Donation Quilt Completed

This was another variation of Potato Chip blocks. I made four giant ones, then added a different style of blocks on the top and bottom to make the quilt rectangular. The elephant print came from Thailand. Coralee's friend was there and brought fabric back to Canada. I attempted to make a flange binding by watching a YouTube video. The directions made an awfully narrow binding, I would do it differently next time. Lynda helped by sewing the binding onto the back. I thought I might have to stitch it around to the front by hand because it looked too narrow to sew by machine. The next day, I took a look at it and discovered that it could be sewn along the edge of the piping instead of in the ditch- yay! I fastened it down with Wonder Clips and sewed slowly to keep the stitches as close to the edge as possible. The backing is muslin and the quilting is simple free-motion loops. Marge insisted on being in the photos. I always wash a quilt just before I donate it to make sure there isn't any cat hair on it.
