Warning: put your sunglasses on!

Some of you may remember that awhile ago I was seeking orange fabrics for a quilt for a new-found cousin who loves that color.

The generosity that subsequently flowed was amazing. In addition to some great trades, several of you also just GAVE me fabric. I have so much orange, I could make a slew of quilts now. I intend to start donating them.

Below is the first charity quilt that will go out; it's a baby quilt about 29" square; and it will go to Project Linus (www.projectlinus.org).

I followed the very fun and fast "All Squares Tube" tutorial found here:

Thanks again, you orange stashers!

p.s. the backing is bright yellow!!! ;-)

beautiful! Makes me think of warm sunshine! It will surely wrap someone with love :) How nice of you to make quilts to donate :)

love it !!!
dar

Neat to see the fabric being used, especially for charity.
Good on ya from one of your "Orange Stashers."

ooops; I have to find another recipient for this quilt; they don't take anything less than 32". Suggestions?

Okay, back to work on a 32 or 36" for PL.

How about a local Woman's Shelter
or a local hospital preemie ward

very pretty

This is a wonderful idea!!

that is a wonderful quilt!

Our hospital likes the premie quilts 28"-32" to cover the isolets. Yours would definately work.

looks great

I love bright & cheerful colors and this has happy written all over it. :-P So pretty!! :thumbup:

I love love love it. I love the colors of orange and reds and yellow mixed in. It makes me happy looking at it without sumglasses. :lol:

I love it and the way you rotated the different fabrics. It reminds me of all of the oranges I eat everyday. With yellow backing, this will make a child smile. :)

What a great quilt I love orange and I think this is a wonderful way to give back for the generosity you have received!! great job!

Lovely, such a warm colour and such a loving thought.

Jilliane, if you were a part of my Project Linus chapter, I would be grateful to have such a bright and thoughtful blanket. It would go to the preemie nursery at a local hospital. Thanks for sharing your pic.

I love your orange quilt. And it's truely wonderful to hear about people that pay it forward.
