A few days ago I was reading Holly's blog, Fabric Mom and she shared a link to Quilts for Kids, Sponsored by Downy. When you visit this site, you can volunteer to assemble and quilt a Comfort quilt.
I submitted my name and this is the packet I received in the mail.
Included in the packet is the pattern, label, fabric squares, strips for the 4 patch, border, backing and binding. I'm thinking I might use the b&w fabric for an inner border than add something from the stash as the binding.
What fun! A heart quilt for a little girl!
Thank Goodness it is a 4 patch and not a Pinwheel...lol I have a few of the rows together so far. A couple more hours and it will be ready to quilt. I need to supply the batting but I have a few pieces here that I think will work.
I have white thread on the long arm already and I can see *clouds* on this quilt. DH raised up the table to long arm is on so I'm anxious to try it out!

Hurray for 4 patches~I love them, too :) a pat2
That is really cute! No daydreaming while you're quilting the clouds.
BTW, how do you like your new batting?
Hi Pat, what a lovely quilt. I'm so glad to know you joined the Quilts 4 Kids as volunteer. Here in Brazil I run Love Quilts It is so good when we can do something for others who are in need of a smile to go on. May God bless you.
I made a few Quilts 4 Kids before Christmas this year-they are fun and I was amazed at the beautiful fabric in them--and everything cut out!! I wasn't expecting that! I need to take a day and make another one and send in.
Very pretty. Love the fabrics they sent you. Thanks for the shout out, you are a peach! I finished my top. Just gotta quilt it and take a picture.
So cute - thanks for sharing the Downy campaign; will check and register as well if they still need quilters!
I had just heard about this project I think on the Quilter's Online Resource group. Glad this is working out for you all kitted up. Did you get to pick which one you wanted to make?
