We finished it!

As a 4-H service project we decided to make a quilt starting in October.  A design was chosen and we went to a quilt shop in downtown Forest Grove to see a sample of a finished quilt made from that pattern.  The girls were given 5 piece blocks to sew together at home and during our work meetings.  We finished the 23 sixteen inch square blocks that we needed in December, and in January I quilted it and put the binding on using my sewing machine.  Some of the girls helped mark it and others made the binding strip.

It was sent on January 29th to an organization in New Jersey that is collecting quilts to give to victims of Hurricane Sandy.  Here is a photo of it.  It was a big job but we think it is beautiful.
