I sent out a plea to my friends on Facebook and some of my quilting Facebook groups to help make quilt tops for the surge of refugees arriving in the next few months. I would, of course quilt and bind them for free. I had an overwhelming response. Within the first week I had several offers, plus a dozen or so back to me by the week's end with more promised. I bought a nice big roll of batting and got started on the ones that sent backs with them. For the others I would piece the rest of the backs. However, another friend saw some new sheets at an estate sale and purchased them for backs, so I will have fewer backs to come up with myself. There are so many good people in this world!
The first to offer to help was Lisa P. I had offered to give the fabric if anyone wanted it, and she took me up on the offer. I gave her the Turning Twenty pattern and the 20 fat quarters of fabric and she brought me back the top.
I used a free pantograph pattern from Urban Elementz called Plumeria. The thread I used was light yellow So Fine for the top and Bottom Line for the bottom.
