Here are the two newest crib sized quilts I have finished for Quilts for Kids, Inc. charity. The dinosaur one was a kit that they supplied the fabric for. The only thing I added from my stash was the purple for the binding and label backing. I just used the same pattern they supplied and used some leftover fabric from my boy's curtain fabric to make the cars quilt. These are my third and fourth donations to the same organization. They are so nice and I enjoy it totally. This is not the first nor the last they will receive from me! Thanks for looking :)

Nice quilts! I love working with Quilts for Kids!! I finished a kit top and another from my stash last week. Monday I found a person who is just starting up a chapter in my area! She's still working on getting contacts and stuff but today I whipped up 2 and also helped a friend cut out fabrics for another 2 that would work for Teen boys from my stash. They had a call out for quilts for Teen boys. In a few minutes I am going to put together "kits" for myself and my friend to work on. I pulled a bunch of fabrics I think a Teen boy might like an going to whip up a bunch. I hope to hand our local coordinator a really nice stack of quilts by the time I get to meet her face to face next month!

Good job! Wonderful of you to do them to pass on to the children.

I've made two quilts for Quilts for Kids, and I just got another kit from them. I just love how well the kits are put together - straight and clean. It makes very easy to put them together. I also love their fabric choices - bright and with colors I never would have thought go together (but they do!). It's a great way to contribute to a good cause.

Absolutely wonderful. Some children are going to be so thrilled to be wrapped in that kind of love!

I asked our local chapter what they need most and was told the teen boys are the ones who get left out. So my next will be a larger quilt again like the twin size I made last time.
