There was a post on here a while back about someone gathering quilt supplies or quilts to give out in Joplin..here is a link - maybe if you get more quilts you can hook up with them.

Hello, and welcome from Michigan!

Welcome from Michigan.:)

I vote for disappearing four patch. It takes just two favorite fabrics, is totally simple, and looks complex. We make these for some donation quilts for kids.

Also check www.modabakeshop.com for a lot of simple ideas.

I was side swiped by a tornado the Tuesday before Good Friday here in Illinois. I have damage to siding, broken window, and roof. The F3 tornado missed me by yards. The neighbor's place is gone and was scattered miles down the field. I am one of the luckiest people. The rail fence goes quickly and can be done in funky colors. Best wishes to your family.

hello, welcome to the quilting board!

I takes me about an hour to complete a crib quilt for charity.
I either quilt by machine or tie.
I use strip of different widths to accomplish this.

my crib quilts are 45 x 60 inches.

Step one. Make a backing 47 x 62 inches. Cut batting 45 by 60 inches. Very large zig zag around edge of batting when the batting is laid 2 inches inside the outer edge of the backing. Cut strips from 45 inch wide fabric fom 4 inches wide to a little sider or a little small, larger is quicker. Sew with batting side up.

Start at one end, place 1st strip right side down, dew to edge of batting and lining. Press so that piece is open. Take another strip, lay upside down on unsewed edge of first strip, stitch and turn. Follow this method until you reach the end of the quilt.

You now have finished quilting a crib quilt, now for the binding.

You have 2 inches of left over batting around the quilted section.

Turn that over like binding, mitering the corners, and stitch all the way around. I use a fancy stitch or zia zag for sewing the binding. When you reach the end, finish the joining and you are done.

Just call me impatient.

Starting at one end, sew
