TST #18 - More donated scraps

As I mentioned last Tuesday, here are some more of the quilts that helped use up my scraps and were donated to local organizations.

“Jacob’s Ladder” – I had collected 1.5 inch squares in an online exchange. I had no idea at the time what I was going to use them for, but I figured it was a great way to increase the stash.  After several months of collecting I had amassed quite a number.  They sat for a long time and soon became just a heap of "scraps".  It soon came time to deal with them.  After taking several days to sort them by colour, I sewed them into what I thought was a pleasing colour arrangement. I still had lots of little green squares left when I was done. This little quilt also went to the local hospital's neonatal ward.

"Pinwheels Aplenty" – Remember the CIS Mystery Quilt that I posted about here.   The pinwheels are made from the leftovers of the “CIS Mystery Quilt”.  This was a bit of a challenge.  After using all the HST to make the pinwheels, I had sufficient number of them to make a lap quilt, but I didn't want to put them into a straightforward grid.  I ended up offsetting two rows which I thought looked pretty good.  This quilt was donated to senior's care lodge so it could be distributed to a resident.  I was very suprised when I received a thank you note from the recipient, because the label did not have my address but rather the address of my Guild.
