What lovely presents for the least of all. Those babies truly need warmth and color too in order for their little eyes and brains to grow and continue to develop.

They are adorable! I like the light quilting, too.

The same thing happened to me, so I am sending mine to Anna. I contacted her via PM and she got back to me promptly and I am going to send her some as soon as I get the box full.

I too send my preemiequilts to a hostess who is attending a hospital which is willing to give these quilts to the parents: not all hospitals would act like this, some refuse strictly to participate in this action!
over the last year there were more then 8.000 quilts sewn and distributed!

Beautiful work - neat way to de-stash your scraps. Is that even possible?

They are too cute and I'm sure any parent of a preemie would appreciate getting one. Love the colors of fabrics that you used.
