Holey Moley!! Two days ago I signed up for the free quilts for kids program that Downy is sponsoring and received my kit today!! It is all precut, pattern for a 4 patch squares cut, borders, backing and binding and a label to attach! How cool is that!

That is so neat---I love the fabrics. Please post a pic of your quilt when it is finished.

Wow!!!!!!Thanks fro the site.

MIne arrived today too. I can't wait to get home to see it. I signed up on Monday.

Very cool!!

Let's all post pics of our fabric here and then our progress. Sound good? I can't wait to get started, was reading the directions and I do have to cut a little bit but not much and the strips are already cut. I just need to get batting for it.

This is cool. Thanks for the info. I just signed up.

What do you click on once you get into the site. I see nothing about Kits.

Whoops, I found it and signed up. Don't know how I missed it the first 3 times!

I have done a quilt for the kids - mailed it two weeks ago. Everything comes pre cut, the colors are bright and the pattern is included. All I had to supply was the batting and mail it back!

I wish I could do one, but I don't machine quilt.

I am getting my kit in a few days, I love that they are doing it for the kids and it makes them so happy.

I wonder how many they will let you do?

Cool!!! I just signed up, too!! :D

You can use your own stash fabric and make them also!

I just signed up.
I'll also send one of my own also.

What a great cause!!

I just signed up too. Can't wait to get mine and get it made. :mrgreen:

I just signed up too. I'll finish one with thier material and one with mine. This should be fun. Glad to help out when I can.

Yes they say that on the directions for the quilt 38x46 and has to be machine sewn and quilted.

Oh, I like the colors of the fabric. I signed up a few days ago to. Now that I have seen what we get I am real excited. I am also making one from my stash. It would be cool if everyone here would make one.

I was just reading about this in a quilt magazine.. and I signed up too!

they really would like for you to send them one of your own back with the one you make for them.
i got mine the other day..and it is going to be so cute! quick and easy pattern..you can use up alot of scraps with the 4 patch! (stashbusting) i have some cute pink fabric with fairys on it..that would work up cute..

Thanks for the site. I also signed up.

I went to volunteer to do one and after reading the information was sad. They won't ship out of USA so I can't do one. It's a great idea. Wonder if there is a Canadian link ???

I just signed up. I'll also make a second one to send.

Just signed up also. What a fantastic program and outlet for us. I have 3 baby quilts in progress, and didn't know who to give them to, now I do! Thanks Up North!

this is a great project for people on a limited budget, but still want to sew and for charity too?..a win win!

Good concept...would love to see your quilts when they're done. I'm in Aus, so will have to give this one a miss...happy quilting.

I just signed up. I'm going to try to send two back, the one they send me and one from my stash. Twice the helping.

I signed up too and should be getting the kit any day :D :D :D
How fun to be able to do this!!! I can't wait to see everyones quilts :D :D :D

finished mine this morning.. :mrgreen: it is now nap time, i cut up the fabric for another one, out of my stash, will sew it after i take a litle kip..

I got my kit quickly also. Now I just have to get busy on it. The colors are so cheery!

:D Thanks for the link. I had been trying to sign up through another board but they never listed the correct link. this one worked and I am now signed up. This will be my big opportunity to make kid's quilts since mine are too big. LOL

Thanks for the link! I just signed up too.

I know that those outside of the US would like to help out... you could always make your own and send it, rather than just receiving the kit. If you are able to out of your stash, I know they would appreciate it.

Thanks so much for the info. I just signed up! Will bust my stash too.

I tried to sign up, planning to make a quilt from their kit and one from my stash. For some reason when I hit the request button, it wouldn't take my request, said something like I wasn't qualified. ???
I emailed them, guess I will wait till at least Monday to see why they think I am not qualifed.
Has this happened to anyone else?

Just signed up for my kit. Thanks for the post.

That looks absolutely great....looks like they are going to get some terrific quilts.

you could do one for your childrens hospital also an send it to them.
I might just do that since they don't have chapter here in my state an
take mine to Little Rock when I go in the spring unless my son has to go before that.By then I could have a bunch of them made.An as Omak said
I do for sure need to bust some of my stash an I agree with her.

I'm in and can add one of my own

oooooooooooo thats gonna be pretty. thanks for the site
