Guild Relief Sale Quilt

Over the years, I have shown you pictures of the various quilts my guild has made for the Michiana Mennonite Relief Sale.

 The 2018 sale quilt is in the frame and being hand quilted. I finally remembered to take my camera along and took some pictures to show you.

 Rhoda and Kathy coordinated the making of this quilt. Guild members either appliqued the basket blocks or sewed the 16 patch blocks.
The pattern is a variation of Victoria's Garden designed by Victoria Hurst.

 I'm showing this side so the baskets are right side up. More quilting has been on the top and a row of baskets has already been rolled under. That top row is about completed and probably has been rolled under by now.
Here is a close up picture of a section.

 I forgot to take a picture of an individual quilted basket block, sorry.
I appliqued several baskets, I don't know if this is one of mine or not, doesn't matter. Marie did most of the embroidery. Rhoda did the button embellishment.

 We are making progress and the quilting should be completed in plenty of time for the September sale.

    The baskets of flowers make for a very pretty quilt. I have never attended one of the relief sales but have read that they raise a lot of money and for a good cause.

    Hi Gretchen,
    What a lovely quilt! It looks like all your guild members do beautiful work to piece it all together into something so gorgeous. I am certain this will be sold for a high price and what a worthy cause. Best of all, you have plenty of time to get it all quilted and bond so it can be advertised. ~smile~ Roseanne
