It's a finish!
Green Cheerios
40 x 60
I made these 10 inch blocks from scraps in 2024 and 2025 as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) project. Last year I looked at the stack of blocks and divided them up into piles for four comfort quilts. I had enough green blocks for one quilt.
This is the first of the four Cheerios quilts to be finished.
I quilted it on my sewing machine with vertical and horizontal lines.
The backing and binding are a light lime green fabric.

A little quilting marathon will be going on here in March . Soon I will have boxes of comfort quilts to send off to two of my favorite charities that provide quilts for kids - Wrap-A-Smile (WAS) and Quilts Beyond Borders. (QBB).
Wrap-A-Smile (WAS) partners with Rotaplast International.
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.
Quilts Beyond Border (QBB) quilts go to many different initiatives...foster care, refugees, Indian reservations, orphanages...you will just have to go read the QBB blog because I can't remember them all.

And sew on...

Cheerful Cheerios! The monochrome palette pulls it all together.
Cheers to Cheerios! Happy quilting marathon to you!
You share so much joy with these donation quilts -- good luck with the mini quilting marathon!
I love this pattern. What size are your pieces? 4 1/2 and 2 1/2? How about the corner pieces?
Thanks for the shout out for WAS and QBB! Both networks have grown immensely by your enthusiasm!
Love the green cheerios quilt, Cathy! Sew bright and cheerful. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings. Have a great weekend.
