100 Quilts for Kids




These quilts were made for the "100 Quilts for Kids" quilt-a-long.


Thanks to Kate over at Swim/Bike/Quilt for hosting a linky party where you can see lots of other quilts made for "100 Quilts for Kids."
This is adapted from a pattern in Amy Ellis's book, "Modern Basics". 

A few appliqued stars
I like pieced bindings; but, I love pieced backs!  By using up a few scraps, makes a length of fabric so much more versatile!
A couple months ago, I promised Diane over at Dew Quilting that I would participate and send this along to the Down Syndrome Assoc. of Middle TN in honor of her son.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

This second quilt is flannel top and bottom, pieced in random sized strips.
 I had just enough pieces left over to stretch out this length of daisy fabric to cover the back!
This quilt will be donated to the Boise/SW Idaho/E Oregon Project Linus Chapter.
Don't forget to check out Kate's linky party to see all the wonderful Quilts for Kids!
