Preemie Quilts

Reap What You Sew is a quilt group in Phoenix, AZ that makes quilts all year and distributes mostly to children's charities. These are some of the preemie quilts I made with donated materials. People are always giving me materials because they know I quilt for charity. I'm also known as the "queen of scraps" at RWYS.

Scrappy Oopsie Daisy

This is an excellent pattern for using up scraps. I hand quilted this quilt. If I ever make it again, I will machine quilt. My fingers are still healing! I must say, however, I love the quilt!

Ohio Star Wall Hanging

Another Fons and Porter pattern called Ohio Star. This one I made for my best friend while I stayed at her home for a summer before moving back from Arizona. We matched the fabrics to the furniture in her family room. It is machine pieced, but I hand quilted. That summer I got my friend hooked on quilting. I created a monster!!!

Mila's Fishes and Loaves

This pattern is known as Fishes and Loaves (also as 2-1/2 x 4-1/2). It a great pattern for using up scraps. It's one of my favorites for charity quilts. For this particular quilt I had four fabrics and just couldn't think of of another quilt pattern to use. Besides I needed to make it quick. And there are so many ways you can lay out the blocks. Mila is one of my youngest grand-daughters and is a little cutie.
