Summer Garden Compassion Quilts

I'm continuing with my machine quilting journey and have quilted two small quilts that I named Summer Garden. They were squirrel projects I first posted about here.

Now they're quilted, simple stitch in the ditch quilting.


They both measure 37.5" by 46" and will be donated to the cancer center at Goshen Hospital. I love the fabrics and I hope they bring a smile to the recipients. 

The fabrics used in the quilts were from a fat quarter bundle I purchased at the Jane Stickle retreat several years ago. The binding fabric was made from the fabric not used for piecing blocks and the fat quarter bundle is completely gone!
