A quick Strip Quilt

We wanted to do a service project as a family.  Of course we decided to make quilts!  This one was made for the elderly patients at the hospital who need something extra to keep them warm.  I actually put chenille on the back to make it a little heavier.  It was really fun and easy to do.  The best part is that when I had to stay in the hospital, I saw somebody using this quilt in their room.  That made my day!

A Square is a Square

Ok, I am trying to get back into the swing of things so here goes.  This is a fun little quilt I did.  The center squares are gathered together to give a little dimension.  It was a fairly easy quilt.  I uses Moda Pure fabric line and loved the result.  It has minky on the back so it is nice and cuddly.  My youngest daughter adopted this quilt as soon as I finished it even though that was not my intentions for it, but sometimes our minds are made up for us instead of by us.
