Donny, an I Spy Quilt
I finished this "I Spy" quilt after having set it aside for awhile. When I was a very young, my parents decided they could expand our family of six through fostering. In a single emergency placement, they took in a sibling group of 3 in addition to the 3 of us biological kids. By the grace of God, my parents had six kids ages 1-9 for eleven months. Two of the sibs were boys, but only one was nice. His name was Donny. I decided to name this quilt after him.
Last night I took the quilt to my young friend who is a foster care social worker. She said the timing couldn't have been better. She had just, moments earlier, received a call for a sibling group of 4 needing emergency placement. This size seemed perfect for the toddler boy, and the pictures would provide something for the kindergarten boy to focus on.
The back is a cozy flannel. Many of you might recognize some 2.5" squares. Let me know!

I plan to keep making quilts to donate to the Baltimore foster care system. I don't have time to make 3 more for this particular group. I am not a fast quilter. I could do large strips or big blocks quickly; that's about my only hope for speedy results.

I should say, I'm not sure if my friend will remain their case worker or if she was just there to receive the call and will assign the case elsewhere. I just don't know . Certainly could ask .
