The teen girls have completed 11 baby quilts to give to the local Crisis Pregnancy Center. Thanks to all those who gave time or supplies for this ministry.
These quilts are easy to piece and can be completed in about 1.5 hours from start to finish. The squares are 8" and sewn 3 x 3 (yes, it is a big 9 patch) plus a 6" border all around. About 1.5 yard of backing fabric will be enough for the back and self binding. The batting can be one piece or several smaller pieces laid so they overlap. These are tied with colorful yarn.
A note to all of those who say there is nothing for me to do in my community or church - there is always something to do. Find a niche and do it. Don't wait for someone to ask or suggest, you be the leader.
