This past year had me thinking about making quilts to give away. When we made the quilts for the nursing home residents, it was a fun easy way to use up fabric and bring a little bit of sunshine into a lonely heart. When Christmas time came, I thought about the many residents who have no family or memory loss where they don't recognize family members. What would it take to make a small lap quilt or two a month, and then deliver them to a facility that could share them with the residents.
I am going to try to make at least one quilt a month (maybe more if I am able). I started with this one.
I know it isn't fancy, but I had orphan 10" squares that worked nicely.
What about you? Is there some charity, nursing home, widows, lonely friend that would love to have a quilt for Christmas? It is 11 months away, so I think it would give us enough time to share. I know I have way too much fabric sitting in my closet that will go to charity eventually. So let's share the love.

I luv the simplicity of it,makes for a warm cozy feel
I love how many quilters have big, caring hearts. These are going to be loved and appreciated! I'm currently working on some blocks that will be part of donation quilts, too.
