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.

Machine embroidered quilts
Marian R. once again donated some very cute quilts with machine embroidery -- one quilted by Tom and one by Joe. Thanks so much, Marian!

More quilts donated!
Some months ago we asked guild members to contribute a particular style of block made from their child-friendly scraps, and the response was tremendous! (Click here for the pattern.)
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.
We just completed another heartstrings quilt. Because we piece them on muslin, we back them only with flannel or they get very heavy. This one has some wonderful quilting by Joe -- click on the photo to enlarge it so you can see it better. You could spend a long time checking out all the different fabrics, too.
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!

Quilts donated recently
Mary M. started with a panel to make this quilt that is sure to please a toddler or preschool child. She used her embroidery machine to stitch some choo-choo trains along the border. Thanks, Mary!
This is a committee Easy Squares kit completed by a guild member -- sorry, I don't know who made it.
Here's a cute squares kit donated by Bunny and quilted by Joe.
Nancy M. made this fleece blanket with a young girl she mentors through the local school. What a wonderful project to do together. Nancy said the student enjoyed it very much and wants to do another when school starts next year.
This checkerboard is one of the standard patterns we use for Linus quilts. Judy G., who makes many of our guild kits, completed both the following quilts. Thanks so much, Judy!

Amazing embroidery!
Marion R. has been having a great time using her embroidery machine to make quilts for her grandchildren, but she still finds time to make quite a few quilts for Project Linus. Since it's a little hard to see the detail in photos that show the whole quilt, here's a close-up of one of the blocks. Isn't it pretty?
Here's the entire quilt.
And here's another one with all sorts of vehicles.
Here's an adorable animal one.
And here's a pretty-in-purple quilt. (Sorry, the photo is really washed out.)
Thank you so much, Marion!
