Very thoughtful and a heart warming way to use up your scraps. I'm sure they will fall into good hands. They look like fun projects.

Thank you for showing these pretty little quilts, I just adopted your idea. Previously I made fidget blankets inspired by you. Keep up the inspirations

Did you just call the NICU and ask if they would like these donations, or was there some other dept. that you made arrangements through?
Lovely quilts and very kind of you!

Lovely quilts, how kind of you to donate them.

Beautifully done and such a wonderful idea. I bet many more NICU babies will be blessed with precious quilts thanks to your post. Thank you for sharing.

How cute these are. Gives me great ideas for the preemie quilts I am working on.

For these preemiequilts we only use poly batting because there is often high humidity in the rooms where these little ones are and cotton will get dampy and warms no longer! For normal baby quilts you can use what you like best! I used for the quilts for my grandchildren normal poly batting! And by the way: I like to use in these quilt something old from mammy or daddy, an old pillow case or so!

I am several years into trying to use up my fabric by making charity quilts. Normally I don't make any two alike just to keep it interesting. But somehow the fabric I buy to 'enhance' or coordinate on my charity quilts outnumbers the amount of fabric I had in the first place. So I'm deeper into the fabric business but having lots of fun at it!
