Scrap quilt in 2010, great idea for a giveaway.
My friend belongs to a online quilt group and each of the girls sent her at least one orphan square.
Our group of 3 gals took the squares, added scrap blocks and sashing from our scraps and made 3 quilts for giveaway to a local veteran's home. We had so many blocks that we put two tops together for both the front and the back, making them reversible. We tied them, instead of quilting them. They were warm and comforting for the reciepients. What a pleasure it was to see their faces.
The girls are going to do it again this year, we are doing the same for a women's and children's homeless shelter.
It is challenging, fun and economical...and so appreciated.
This can also be done for fire and flood victims your own area.
