September 2016 Flannel Quilt for Kids in Crisis

 I made this quilt from heavy flannels, so I didn't use small pieces, it went together quite fast, but still took time.  The material is very rich in color.  I just put it together randomly.  I got the material from a woman in the quilt guild who recently died.  Her family gave most of the fabric away to be used for Kids in Crisis.  It really is amazingly beautiful material.  I already happened to have some heavy flannel in my sewing room.  I think I was going to use it to make a snugly warm nightgown for myself.  But it was perfect in color for the backing of this quilt, shown on the bottom picture.

5 Single Irish Chain Quilts for Newborns at Church

 Earlier I showed the box of squares that was overflowing.  I cut the light fabric squares and then spent the last 6 months or so, sewing the blocks and using up the squares.  I was determined to finish these quilts before I allowed myself to go onto something new.  The bluish one is for a boy, of course, the pink ones for the girls and the yellow/green for whichever.  I really like the combinations of fabrics on the yellow one.   They are all different sizes and will go into the cupboard at church to wait for the babies to be born.
