For fast and affordable, this suggestion gets my vote!

If you find a panel or larger print good for a baby blanket, this would sew up fast and has a appeal to a lot of people who know they are going to need a baby gift sooner or later.

It has to be on the cheaper end but not look cheap as we all know we don't really have a lot of luck selling a quilt for what its worth! I can't wait to get started but need ideas?? Can't wait to hear from you all.!

Thanks in Advance,
Winterfun

How about several sets of Mug Rugs using up some of your scraps - that way they would have more than one thing to sell/auction.

(Be sure & add one of the cute Mug Rug poems to them so non-quilters will know what they are for)

A place for coffee, water, pop or tea
Whenever you use it, think of me. (or maybe "the JDRF")
Extra room for a little treat
Be it fruit or veggies or something sweet.
************************************
I could have made a bigger quilt,
I'm ready (and I'm able)
But instead I made this tiny quilt
to save your lovely table
So when you're drinking something hot
and want to rest your mug
Remember that your special cup
now has its own sweet rug

Good luck & have a blessed day

Cute idea! :idea:

I agree, I saw the super-sized 9 patch the ohter day and they look super fast and easy to do, plus you can do 3 of them with the same fabrics (all you need is 1 yard each of three coordinating fabrics for the front) plus the backingand batting.
