The first quilt I made and it had to have a 3 inch RED border (not my choice) donation to the RCMP in Kelowna, BC. The cruisers there had 2 quilts in each car for use at roadside accidents etc. This quilt was half scrappy and half background fabric that I purchased.
I spent a few afternoons with quilters learning how to piece and assemble various blocks and this was the first project they picked for me.
Since then I have finished 7 other quilts but this is my only scrappy quilt so far, but not the last!
I agree that these projects are great for donation. We also donated to Hospice and Neonatal units at the hospital. We sent about 80 quilts with Doctors without borders and that was a great way to use up all those kids prints that we end up with.
