    This is the latest one. Finished today. I love these colors. My laptop and Ipod are bright apple green, and I even have sewing shears with aqua and apple green handles.

    Thanks, everyone! I especially appreciate the comments about the stitching, since I feel like I take the easy way out. So many examples of intricate quilting on this site... and then there's me and my DMC floss.

    :roll:

    Anyway, I love making these Project Linus quilts. This is my 10th one since last fall.

    Great job. I like those colors, too. There is a very lucky child out there that will be so happy to get this.

    Cute quilting. I have a Downy quilt I need to get going on. This gives me an idea.

    Do you order the quilt kits from the website, or do you just buy your own supplies? One of my friends got a kit last year, and the pieces were cut kind of wonky. I think it was a Downy website kit, although it might have been from a local chapter or something. I just know she had quite a hair-tearing time of it, trying to fix the cuts. She ended up adding fabric to it.
