Retreater Carrie left loads of packs of fabric collections intended to make into quilts for children with physical difficulties helped by the Bluebells charity. I chose one, a strange choice as the fabrics are quite dull but there were a lot of different ones which I have made up into this top using the 45 degree joining method I learnt with the Zen Chic Cosmo quilt. I had never applied this technique to large scale use in the body of the quilt. It is very useful for using larger pieces of fabric.

| The starting point - oblongs 10.5 or 15.5 by 15.5" |
I think the top measures 40 by 45" and there is enough fabric for backing this and a second quilt in which I will use the" waste" trimmed triangles.
Mandy, Carrie's dear friend and fellow retreater, will quilt them in her memory. I do have loads of wadding so I supply that for my tops.
