Charity Quilt


While I'm waiting for my extra Something Blue fabric, I decided to work on a charity quilt that my quilt guild was talking about.  It's called "Hats of Hope," an organization that gives hats and quilts to babies in the mountains of the tropics to keep them warm.  Whoever thinks babies get cold in the TROPICS???  But they do, in the higher elevations.  It's COLD in the mountains!

 
The quilts have to be small, around 36-40 inches.  I whipped his baby quilt up in a couple days.  It was small enough to pin on my dining room table.  It's made up of a one-yard cut of "outer space and aliens" fabric, and the back is pieced from flannel scraps I had left over from another quilt.  The binding is also made from leftover scraps.
