Each year I donate at least 3 quilts to our local Linus Project, which distributes quilts to hospitals to give to seriously ill children. My first one this year is made with red scraps using the Economy 2 block in my EQ6 software. Because these quilts have to be laundered frequently, we’re encouraged to use simple blocks and I notice what my 4-year-old granddaughter likes in my quilts and use those ideas in the Linus projects. This one has bright colors and a variety of block themes. The quilt is 45×70 inches and I was thinking about an older girl – maybe 8 to 10 years old – as I made the quilt. The nurses at the hospitals choose the quilt to go to a particular child. The first row contains scottie fabric….
The second row has different kinds of fruit….
The third row shows some funny ladies doing housework….
The fourth row contains cute cats….
The fifth row has some miscellaneous blocks.
The backing is a red print.
When I take this quilt to our distribution center, I’ll also be taking along three beautiful crocheted afghans my daughter made. In each case she used a heart pattern.
We like to think that four children will enjoy snuggling with our pieces.
