This quilt is sewn with fabrics donated to Stitchin' Mission by members of Faith Lutheran Church in Clive, where our lessons were held. The design is one I call "Stairs to Heaven," and it uses only "loaves" - 3-1/2" X 6-1/2" rectangles.
Whenever I have a leftover fabric I want to use up, I cut 3-1/2" X 6-1/2" loaves. They have many design possibilities for sewing into mission quilts.

See more photos of Stitchin' Mission quilts here, on the SM blog. Sixty-plus quilts were made during this series of five free beginner quiltmaking lessons! Wow! You can see the quilts in person next weekend, November 19-20 when they'll be displayed in the sanctuary at Faith Lutheran Church on University Avenue next to K-Mart, in Clive.
By the way, that is snow you're seeing in the background of my photos. We woke Wednesday morning to three inches of the stuff. Winter is officially here. Linda
I guess WOW!! That's amazing. You are doing such a great thing. Keep up the good work. What a good idea to cut scraps into loaves.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely quilt. I prefer this scrappy version over a two colour one and your fabrics give this one a happy look. Thanks for linking up the Stitching Mission site. I enjoyed looking at the great work on display by the participants.
