Linus quilts provide a wonderful opportunity for you to expand your quilting skills! Try a new technique, work with a different set of colors, make something a little different and see how you like it. Stacking, slicing and rearranging blocks makes for a very fun quilt -- give it a try! This one uses sports fabrics.
If you've always wanted to try bargello or a trip around the world, a Linus quilt is a much-appreciated way to test out the technique.
Want to see how you feel about making wonky log cabins? Pull out your scraps and try! This is a great block to make when working with a group -- if things get a little off, it's ok, and all blocks can be trimmed to the exact same size without ruining the design.
One guild member took a quilting class from Ami Simms and decided to learn the technique using strings of animal fabrics that had been donated to Linus. A fun quilt was the result!
And for the rest, just closeups so you ca see the fabric choices. Here's a wild animal quilt.
