Welcome to Treadlestitches!
After months of happily sewing, Hands 2 Help for this year is coming to an end. I have been amazed and delighted to see the quilts on Mari's blog, and look forward to seeing more today. It's like an online quilt show!This year I made 8 baby quilts for Little Lambs. The one above is the last one, and it finally got quilted this week. I really like to have a deadline. It gives me that push to get it done.
I was inspired by Mari's hollow nine patch. It's a great way to use colorful squares. That's the backing with those white circles on dark pink, folded over the front.
To make the back wide enough, I added a row of charm squares in fun colors and prints.All the rest of these little quilts have been posted on the blog as I made them, but here they are again. You can click on the quilt's name to go to the post about it, for more photos, etc.

Sparkling Gemstones, from the book Jelly Roll Quilts, by Pam and Nicki Lintott.
And that's it for this year. It's been a lot of fun, sewing these little scraps into quilts for children.
Thanks so much to Mari, for having taken this on, and to Sarah for all her efforts in other years. It is wonderful what can be done when we work together.
