November
KMQG met on Saturday November 18, 2023
Charity Quilts
We saw three charity quilts in various states of completion made with blocks constructed by members.
The polka dot star quilt has been completed - pieced, assembled, quilted, and bound.
Sandy and Elizabeth used surplus polka dot star blocks to construct a second quilt top which will now go for quilting - watch this space for the completed quilt.
Another quilt which we saw as a completed top last month has been quilted and has now gone for binding - look out for a picture of that when it's all finished.

As usual, an inspiring and very varied collection of members' projects.
