Description

Each Fat Quarter will measure approx 50x55cm.

Four by Moda, one is by Makower

We are selling these on behalf of the Duns and District U3A Quilting Group, to which Blyth & Bonnie had donated fabrics in the past.

These bolts were given to the group but they decided that the fabrics are not suitable for the children’s quilts they make. For every piece of fabric sold here, the group gets to choose a free piece from our shop instead! Also, if you go for the full fat quarter set we will include a special discount code in your package to use on your next order. ☺️

Please read on to find out more about this local group:

They are a very informal group which has been going for 8 years. Members make quilts entirely with donated fabric and all members last year made at least one quilt to donate to Comfort Quilts that gives a child in need, within the Scottish Borders, something to cuddle.

They meet during the winter months usually October to March as most of us have gardens to attend to in the Spring and Summer.  “It is an absolute joy for me to see complete beginners learn new skills and find the love of making quilts.  One of our group now also makes the most amazing bags” says Liz, the group leader.

They made and donated a total of 15 quilts last year.  The quilts are given to children using hospital services and to Social Services for
those in need. Each quilt takes 2 to 4 metres of cotton based fabric so we use quite a lot.  The feedback from the Local Coordinater is amazing.  Both Children’s Social Services and the Children’s services in our local NHS hospital Borders General are very grateful
to receive their donated quilts.
