Good Cheer Quilts 2020 thru August 2021

 Hi - all these quilts were made primarily by the 4 members of the Good Cheer committee of North County Quilters, plus me, who moved back to the area in January 2020. Rita and Beth helped on a few. We met all during the 2020 lockdown - outside, 6ft apart, freezing in the winter and sweating in the summer - and all thru that time we made quilts. 

It started out with Sandy, the woman at whose house we meet, assigning us blocks to make for a quilt. Two weeks later, at our next meeting, we laid out the blocks, admired them, and then Sandy assigned the next quilt's worth of blocks. Eventually other members came up with the next block so we've done lots of different patterns, color combos, etc. It's all been great fun and we've made a lot of quilts.

We use donated fabric, fabric we've bought, fabric from our own stashes. The White Elephant committee has given us a lot of good stuff. Thread and batting mostly comes out of our own pockets. 

Following are just the 43 quilts that were on my camera roll, made during the year of September 2020 thru August 2021. I missed photographing a bunch because we've made a lot more. Claire gives a count in the newsletter each month. Enjoy!
