Recently, with the turmoil in Haiti, a local quilting guild decided to make some quilts to donate. For those of us with little money and a lot of fabric, this felt like something we could do to help.
We (The Chicks) decided that we would stick with 6 inch squares.
Once we had them cut, we made nine-patch squares, and then sewed 4 of those together.
It is a basic, small quilt, but could be a great comfort when you are little and scared. In the end we got 6 quilts.
Here are 2 more color combinations we chose.
The hardest thing is choosing boy patterns. There are a million, pink girlie girl designs, but need something for a boy? Good luck!! We were lucky enough to find 3 combinations that worked.
We know it's not much, but it is all we can do at the moment. Unfortunately the hardest part isn't gathering and finishing quilts, its how we are going to get them all down there. We find out tomorrow what our options are. Until then we keep sewing!!
