Linus Quilts

I recently finished a few more quilts for Linus. I had hoped to finish them before Christmas time, but unfortunately, didn't make it .I usually make scrap quilts, or try and use any materials that are child oriented, and build around it using borders etc. I had been working on a large pinwheel quilt, but ran into trouble putting on a flying geese border . I decided to put it aside and  work on these, but still didn't finish the quilts in time to deliver them before Christmas. Just too many things going on. The second picture is the back of the bunny rabbit.

I messed up and didn't post the pictures correctly.

I finally finished  a few small quilt tops that have been waiting to be put together. It helps me use up all the odds and ends of  small pieces of material left over from other quilts.

I finally got working on a few Linus Quilts. Just using any material,. that a  child would be interested in and adding a few borders

A few more Linus Quilts

Everyonce in a while, when I need a break from larger quilts, I do a a few quilts for the Linus Foundation. One day we went shopping at sidewalk boutiques,(yard sales) and we found a lot of unfinished projects that some quilter had made. Very hard to pass these up.
 Eventually I added on to these to make some small quilts. Others  were made out of my stash of material.

A lot of quilters make quilts for different organizations. My local Senior Center collects them for the Linus Foundation. I believe they are given to children, of all ages. Most ofthe time I make small ones, but do make a few larger ones for teens, etc.

A lot of the ones I made, the director of the center had a lot of preprinted materials of animals, and children related materials. So many are made or centered around these prints. You always have odds and ends of batting, and sometimes I just use flannel for a filler.
