Boyd's School Quilt

The West Alabama Quilter's Guild itch-to-stitch program this year was to provide at least 35 twin-size quilts to the Boyd's School for boys.  Our guild sure rose to the challenge.  I believe we donated 67 quilts in total.  

My quilt used the disappearing nine-patch pattern.  I used three different black and white fabrics and backed it with grey fleece.

 Unfortunately, after washing the quilt I noticed the seams with the white dot fabric were pulling out.  Even though I purchased the fabric at a quilt store, it was of poor quality and frayed.  Instead of scrapping the quilt, I made 1/2" bias tape and zig-zag stitched it down on both sides (which too forever)! Thankfully, it controlled the fraying and actually gave the quilt a really interesting look. I sure hope some lucky boy enjoys the quilt.
