Okay - I can't find ANY explaination for DOWNY quilt .... ane there are a few in the PICTURES section. Why are they called DOWNY quilt?

Downy sponsers it.

If you go to downy quilt for kids, you can order a free kit. They just ask that you send it back plus one from your stash, if you can. It's sponsored by Downy fabric softener.

Downy fabric softener has teemed up with QUILTS FOR KIDS to give quilts to hospitals who participate in the quilts for kids program providing new quilts to children who are hospitalized. downy is having a couple different contests to help generate quilts to be delivered to the hospitals in the miricle childrens network. it is a great program and you can always donate the childrens quilts directly to the hospitals if you do not get them back to downy in time. also, if you purchase downy fabric softener part of the proceeds also go to the program.

I have done 10 of them this year. Wish I could do more but I already support Project Linus for the last 7 years. But wanted to do a few anyway. It is a great cause.

i will do one for sure, but no till august, my 5 year old wont give me 5 mins in my sewing room :(

AAAH -- Ok...thank you! I was gone for 4 months this winter and feel like I'm still trying to catch up :)

I am working on a Downy quilt now.

This is a great project for a great cause. I have only done one so far, but have fabric to do others.

Don't forget to post your pic's.
