5 Small Quilt Tops
A few weeks ago the Wrap-A-Smile coordinator 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

I usually make my quilts for them in the 40 x 50-60 range and have a lot of those ready to send and in the quilting pile but don't have any "smalls". I was tempted to make up some small Strippies but since the theme in my sewing space last month was " loose ends" I decided to see what I could quickly make from all the bits and bobs and loose ends that have come my way.

I will give more details on each quilt in future posts after they are finished.
Wrap-A-Smile partners with Rotaplast International, Inc.
"Rotaplast International, Inc. is committed to helping children and families worldwide by eliminating the burden of cleft lip and/or palate, burn scarring, and other deformities. Working with local professionals, Rotarians, and other organizations, Rotaplast sends multidisciplinary medical teams to provide freely reconstructive surgery, ancillary treatment, and training for the comprehensive care of these children." Wrap-A-Smile provides each child undergoing surgery with a quilt.
So this month I have two themes in my sewing space - "smalls" and "neutrals".

Oh, thanks again for the WAS reminder. I have at least one flimsy that I could contribute........Small and neutral will be a good monthly challenge for you.
What a wonderful cause...anything to do with children is just so great to give to. You are so kind!
