Little panel quilts




Happy Friday! I hope you're enjoying the days getting longer as spring gets closer. Here are a few small quilts full of cheerful fabrics. This first one is made with eight donated orphan 16-patch blocks. I added these whimsical kitties that were given to me by a member of my online guild, Sunshine.


Kathleen actually sent me two of the kitty panels, so I set the other one among orange, blue and black 9-patches. The little cat faces are so cute!


I had lots of this orange kangaroo fabric, so I used it on the back.


This panel features jungle animals with their babies. The coin strips were donated to CiL a long time ago and waited patiently to jazz up this sweet quilt.


How about an alphabet panel in soft neutrals? Every letter represents a different wild bird. Clever! I added top and bottom rows of windmill blocks that were donated recently.


The last three quilts are scrappy ones from my own stash. 


Both the butterflies and the bright plaid were donated to CiL and work great on the back.


I had lots of 3.5" and 4.5" wide scraps, so these quilts are made from those pieces. The blocks are 7" finished and I made each block a single color. This one has "blacks with brights" surrounded by "white with blacks."


And this one is "greys with pops of brights."  All the quilts in this post are all baby-sized. One of the hospitals we serve has a NICU and requested a few baby quilts. Please keep in mind that the vast majority of our quilts go to adults and that still our main need. Thanks!
