Church Quilts

Interesting center this weekend in the usual 9x7 set of squares in the charity quilts I hem in my spare time. The quilters make these single-sized quilts for shipping overseas or for use here after disasters, like Katrina.

My job is to put the binding on - a simple 20 minute job by machine in most cases, but it does give me the opportunity to review them all.

Imagine all the variations with this pattern of a random center piece of triangles alternating with whole corners and bicolor corners. Some squares are just stripes of color.

I may have to play with this pattern for a while with fabric from my stash and see what comes of it. Perhaps white, black and splashes of red. Let me ponder the possibilities.
