I have decided that I would put together a sampling of them and sort them by ease of assembly -- This group is all quilts using squares or strips.
I want to start off with this fun free pattern from Fat Quarter Shop called the charm pack cherry quilt and I think this would go together super quick with a great impact (it's a simpler version of a split nine patch)

This version uses solids but below is the scrappy version

Another tried and true is a split nine patch
Wonky nine patch
Alternating blocks with solids can have a great impact ( also a great use for orphan or left over blocks)
For a little improv try
A Simple blocky design
Chunky Strips
The Scrappy Trip Along
Jelly roll Race is super quick
Jelly roll Jam (also on Fat Quarter Shop) is a new take on the split rail fence
Remember these are small projects and wheelchair quilts are usually no bigger than 36 by 36 - 40 so they work up quickly and most people should be able to quilt them on a home machine.
The stash has been sorted into usable project bundles of fabrics and will be brought to the meeting Tomorrow night. As charity coordinator, I would like to encourage each of you to make at least 2 charity quilts this year for people that are in need and really appreciate them.
If you want more ideas or to look at any of these quilts more closely I have many ideas put in a folder on Pinterest
I look forward to getting back on track with charity quilts for the seniors--they always look so happy with their quilts!
ReplyDeleteI love how easy these all are but look fantastic! I have had the Disappearing Nine Patch on my list for a while. I can't wait to try that first one up there. That design is new to me. Thanks, Katie!
