My quilt guild's charity group put in an urgent request for baby/children's quilts. Annually in October we donate approximately 350 finished quilts to 5 different local agencies. Quilts for men/boys and young children it seems are always hard to come by.
I finished up this one from left over fabrics from a quilt I had made years ago for one of my grandson's when he graduated from fire academy. He is now a fire fighter working for CalFire. I think some little boy would love it. It measures 45" by 45".This one I think could be either girl or boy. The little dots in the blue fabric are green, orange, and pink. Not a lot of pink, so maybe.
This one definitely a girl quilt. I still have another two cut out and partially sewn together.I still have a bit of a stash of children's quilt fabrics, there is not much of a demand any longer in our family of a need for them any longer. When eventually there is there is always the ability to go on a fabric shopping spree.
A month or so ago I finished all the blocks on my Rosemary and Thyme quilt by CottonStreetCommons, or so I thought. I laid it out this past week on the design board and discovered, I had a problem. Three blocks missing, I miss counted. Now to dig out all the fabrics that were stashed away here and there and see about coming up with three more blocks. I have my work cut out for me this week on this now.

Your baby quilts are beautiful, I love the little fire trucks! I also love the astronaut theme for the girly quilt ;) Too bad for the missing blocks on Rosemary and Thyme, but they are so beautiful that it will be a pleasure to make some more. Anyway, I hope you find the stashed fabrics! Thank you for sharing these pretty little quilts and blocks, and linking up.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilts! You know I have a fondness for the Dude Quilt! I have lots of leftover material from my mens' quilts I made last year for the men in my life. I will get busy making some Dude Quilts for your charity group , men and boys quilts are definitely less popular, but I love strong, bold colors so will have fun making some quilts for your group, mom!!
ReplyDeleteLots of great quilt tops!

Love Rosemary and Thyme! (Also my fave herbs!). So cute!
ReplyDeleteAnother batch of perfect children’s quilts. I love the fire truck one. I’m glad you got your Rosemary and Thyme blocks back out to finish. How frustrating that you need to make 3 more blocks. Thank you for sharing on ToDo Tuesday. I’m looking forward to seeing Rosemary and Thyme become a finish. 😁Carol
