Red and Yellow Cheerios Finished

It's a finish!

Cheerios

40 x 40

I made Cheerios from scraps in 2024 and part of 2025 as one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) projects. In late 2025 I sorted the blocks into 3 piles for comfort quilts - 2 small ones and one larger one. I assembled this top back in November 2025. 

I quilted it on my sewing machine with horizontal and vertical lines.

The back and binding.

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.

It's been a stressful few days here. John has been ill and has a swollen gland. Got him into the doc and then waited all day for the antibiotic. Drove 1/2 hr into pharmacy when it was almost dark and I hate to drive in the dark.   Well, actually, I hate to drive. Period. Plus his G-tube fell out this week and since we always keep one on hand and the surgeon showed me how to replace it that's what I did. I think this is the third time I've had to do that and it's not quite as stressful as the first time; however, I'm really not nurse material. 

But it has also been a few days full of packages of bits and pieces of this and that from Katie Z and Wanda D.   Oh joy!

And the last few days we have received some much needed rain but we could use more.
