I've made a few quilts for Quilts for Kids and I've done some as Dina said and some using the cross hatch.
Really cute quilt. I know some child will love it.

Hello and what a nice donation. I think If it were me, I would stipple. You can run with it and have fun.
Our guild made baby quilt donations to a local center for parents in need. It is a really cool concept. They register with the center and earn points. for every class, video, and lecture they attend, they go to they earn points and have the oppurtunity to shop in the store. They earn points for attending church, volunteering in the store and more. They can purchase diapers, food, quilts etc.We made over 35 for the center and it was really gratifying.
