Love and Peace for Ukraine QAL - FINISHING

May 19, 2022
 

Hello Quilters!

I can't even believe how fast these last few weeks has gone! Wow! This week is the last week of the QAL and we are adding the sashing and borders. And that's a wrap!!

Thanks to everyone who has already made a donation to UNICEF for the QAL. If you haven't done so... you can use this link to make any donation you can! 

 DONATE TO UNICEF

We begin by working on the sashing and borders, Then we will talk about binding and I will also make a label for my first quilt!

After I prepared my label, I pressed the seams under 1/4", appliqued it to my quilt, and then added a little running stitch of pearl cotton around the edges to reinforce it.

GIVEAWAY!

Don't forget, I have two Oliso Mini Project Irons to give away!!! 

I will choose two winners from all the quilt top finishes I see online. I will collect the names and randomly choose two winners.

Here's what you need to do:

  • Finish your quilt top.
  • Take a photo
  • Share on Instagram (tag me) or on Facebook (or both!)
  • If you aren't on social media you can send me an email at rebeccamaedesigns(at)gmail(dot)com

I will choose the winners June 1st, so you have a week and a half to get the top together! The winners will be contacted through social media or email by the end of that same week and posted here.

Here is a photo of my top complete! Now to quilt, bind and label!

Xena has taken her supervisor role to a new level... she likes to be up close and personal... making sure I got my label on straight! I sure hope the recipient isn't allergic to cats! 

Thanks so much for joining me!

hugs,

Sherri
