One thing I've been doing since I retired is to sew up projects I had bundled supplies for in my stash. Most of the fabric in this twin-sized quilt top has been around for awhile. The central Mother and Child panels came to me from Debra, (I'm pretty sure, though she doesn't remember). I found the earth toned squares in a long-gone thrift store in the early 2000s. They had been roughly cut, some looked to be from a garment, so I trimmed them to a uniform size at some point. The half square triangles were mostly made up of a charm pack of Hoffman Challenge fabrics from 2007. The fabric has history.
I'm very pleased with how this long-delayed project has turned out. It will go to Debra for quilting and donation. I feel like I got this one out of my system (and out of my fabric drawers) and that it will go out to do its good in the world.
Note: that's blue painter's tape on the sewing machine desk. I used it to quilt a small quilt, and now it's waiting for the next project.

It turned out very lovely! The blue triangles flitting around the surface are fabulous.
