Here we are with the very first Refuge House quilt tops complete. They look nicer than I thought they would. Now we have to figure out how to put the backing on and bind them. We are going to go without batting because they will be sent to a warm climate, so we want these to be used, and not put away because they are too heavy. As we pieced together these tops, we realized that quilting creates a story. There is a story that goes with each of the fabrics. The imperfectly done pieces remind us of the learning process, and even remind us of who put together the quilt. It has been a great experience so far. Our goal is to get 5-6 done by the end of September. After that, school starts for a lot of us and we may have less time to devote to our quilting group.
