Our patchwork group are making little quilts for children that are removed from their homes.
When they are taken from home they will be given a quilt to take where ever they go and keep with them to cuddle.
This one was made a bit bigger than the others but I'm sure it will get used.
It measures 60" squared.
Thanks Phyllis
Polar fleece on the back is all that is needed.
Quilted with a lovely cloud design
The idea was to make the quilt and finish it off "bagged" style.
Well that didnt happen.
The edges were finished off a bit rough.
So I have neatened it up by adding a blue binding.
All ready to go to the kids..
Any teenager would love to cuddle up in this quilt.

Looks great with the blue binding.
I had wondered about using polar fleece for backing for some of our charity quilts. Obviously it works! Although this is possibly not the best time of year to buy it - should have stocked up at the end of winter sales!
Yes, that one did need a binding. Weekday a wonderful cause! A blanket would be so good for those poor scared children.
I like the blue binding and what a lovely idea to make quilts for these children. Happy Easter Jo.
Wonderful idea to make these quilts for children going through such a traumatic time. The polar fleece backing makes it extra cuddly..the binding you have added finished it off nicely Jo. Where do they get taken to?
A very happy quilt for a special person to cuddle.
I always find it difficult to just bag a flimsy with polar fleece...
