Blankies for the Preemies
 

The last one, Next Door Neighbor, has a pale lavender inner border but the camera turned it blue. I made 10 blocks 4 years ago and decided to make 2 more blocks and turn it into a nice preemie blankie. The back has hearts too.

The crazy patch aqua is a UFO from 5 years ago, but it will make a nice mini for a preemie.


The red heart is my own pattern for a little girl and I did another one for a friend as a mug rug>(yellow one is hers). Hope you enjoy my preemies!

and the last one: (also, the yellow heart mug rug)

Cute, cute. Where do you send your preemie blankies?

These are going to San Diego hospital for high risk pregnancies.

They are all so great wonderful projecvt!!bless you!!

nicely done

very cute, a cuddley for someone specail

They're all very cute!

How cute they all are. Nice job and good heart. (Meaning yours)

Those are all so pretty. You do very nice work. I love the hearts too. I think I might make one of those hearts tonight to put on the wall for my dad who is in a nursing home for rehabilitation right now.

What a nice thing to do for your dad! He will enjoy that touch of love! They measure 5.5" x 8". I'll upload the pattern I used if you'd like it or maybe others would love to make and give one too. The seam allowance is included. Just lay the pattern on top of your stripped piece and cut out the front and back and voila -- a cute heart! It was a very fast mini for me! My friend's favorite color is yellow so I know she'll just love it! The hearts make a great gift idea! Thank you, JuneBillie, for your nice compliments! Hope your dad recovers quickly!

You do great work!

Love them all!!!

So great! I was wondering what size you made them. thanks for posting.. I sent all my doll quilts to the NICU in Colo. Memorial Hospital.. Those were about from 12X12 INCHES to about 24"..and even 2 crib size quilts.

Nicely done! Very generous of you.

Such a good idea. The parents will appreciate the quilts very much.

Very cute and I'm sure much appreciated.

WTG, AlaskaAlice!! The parents will love them! I think the heart is a good size for the preemies and I understand some of the babies can be 12 lbs. even so all sizes of minis would be good! This hospital I've sent to has babies from all over the US as they are from high risk pregnancies and if they don't survive, they use the minis to bury them with. But the parents love to use the minis to decorate the rooms as it gives them hope their baby will live. We hope they all survive! I put the hanger on in case the parents want to use it later to decorate the baby's bedroom with. I'll be doing more hearts for I know this will be a popular request!

p.s. I just finished HQ Next Door Neighbor! Can't wait to get them off! Thank you!!

They are all very cute, and what a wonderful thing you are doing.

What great quilts. I just love the car fabric as my first car was a 1956 Chevy and 6 months later I bought a red and white corvette. How odd that they have both my cars in a fabric.

When our GS was born--the isolettes were covered with a crib quilt. The quilts helped shield preemie eyes from the lights. When he went home, the quilt came along.

They are all very cute!

wonderful work

Bless your heart for keeping the preemies warm and cozy. Everything you've shown us is lovely.

Wow! Wonder what the odds are of that happening! Send me your addy and I'll send you the mini! It definitely speaks your name! I can make another! It's Route 66 fab from HobbyLobby and Marshall Dry Goods probably has it too as well as many other LQS's.

Very cute!

Very very cute !!! All of them !!

Very nice blankets for preemies, they will be loved.

Very nice!
