I read Mary Johnson's blog...and she had a link to a lady who makes dolls that look like the child it goes to. the difference is the children are disabled or seriously injured or ill. If the child has only one arm....the doll has only one arm. I was impressed with the woman who is doing this.....and wanted to help. some of her quilting friends are making quilts to go with the dolls and there is a drive on this month to send her quilts. so, i went to the studio and pulled out things i could use.
Yesterday, I had 12 quilt tops ready to be quilted.....today I have 6 of them finished. in a few days i will finish the rest. life is in the way for a day or two. they are 22x24" ish.
First up is one with a collage of horses.
I already had the horse pieces cut out....with thoughts of making a child's quilt with them. just had to add the gray pieces to get the right size.
The back is a gray flannel
And there is a cute kitten
I had the little panel and pulled some pink scraps to surround it.
Back is a peach
This log cabin was originally going to be a pillow
It was pieced by my friend Sharon...and part of my fabric inheritance from her. the final border was the back of the pillow top.
Something from the stash for the backing
And you need a Peter Rabbit print.
This was a blanket found at a thrift store. i have a lot of it left, so, more quilts to come in the future.
The back is a snuggly flannel
And we can't forget selvages, can we? after all, i AM the selvage queen. haha
I had a few leftover selvage blocks....and added other things to bring it to size.
Back is same as front 'sashings' but camera faded out the color.
And, if you know me at all.....there has to be a wild thing...i love this.
And, in the wild theme, quilted with a circular scribble.
Back is a purple wild thing, too.
These were so much fun. I loaded 3 at a time and was finished with all 6 in a few hours. i will finish the other six in a few days, so stayed tuned. there might even be more of these in my future....who knows.

You are so fast! I haven’t gotten further than pulling a fabric for sashing the coins. I hope to get a couple done and sent too but I’m working pretty slowly - I’m so glad that you and others saw the post and are contributing too!
Each one of these is just perfect!! I love the variety of fabrics. Horses, bunnies, wild color, flowers - so wonderful of you to make these. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
