1st Slab Top Done


I got one of the slab quilt tops done. I am making slab quilts to donate to Canada's Big Quilt Bee. You can find the slab block pattern Here by Cherly Arkison. 


I had a helper today to take photos. I thought a quilt hug was a good photo. It was kind of cold out today with a bite of wind. 


Over the deck rail


My model is hiding. This quit has 24 12" blocks. So the quilt measures 48" by 72", I think it is the larger size they were looking for. 


This is a cute bush to drape the quilt on. 


Each block is to have at least on fabric that is Canadian. I used the nice white with red maple leaves. 

So happy to have a top done. 

I have added this post to Crazy Mom Quilts

  2. This is beautiful, Cathy! I love how you used your Canada maple leaf fabric in the center of each slab. And of course, who can resist a rainbow? :) Great job for a worthy project.

  3. Did you know that Kat has a linkup for charity quilts? You should add this lovely finish to her list!

  4. Love your rainbow quilt! If it needs to be any wider a simpler border would do the trick. :-)
