After the recent cyclone in Vanuatu, the call went out to New Zealand quilters to donate their orphan quilts. Dianne at Village Books and Crafts is our local drop-off point, and so this quilt will be dropped off there after Easter.
It started life as a couple of cheap charm packs picked up at last years Tote-n-Glote. My youngest decided to take up patchwork, and lasted long enough to make some 4 squares from the two packs. Since then it has been nothing but art quilting for her, and so they were languishing in her pile of "stuff".
After observing in the pile for six months, I decided to turn the squares into an improv nine patch quilt. It's a little on the bright side, but that is what they have requested for Vanuatu. The binding was done by my daughter, as part of her binding-for-board money swap.
One less WIP in the pile.
