We had some great quilts come in this January! Here's a simple flannel panel that was bordered and quilted, made from a committee kit.
This cute panel was not big enough, but the addition of borders, sashing, and some four-patches did the trick! The back was made using a donated map, a perfect match for the front. Kathy from the Needle and I generously donated her talents to quilt this (and two other Linus quilts). Thank you!
This kit quilt was pieced by Marilyn N's daughter Rosemary and quilted by Marilyn. It's a great quilt for a teenage boy -- we don't get enough of those. Thanks, Rosemary and Marilyn!
This raggedy patch fleece quilt was made during a Linus worknight at Sew Sassy. Karen O. did the piecing and Tina J. provided the kit.
This string quilt is also from our worknights. Donna R. provided the green strips and muslin foundations, and everyone stripped piece using donated fabrics from our stash. Whenever we have little bits of fabric leftover, they go into our strip bin and get added to one of these quilts.
Here's another quilt from a committee kit, a cheery flannel rail fence for a baby.
Here's a bright and cheery squares quilt that soon will be well-loved by a child.
Here's another favorite that has become a committee stand-by. We make 9-patches from donated fabric that isn't children's fabric, and then turn it into a child's quilt by appliqueing a dog or cat on it.
This quilt is from a kit -- a center panel bordered by a 9-patch checkerboard.
Marion R. made this quilt from zingy, bright fabrics -- wow! It was on display in Sew Sassy, and then she donated it to Linus. Thanks, Marion!
Here's a very cute, scrappy quilt with an adorable animal-print border.
This attic windows kit, put together by Charlene B, has a different group of animals in each window -- everything from a sunbathing hippo to creepy crawly bugs. The back is a bright animal print. Thanks, Charlene!
Hancock's in Champaign gave Mary B. a large amount of pre-quilted fabric to donate to Linus. At our recent workday, we cut up the fabric into 6 quilts and cut binding for them all. Donna finished off this one. Thanks!

What beautiful quilts, and for such a worthy cause. It truly is "hearts" for Linus. Thanks for sharing your photos...it's a good thing I don't have to judge, it would be hard to pick a favorite.
