It has flying geese interspersed with fussy cut fish. I've decided to call it Little Fishy. It will be donated to the church where our quilting group meets to be used as a prayer quilt. It's tied and the strings are left long enough that they can say prayers while tying the final knot. I'm so happy to have it finished!
The other day my husband asked me what I was going to do with all of my quilts. He suggested I try to find homes for some of them now, rather than wait for someone else to decide what to do with them when I pass on. That was an idea I could get behind, and it's motivating me to finish some of them, and find good homes for them. Our quilting group donates to both the church and a battered women's shelter. I've gone through my tops to see what needs to be done to finish a bunch of them and donate them to one of these worthy causes.
The backing is manatees.
This is a quilt label I found on the internet. I really like it and may use something similar.
This is the label I made to use for the prayer quilts - it's adapted from the above.
We hope this quilt comforts
you, both spiritually and physically. The knots were tied while saying
prayers to God. Any loose knots can be tightened before washing to
prevent them from coming out. Even if a knot comes out the prayer will last
forever. Lovingly, Spirit of Hope UMC
