Interesting Info: Gudrun is putting the profits from the sales of her Hope quilt pattern and her Ukraine Mini Mystery Stash Builder Bundle toward the program--backings, battings and shipping. You can find all the info on the program at Quilters for Ukraine.
The checkered portion of the backing, and binding came from Japan.
The quilting shows up so clearly on this portion of the backing!!!
The quilts being collected by GE Designs are going to Hello Cotton for distribution to Ukrainian refugees. There's still time to join in! GE Designs is collecting blocks and also asking for volunteers to assemble blocks, longarm quilters to quilt tops and stitchers to put the binding on quilts. Find out more details at Quilters For Ukraine. I have volunteered to do quilting on my longarm, so be watching for more Quilts for Ukraine on my blog!!!

This is one of the most beautiful Ukraine quilts I've seen so far. I really like the combination of the sunflower panto with the straight lines of the string blocks, and the way you used a range of blues and yellow/golds to create a sense of depth. Did you use foundations for the string blocks or just piece strips together and then subcut them into squares? I enjoy seeing you in the picture, too!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful effort to help Ukraine! You and Bonnie made a gorgeous quilt and it will bring hope. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.

ReplyDeleteHow lovely! And perfect! The colors are gorgeous together (of course), and the quilting is certainly apropos (of course). And that it's a group effort makes it even more special. Well done to all of you! Love seeing a picture of you with the quilt too. Really great work.
