First Group Sew Day!

Our group had a very fun and productive FIRST Group Sew Day at the Morgantown Public Library on Monday, January 14 from 10-2. Our task was to put the finishing touches on a quilt top for the Austin Children's Shelter in return for Austin hosting QUILTCON this year. We had a lovely time and got the top 95% complete. I put the top and bottom borders on at home because we needed some trimming. Linda, Amanda and terry were in charge of the planning, calculating and cutting while Mavis and Jeanie did the brunt of the sewing. Here is what we ended with...

After I got home a day later I got the borders finished and here is the final top.

We pieced the borders and sashing improvisationally because I had 60 inch strips that needed to reach 68! We loved the outcome more than we could have imagined.
