Indiana Women's Prison--Newest Quilt Done!
 

This has to be the most difficult project I've tackled so far in my quilting journey! I've been referring to it as "The Quilt From Hell" for several weeks! Actually, it is "The Nemo Quilt" and was finished just this morning.

This quilt will be sent out to Indiana Women's Prison along with another quilt that should be finished by the end of the week and some hats that I knitted using donated yarn.

This quilt was completed with a very generous donation from DSIL, Charlee. She found this partially cut quilt with blocks pieced at a Goodwill store. I pieced together the blocks, made the borders, backed and quilted this.

Thanks for looking and being so supportive!

For those that don't know, the Indiana State Prison system has a program for the pregnant women that are incarcerated there. These women, as long as they have less than a certain amount of time to serve, and are non-violent offenders, can keep their babies with them until their release.
These babies and their mamas have nothing for the babies that is provided by the state prison system, EVERYTHING, clothing, diapers, formula, bedding, etc. is provided for them by donations. When Peggy heard about it, she decided that every baby needs a quilt to grow up with. The quilts that Peggy makes and sends stay with the babies that they are given to, and go home with the babies when their mamas are released from custody. (It's a condition that the prison people agreed to when Peggy offered to send quilts)
I'm pretty sure that Peggy can use all the help she can get if anyone wants to volunteer or donate! :)

That is darling! And so are you for being so big-hearted. Someone will really love & cherish that beauty! Thanks for sharing with us!

I can honestly say it was just pure dumb luck!!! :)

its beautiful and bless you for doing it

Bless you, thw quilt looks complicated? beautiful

Thanks! I got the smaller blocks already pieced. There wasn't a real pattern. I just made sure that when I put them together I had a "star"...then I put the stars in rows. Beyond that I didn't give it much thought. I added the white boarder to tone down the busyness and pieced the back from what came with the blocks. It was pure luck! My DSIL, Charlee from the board, found the whole thing at Goodwill and donated it to my cause!

So beautfiul. From a few blocks alone to a magnificent quilt. Very nice.

Beautiful work, and what a generous gesture.

So nice of you to do this.

It looks wonderful!!!

This is a beautiful quilt! To think it was sitting at Goodwill just waiting for you.

Very pretty quilt!

Gorgeous! Worth the effort of figuring it all out.

Very nice. I would have a hard time donating that one. Glad you do donate. I have an adult care facility that I donate to so I know how much it will be appreciated.

I love the ribbon star pattern. You did a great job.

What a delightful quilt! Thank you for your sharing spirit.

Very nice and what a great thing to do. You are passing on a great blessing.

I recently saw a program on TLC channel about this called "Babies Behind Bars"
Who do you contact about donating? Where do you send things to? Can you send gently used clothing or does it have to be new?

To Peggy - Great job! Absolutely beautiful. These women/babies are blessed to have you helping them.

I love this and the idea that it is going to someone who would appreciate a little kindness. Good on you!

Bless you for your hard work. Love the quilt. Know the Stars are the Friendship Star not sure of the pattern placement but really like it. Would like to do one like it. If anyone knows the quilt pattern please let me know. Thanks again for all you hard work. and thanks for sharing. BrendaK
