What a wonderful idea. Have you made the "no-sew" fleece blankets? They are, what I call, "Comfort blankets!" You square up two pieces of contrasting fleece (one solid and one print), make yourself a template out of a file folder so that you can cut up to 4 1/2 inch x 3/4 inch strips on each edge and cutting out a 4 1/2 inch square at the corners. Then tie the upper and bottom layer strips together using an overhand knot. This makes a cute fringe and Viola no sewing. You can do two in a day or more. They take me about 2 hours to trim up, cut slits and tie.

you can do ragged-edge quilts. Those go together very quick and the quilting is done as you go. So your daughter doesn't sew...I bet she can learn to use a rotary cutter. :-D I bet she knows how to operate an iron. It's amazing how quickly piecing can be done if someone else is pressing for you. Bless you for taking on this project.

what about making quillows they are just two pieces fabric 2yrd front and 2 yrd back put binding in and flip and you can make a pillow for the to go along and quilt will fit in it hope this is a good suggestion

I do quite a few charity quilts. If you had preprinted panels of Batman or Spiderman for boys ages 5-10, they'd LOVE em if you made them big enough for a quilt.
But whatever you do, be aware that a 15 year old is going to appreciate your work a lot more than a 3 year old. I'd make them accordingly. |

Here is the pattern I use for a super fast nice looking quilt.
I make it as big or small as I need it to be. http://www.quiltmaker.com/patterns_d...er/patt230.pdf I use this pattern for backing for most of my quilts too. Look at page 3 for more pictures of the quilts. |
Bless you and your daughter for helping kids in need.
Someone posted the Quilter's Cache site for kids quilts and it gave me an idea for 2 baby girl quilts I need to make. So to that person thank you. |
