2006 Children-of-Soldier Quilts
That is the home page of the group with which I am working to create
quilts for wounded American soldiers. Unfortunately, not all of the
soldiers survive their injuries. Many are young fathers. I have begun
making a few quilts for the children of those soldiers. I can never
make enough. If you'd like to help with blocks, tops, fabric, or
complete quilts, you can contact me through this link

This
little pink top was made with a little help from my friends. The center
is beautifully hand appliqued by Louise Barker, Quilt Chicks. The
pinwheels were donated by Monique McDevitt, Beehive. The 2 pink fabrics
were donated by Robin Martin, Trading Fabrics.
|
The
blocks in the middle were donated by Robin for a Quilts 4 Cancer quilt.
I added the purples, and swapped 3 other colors for purple ones so I
could use the 4-patches as the center for this one. I had just enough
black to make the two borders, and it was Paul's idea (my husband) to
make a breaker border in a bright color. The heart fabric had the
perfect colors for the 4-patches.
