My First Charity Quilt
 

Finally! Finally! Finally! I have been wanting to do a few charity quilts because I know how good it would make me and the recipients feel. But, for the past year, I have had 7 baby quilts to make and I finally finished all of those plus the massive amounts of gifts made in-between the quilts. I just found out today I will have another baby quilt to make for my nephew and his wife who is expecting in Jan., so I am really glad I finished this one.

The center was all appliqued with pictures I drew onto fabric and colored with fabric markers and some machine embroidery for the stars. The aliens on the border were machine embroidered. Originally, I had made this center for another quilt but the background fabric clashed with the featured fabric I had picked out, so I decided I would use it for my charity quilt. Instead of doing SID quilting, I did a narrow zig-zag over all the lines and stipple on the border with varigated thread. It looks really cute but it doesn't show up in the pictures. It will be going to a charity for abused children.

I just feel sooooooooooooooooooo good about finally doing this.
Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking.

That quilt will make some child really happy. I like the zig zag quilting. Will have to remember that for future use on one or two of my quilts. And I love your label.

This is so precious!! Nicely done. :)

very nice and great label!!!

Terrific quilt! Some child will feel very special with this!

It is so bright, happy and fun.

VERY sweet! Love the label, too. The drawings in the center are outstanding! Thank you for making this AND for sharing it with us.

I love the way you used the triangle blocks to frame the center block. Great job.

What a wonderful quilt! It's sure to be loved!!!

Very cute, a child will appreciate all your work on it. So good of you to give it.

Very nice. I love your color choices and the sentiment expressed on your label. I see a very happy child in the near future. Thanks for your generosity and for sharing.

I love the time and thought you put into this quilt. It's wonderful, bright and cheerful and is going to be much loved by a child that needs as much of those things in his or her life as possible. And thank you for warming my heart with your label, it's perfect.

Love the quilt, but the label is outstanding. Thank you for doing this. BrendaK
