.This isn't my quilt I finished and sent back. In my haste I totally overlooked taking a picture of it. The fabric is good quality so you know it's going to hold up to repeated washings. These quilts are for kids that need something to hold on to. So after receiving an email thanking me for my contribution I signed up to have them send me another kit. Now, this time I figure I will purchase materials, or pull from my stash, and make a companion quilt to send back with the finished quilt from their kit. The size of the box at the post office showed there was plenty of room for a second quilt with no additonal postage !
The fabric has arrived - it's a cute Alice in Wonderland print fabric. The pattern for both that I've done is the same as the picture I inserted above. It's a basic 4-patch with a companion print in a larger square. The larger blocks are precut. The inner and outer boards come as strips as well as the strips you piece together and then cut for the 4 patch blocks. And they include the backing so it really goes together so quickly. The instructions that come with the fabrics outline the types of battings they recommend. Remember this is probably going to be washed a lot so it has to stand up to that. They provide a quilt label too. How you quilt yours is totally up to you so use that wonderful #4 stitch, your bsr, or any other method you want to use (or practice) for quilting.
Plus it will make you feel good about yourself for donating your time and skill to a youngster who will treasure the quilt you created. Oh, here's the link if you'd like to join me. It's a gift from the heart.
