I received two more kits in the mail today. I'm going to call these two "Cool Cats" and "More Power!". :D

I am interested in doing this but have a couple of questions:

1. Can I use my own fabrics if they are new and 100% cotton? I made my
grandchildren I Spy quilts just sewing 6 inch squares together...no framing.
Needles to say, I have a lot of 6 inch squares left that I would love to see
go to a good cause. Would that work?

2. I can handle the straight machine quilting but am wondering about the
binding. I always sew the binding on the front by machine and then finish it
by hand on the back. I'm not sure how I can finish the binding neatly by
machine. How do you all finish yours.

Looking forward to answers so I can order a kit and, hopefully get started using
my stash.

Thanks.

Pam

You can make one with your own fabric and just mail it to them without requesting a kit. You can go to the web site and get their address. I sew the binding right on the edge with my machine. It still looks nice.

Your blocks will be great, however the binding has to be machined stitched since the quilt will be wash, and washed and needs to hold up.
Here's the link to help you know the patterns, and rules, etc. It's such a worthy cause. :)

Wow, I was just reading this when DH said "Are you expecting anything? There's a UPS truck here..." Way cool, as the kids would say. I just ordered this Sunday or Monday afternoon. It's my first Q4Ks order as I learned about this program this past Saturday. And with all the record snows on the East coast...I'm amazed! :D
