Newtown Quilt

A few weeks ago Quilting Ranny put out a call for quilts for the Newtown, CT Communications Officers.  I immediately said yes.  I know there are many out there who contributed pillowcases and snowflakes.  I wanted to do something as well - and this is it.

Its a larger version of my Windows pattern.  47" x 67"

We were asked to make something 'larger than lap size'.  So this turned out perfectly.

I've been holding on to the backing fabric forever, and this turned out to be the perfect project for it.  I quilted from the back.  Outlining the paisley flowers, and doing a loop-de-loop pattern in between.

I quilted it with a Mettler Charcoal color.  Mettler isn't my favorite, but they had the color I needed.

*Edited to Add* Quilting Ranny is still looking for 8 more quilts for the communications officers.  Can you help?  Click over to her blog for the information and her email address.
