QUILTS FOR BENJI
 WEEK 3
Here are some pictures of the first 5 quilt tops completed.
The first quilt and the fourth quilt are using the same pattern with a different color for the pieced blocks. they both look great. There are more coming soon.
 the second quilt completed by Zehava, using yardage and 5 inch squares.
Quilt idea was taken from a quilt posted on the "All people quilt" site. The original was for a baby quilt, but I adjusted the sizing and it turn out really great. Seems a good pattern to make more of.
 This third quilt is a "Turning Twenty quilt except it is more like a turning thirty quilt in order for it to be the correct size, These really are very quick to make. and we can use the leftovers for a second helping quilt, wow, 2 for the price of 1, what a bargain.
 Same as quilt 1 made up by Irena, we just need to add another row to complete it to the correct size.
 Zehava also made this quilt from her own collection of fabrics.
Taken from the book Happy Hour, it is the quilt called "Snapshot" and seems to be a popular choice for the quilts. it works on the same principal as the first and third quilts, just different sizes for cutting, using fat quarters instead of strips and squares.
This coming Sunday 6th November, we will be working from 2pm till 10pm
to accomodate those quilters who would like to come during the day instead of the evening, as well as those coming after work. There are some more quilts coming in all the time, and more quilts being completed.
Thank you all so much,
 continue the wonderful work
See you on Sunday
everyone else, stay tuned for more pictures and updates of the quilts.
We will start quilting them soon.
love and best wishes to you all
