I have become addicted to charity baby quilts. I have a practical bent and can only make quilts that someone wants or needs.
When I was trying to learn FMQ I read that charity quilts were a great way to practice. I took it to heart and have done 47 in the last year. Our guild goal for this guild year is 250 for a camp for teenage mothers and their babies. I am determined to do my best to ensure we make this goal. Baby quilts are so much fun. You can try new patterns and quilt patterns without a huge investment in material or time. Now that I am fairly comfident about FMQ, I alternate between churning out simple quilts to make our numbers and working on improving my novice piecing skills.
