Finishing up! Some Small Quilts


Some great finishes today. 

They are even bound and labeled.  

These are three wheelchair quilts. 

Each 36" x 45" quilt has a back pocket

and a small holiday stitchery piece since they 

will be  given at Christmas time. 


This one has a matching binding.




I used a black binding on this one. 








There was enough of the yellow left to 

bind with yellow too. 




These were so much fun to do and only 

a small stack left to layer and quilt?!

The puzzle feeling of piecing together

orphan blocks and odd block 

pieces seems to be contagious 

as 2 more sewing friends are 

working on these small, useful quilts too!

Stay safe and sew on!

  5. Oh, how wonderful! So, you take orphan blocks, create a wheelchair lap quilt, then apply a zippered pocket to the back and insert a little Christmas-themed mini? What a wonderful gift idea! Thanks for sharing this on TGIFF today, I'm inspired! Love that scrappy striped quilt.

    1. I applique the little holiday stitchery on the back for a personal surprise. Then they are still useful all year and not too seasonal. It was a great way to use up some of my orphans. I still have a lot of block bits and smaller and some much larger blocks too!

    1. Quilt size is 36” x 45” with an centered pocket with flap or zipper on the back about 6 x 8” square and about 10” from the top to hold keys, tissues, etc. Thank you and they are fun to make.

    1. They are going to 6 local long term care facilities for those who gets only receive staff purchased socks at Christmas. They will certainly brighten up some lunch rooms!
