Bricks and Stones
Two quilts 36 x 40
Someone gave me a big bag of the brick and stone units several years ago. I previously made and donated a larger quilt made with them.
There was a problem with some of the units - most of the "stones" were 4.5 inch squares; however several of them were 4 x4.5 rectangles.
I added a 1 x 4.5 inch rectangle to those that were short. I then put the units together into two small quilts.
I quilted them simply with lines.
The backs...
...feature some Llamas and some Kitties.
Now they are ready for donation!
A few weeks ago the Wrap-A-Smile coordinator ( Ann) sent out a plea for 40-50 "smalls":
"Hope y’all can help! I’m still on the outlook for even more very small, very light-weight children’s quilts for WAS. During the past year I have received an amazing number of gorgeous, beautiful quilts but the majority have been larger and heavier. Rotaplast treats a variety of ages and they need me to pack a mix of sizes. Plus they have weight restrictions on the supply boxes that go by air for the medical missions.
I would love to receive 40-50 “smalls” (36 x 45-ish) by the end of the year. "...Ann
