Raggedy Ann and Andy Quilts
36 x 46
So far I've finished these two. I don't have a backing right now for the third.
The prompts that made the quilts -
Round One with 4 inch finished Hourglass blocks.
Round Two - In round one I used Four Patches for the cornerstones. I replaced the cornerstones with Double Four Patches.
Round Three - I added a border to two sides of each top and added Puss in the Corner blocks to the top and bottom of those side borders.
Round Four - I added borders with hearts to the top and bottom.
Round Five - I added two color borders made of 2.5 inch width strips to the top and bottom of the quilts.
Round Six - I added 3 x 6 Flying Geese to top and bottom of both quilts.
I quilted both on my sewing machine with swirls.
And sew on...
A little quilting marathon is 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 both foreign and domestic...foster care, refugees, Indian reservations, orphanages, women's recovery centers...you will just have to go read the QBB blog because I can't remember them all.

The current Rotaplast mission is in Cebu City, Philippines. You might like to read Reynaldo's story!

Because of you, two more children will know how a hug from a quilt feels like. Bravo! ;^)
Hugging kids all over the world with your love infused quilts :-)
These are adorable - well done, Cathy!
Precious quilts! And thanks for adding the links. I enjoyed a nice little rabbit trail into blog land this morning with coffee learning about SAHRR. Maybe I'll join the next one. :)
these came out beautifully, Cathy!! Love the addition of the hearts--just so perfect...nice work hugs, Julierose
It's fun to see how the different colorways perk up the panels.
These two look so special. I can just imagine a young girl and boy cuddling up with their new very own quilts.
those are very cut quilts - I used to make raggedy Ann & Andy dolls for my girls many years ago
Those are really adorable! Great job!
These are wonderful and unique!
Two fully finished with a third pieced quilt top is amazing to me! Congratulations on the finishes, I'm sure they will find the right forever homes - and you had perfect backings for them both.
These are adorable quilts. I'm sure the children will love them :)
These are so cute, Cathy! I love that one is all in reds and the other in blues. Fun finished!
Those quilts look so sweet. A lovely quilty hug to a child.
Two fine finishes for SAHRR 2026, and soon...a third! That's lovely that you send off boxes of quilts to comfort and assist others, so kudos to you! Someone will really treasure these Raggedy Ann and Andy quilts!
What cute quilts! I love the red and blue - these will be loved.
I love your Raggedy Ann and Andy quilts! So ambitious you are! They finished so lovely and will make some children happy for sure!
They finished up super sweet! Nice that they're charity quilts.
Both quilts are so fun, and I'm sure will bring happiness to whoever receives them. Three quilts for the SAHRR! Amazing!
