A weekend of quilting for Ukraine

A few weeks ago I quilted four quilts, made by a friend/customer, that are going to the Ukraine cause, to provide comfort and show our support.  It gives me comfort, knowing that I am helping to give someone else in need comfort.

Judy made this first one in two shades of blue for the half square triangles with scrappy four patches, assembled in a straight furrow layout.


This second quilt is beautiful and bright with a under the sea fabric scene set off with solids using hour glass units.  I forgot to get the backing of this one, but it was a quilt in itself with large rectangles of under the sea fabric separated by a lime green solid.


The third quilt is a unique pattern, not sure of the name.  It is using 2 1/2" scrappy square sewn together into larger rectangles and separated with a white on white fabric, making what appears to be a chain.


This fourth quilt is a simple alternating 2 1/2" squares in a rainbow of colours, alternating with a white fabric.  All the colourful squares have white pins on them.


I am sure that whoever receives any of these quilts will be comforted by the thought that here in Canada we are thinking of them and the trauma that they are going through.
