I want to get organized. I look at the fabric I have. I start to go through it and in the end I cannot bring myself to put any of it in the waste basket. What am I to do?
A few weeks ago the Lord laid it on my heart to use some of the fabric to make baby quilts for one of the charities that the Pieces and Patches Quilt Guild is sponsoring this year. I have been a member of the guild since August, 2016. The organization is "Together We Can Make A Difference". This is an organization whose purpose is to touch and help people of Jackson, Michigan. Here is a link to their web site "Together We Can Make A Difference".
Each of these finished squares measure 10" x 10". The quilt measured 38" x 38". For the back I used a piece of blue flannel and I quilted it on my own sewing machine.

For the second quilt I used 5" squares of the pink and yellow to make the 4 1/2" half square triangles. I then cut the "bear" squares to 4 1/2". The quilt was assembled using the Jacob's Ladder pattern. The finished quilt measured 36" x 44". I used a piece of flannel that turned out to be perfect for this quilt.
I love this blue fabric with the little teddy bears. I had trouble deciding what to put with it. Finally, I decided to use yellow for the little 4-patches. This quilt measured about 37" by 37". The piece of flannel that I had was big enough for this quilt and the first one.
When I finished these quilts I had completely used only one piece of fabric--the bear fabric used in the second quilt. Back to the design board.
