contribution is invaluable, and deserves recognition.

Today I am featuring quilts by three quilters who make charity quilts but do not blog. I'm very happy that they wanted to join in anyway, which is wonderful.

Remember to read right to the end of the post to discover who else is participating today, and find out all about the prizes on offer and how to enter.

I will feature the quilters and their quilts in the order they were received, and first up is Marianne from Lakewood Ranch, Florida.

Marianne has used a multitude of scraps for this colourful quilt, there are some lovely fabrics there, I especially like the fussy cut kitty.  It is quilted either side of the seam lines in both directions which works great with the design. A lovely dark fabric with splashes of colour like confetti  is used for the binding, which frames it beautifully. Mariannes quilt will be donated to Jack's Basket.

The second quilter featured is Rebecca from La Crosse, WI. Rebecca just loves making quilts for those in need, and plans to make more this year.  Rebecca makes quilts for Project Linus, Quilts of Valour, Covered in Love, and 4Patches4Hope as well as others.

This was made for Mercyful Quilts in CA as part of the Hands2Help Project. It's a large lap size (almost a twin) 'Single Slice' quilt made from a collection from Bluprint for the hospice program, I must say I do like the quilting. Rebecca hopes it brings comfort to someone who needs it, to let them know there are people who care. Isn't that a lovely sentiment?

Rebecca also made this lovely bright quilt for a local charity auction which she participates in every year.

The third participating quilter is Margaret who used to blog as Maggie Stitcher and lives in the UK.  Margaret is another quilter who spends most of her time stitching for various charities. I 'met' Margaret through Paula, who had a good friendship with Margaret and often spoke fondly of her.

This is a small 36 inch quilt made from a Moda charm pack, which Margaret made for a local charity fundraiser. The border sets it off beautifully, and the salmon pink first border fabric is used for the binding. Nice quilting Margaret, I think I could manage that design, think being the operative word!  Margaret also makes quilts for care leavers and several other charities, and has recently been making scrub bags for the local hospital.  Margaret doesn't stop there, she also makes cat mats.

These have been made for the local cat rescue centre. Margaret tells me she has quite a few more made up, but she has run out of wadding, so they won't be finished until after lockdown.

Thank you so much for participating Marianne, Rebecca, and Margaret, and do pop back, I'm sure there will be lots of very complimentary comments on your wonderful quilts.
