Give A Kid A Quilt

I finished my quilt last week for Give a Kid a Quilt and am happy to report that I mailed it off this morning!!
But before I wipe my hands clean of this quilt, I want to thank Dana for the encouragement to do a charity quilt.  Dana had a little giveaway on her blog for fabric...providing you would use it for a donation quilt!  If you haven't checked out Dana's etsy shop yet, Thistle Hill Fabrics you might just want to pop over.  She has a lovely selection of fabrics and her customer service is the best.

And also want to thank Jamie for the easy peasy lemon squeezy pattern!  My sister is a beginning quilter and she is using this pattern with some lovely Nicey Jane fabrics.

so without further ado, here is the quilt:


It measures about 36 x 36 and it was the first time I ever used home dec weight fabrics.  If I ever use this type of fabric again, I will not use it on the binding, made for some tough hand sewing.  But I think the quilt turned out nice and will certainly keep a child warm!!
