Charity Quilt

One of the non-profits I like to support is the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden, CO.  Every year, I donate sewing supplies to their annual "garage sale" and I donate a pice of my art to their annual fund raiser luncheon "Fabric & Friends".  This year they are also asking people to donate a miniature quilt.  

Several years ago, I started watercolor paintings on paper.  I liked the exercise of mixing different hues to create unique colors.  I liked how they came out so I uploaded several to Spoonflower to be printed on fabric.  But I never knew how to use them until several weeks ago.  I thought if I added hand stitching to each square, it might make a beautiful miniature quilt!

Now that the top is finished, I love the texture and the colors.  I also enjoyed the process of stitching on this piece every night.  Tomorrow, I will turn this into a "quilt" by adding batting and a backing and finishing with my rattail binding technique.  Then, I need to add a sleeve and label to the back and deliver it to the museum before the deadline of March 15th!
