First Crew members get very excited when we receive quilts from people and states that are new to us. Last fall we were able to add two new states: Maryland and New Hampshire. We now have received quilts from Oregon, California, Arizona, Washington, Iowa and Minnesota. One member of First Crew, who is a big fan of Kaffe Fassett fabrics, was extra enthralled when she saw the quilts from New Hampshire. Three quilts were made entirely from half-square triangles, one half Kaffe with the other half white. We estimate that the quilter made well over a thousand triangles for these quilts. In another quilt, she used Kaffe Fassett shot cottons to build rows of colorful African huts. All are flannel backed. Aren’t they wonderful? ~ Rachel Stevens, First Crew, Portland, Oregon
