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.

Quinn Has Arrived

Linda — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 16:48:50 GMT

I made this when my grandson Quinn was born. Pattern came from Quilter's World (Oct. 2003), but it was a Halloween wall hanging. I thought it was so cute. So I added some borders, didn't use Halloween fabrics, and put Quinn's birth announcement in the moon. It was a lot of cutting and machine applique, but that is my thing. It is machine quilted with stars. My daughter-in-law loved it!

Fun Quilts for Kids (Summer 2007) pattern that was featured in the magazine with pirate fabric. However, grandson Noel likes Spiderman. It has a lot of rotary cut pieces that are chain pieced. The quilt is machine quilted. And Noel loves his quilt!

Mila's Fishes and Loaves

Linda — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 15:04:14 GMT

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.
