Quilts for Catherine House

These quilts were all delivered this week...
 A scrappy warm flannel quilt using left overs from someone else's project.
 Scrappy blue rail fence.
 These are the scraps that Debbie rescued, made a lovely quilt from and donated to Quilts from the Heart.
 A vibrant red, string pieced quilt.
 Another of Alan's scrap quilts, above and below, same pattern, but different looks with 
different borders.
 
A string pieced quilt, doesn't show up well, but the centre blocks have cat fabrics in them.
Pink and floral one patch quilt. 
 This fabric obviously appealed to one of my fellow quilters so much it never got cut up!  
Borders + groovy print = funky quilt!

 Wow this is actually one I made.  I started it back in the summer, but never got around to finishing putting it together for quite some time.  I ran out of the pink check and had to dig through the stash to find more.  These fabrics all came out of a donated stash from a lady going into care.
 A very soft floral print mixed in with some plain blocks, all cleverly laid out in a pattern.  
 More one patch, but love they way the made the first and last row half size!
 
And finally the quilt top that my mother donated.  She started this quilt for a friends grandson, then decided it wasn't right (butterflies?) and never got around to putting the border on it.  When she had a clean out she gave me the backing, border print and I put it all together. And then of course our very talented Elaine quilted it, along with all the others!  

These quilts were all sent to Catherine House, a centre that specifically helps homeless women in Adelaide.  Go to this link HERE if you want to know how YOU can help Catherine House!
