I rescued a quilt top from a friend. She received the blocks as part of an online bee, but she was not happy with the top. I've now quilted it, and it will be donated in the name of Hands2Help.
I quilted two quilts at the same time. I had a piece of wide-back that would not have not been wide enough if I had cut it into two pieces. So I thought I'd try two at a time. I think this might be my new solution to get some UFOs finished.

Nice save, Anja, and I love that you quilted your name in!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Ya gotta love a twofer!
ReplyDeleteI love those blocks. Luckily, you were there to quilt and find a home for the finished quilt. I'm not a long arm quilter, but it sounds like a great idea to quilt two at a time.

ReplyDeleteSounds like a great solution :) Sometimes the unexpected works, right? And the top is lovely so thanks for "saving" it and giving it to a new home. xo Melanie
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to rescue and repurpose a quilt top. So I guess the big question now is how much wide backing do you have compared to number of pieced quilt tops?! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great, Anja!
ReplyDeleteAnd I saw a sneak peak of your name in the quilting ... you are clever!
How great that you managed to get 2 quilts done!
Happy happy Quilting! :-)
Great save! I like how she offset the quilt blocks in the rows! Nice that it will going to someone in need.
ReplyDeleteOh what a great save!!! It will be loved!! I love quilting two and a time and a couple of times I have put 4 baby quilts (2 x 2) on a wide back - great way to quilt faster!! go you!!
ReplyDeleteClever, very nicely done. It’s wonderful that it will go to such a good cause.
ReplyDeleteAnja, will you please send some glasses and eyedrops to your friend? I am surprised that she did not like THIS top. I LOVE this top. How big is this quilt? I am sure it will be bring joy and comfort to the recipient.
ReplyDeleteWonderful save, Anja!!! Great when you can quilt two at once.
ReplyDeleteOkay must've been Insta where I commented as I know this quilt! It's gorgeous and I'm so glad you rescued it. I'm quilting up #3 for H2H today.
ReplyDeleteFantastic finish Anja. I love the blocks and the setting - I am so glad it isn't languishing in the maker's closet somewhere! It is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYes, quilting two at a time is a great time-saver! Another lovely quilt, sure to bring a lot of comfort. Thanks for being part of Hands2Help 2020!
