All are very nice quilts. Love the 2nd one with the dark fabric.

The place where I send them doesn't put them directly on the baby. They are placed on top of the incubator. By the time the baby is ready to go home (and the quilts do go home with the baby), the seams probably aren't as much of an issue.

Do you mean "Littlest Warrior"? I can't take credit for that. There's a lady on another quilting forum who makes 100 of these every year for the Naval Hospital. I think she might have come up with that title.

Very nice quilts. I'm sure the babies will love them, and keep warm.

They are all nice, and the impact of color in the second is excellent!

Each one is beautiful. Bless you for your generous heart, and quilt hugs to all the preemies and their families.
