This closeup shows the fabrics used in this one. So lively! The pattern goes together quickly and is a great way to showcase a fun novelty print.
Here's another quilt that looks like a strippie -- but it's not, it's a cheater panel! If you want an ultra-quick donation quilt, let the fabric do the work for you. :)
We completed another string quilt with red center strips.
And this sweet quilt was donated. A child who likes purple will love it for sure!
This simple brick quilt is a great way to use up scraps!
This trip-around-the-world top was donated. What an interesting border!
If you click the photo for a closeup, you'll see that this is a whole-cloth train quilt -- on both sides! The side shown most in the photo would be fun for a young child to use with his or her toy trains.
The Linus committee also completed another string quilt at our worknight. Check for the heartstrings pattern link in the sidebar if you want to make one of these yourself. They are fun to make with your scraps.
The next two quilts are from easy squares kits. Judy G. has been cutting kits for us -- thank you, Judy! Collen J. put this kit together and quilted it, too.
I don't know who assembled this top, but thank you!
This top was pieced by a local quilter and donated to Project Linus to finish.
Here it is (the color is better in this photo) with the red dotted fabric and blue star binding showing.
Here's a photo of one of FOUR (!!!!) completed tops made from our guild block. Each one looks different, as every block uses different fabrics. These are very fun I Spy quilts for little kids.
And many thanks to Joe F., who is learning to use his longarm machine by quilting many of our donated tops.
This is a great quilt of shining stars! It's big enough to be used by a teenager.
This red, white and blue quilt -- featuring nautical fabrics -- has squares of a few different sizes. Very cute!
This soccer quilt was started at the February Make-A-Blanket day and is finally ready for donation. This is a Project Linus pattern.
Diane M. at Sew Sassy made this quilt and had it hanging in the shop for a few months before donating it. Love that Laurel Burch border fabric!
We received 3 fleece quilts with car appliques, all in different colors. The cars are actually pockets that a child can put something into.
Thank you EVERYONE who donated a blanket to Project Linus!
And here are two more quilts made from blocks made by guild members. These are like I Spy quilts for little kids. Thanks to everyone who donated blocks and helped put these quilts together.
Here's a close-up of one of the blocks. Each one has a child from a different part of the world.
Here a few blocks are mixed with coordinated squares. Very cute! Click the photo to zoom in for a closer look.
Here are two more quilts put together using our guild block. They are like I Spy quilts for kids. The blocks are simple to put together, and one of our guild members had her 7-yr-old granddaughter helping. Way to go, Debbie L.!
You'll see more blankets made from these blocks as they are finished being quilted and bound. Stitchers who participated in our February Make A Blanket Day pieced 9 or 10 tops using this pattern.
Marion R. has made another embroidered block quilt. The overall photo didn't come out well, but here's a closeup of one of the blocks. Each block featured a child from another part of the world wearing traditional dress. As always, it's great quilt!
We also received several quilts based on squares (what a wonderful way to use up scraps!). This is an Easy Squares quilt made from one of the kits the Linus committee makes.
Here's another squares quilt.
And this is a rail fence made from donated fabric. It's a very cuddly quilt!
Thank you to all the guild and community members who have helped make these quilts. Often so many people contribute to making a single quilt that I don't know who all was involved and cannot thank them individually -- but know that they are very much appreciated!
As always, this cheery quilt had one of Bunny's trademark labels. Adorable!
Bunny made this quilt from a panel donated to Linus.
This John Deere one will be very much loved!
This one uses squares of a cowboy fabric.
Bunny used up lots of scraps in this Chinese Coins quilt.
This squares quilt is almost an I Spy.
Bridgie C. also brought some quilts with her. Here's a fun sky quilt.
And Bridgie's pretty-in-pink quilt will make someone very happy.
At the worknight Dixie and her daughter joined heartstring blocks to make this top.
Most people there worked on piecing strippie tops, and several people took strippie kits home to complete there. Wow, thanks! The pattern for these easy, fast, and delightful tops can be found under "Quick Strippie" at Mary Quilts. Why not check it out and make a quilt for Project Linus?
