I have made dozens of quilts for Project Linus, sorry, don't have any pictures, but have made d9p, d4p, or just sewed squares of 5 or 6 inches together until I got the size of quilt I needed. I also have done appliqued Sunbonnet Sue, but mostly I try to make quilts that are more appropriate for little boys. Seems like everybody likes to make the cute "little girl" type quilts and the little fellas get left out.

Although I love making the cutesy girl quilts for PL, I do try to make an effort to make 2 boy quilts for every girl quilt due to the need.
For those of you that do the fleece blankets with the crochet edging, do you use one or two layers of fleece? I prefer my fleece blankets to be two layers, but I usually have sewn them right sides together leaving an opening and then flip them right side out. Does PL care how you finish off the fleece blankets, or is my sewn method sufficient? I hate doing fringe on fleece.

And here is another helpful site: http://www.sjlinus.org/Links.htm
There are so many ways to make them. I do one layer of fleece with a single crochet border, and use the Skip Stitch tool to make the anchor holes for the crochet. ( http://www.skipstitch.com/ )
