Quilts For Kids - Finished!

I just finished my two Quilts for Kids and you can see them here (I
hope): http://www.flickr.com/photos/10111779@N02/?saved=1

I put these in Flickr instead of Webshots, so you won't have to put up
with the ads!

The one with the puppy fabric was the kit QFK sent me. The Trip Around
The World was made from my stash. I think I'm going to have to replenish
my marbles collection - I used most of it up in this one.

Those are really nice. Like Polly, you just wayyyy extended the length
of your arms!
You can hug a child from miles away.

Oh those are darling. I just shipped out my first one yesterday to
them. You did a terrific job with both! One thing I noticed was that
your QFK's fabric had a lot of black in it. Mine did too, black
fabric with race cars on it. When I washed it, thank heavens I threw
in a color catcher as the black ran terribly. Did you notice that
with your fabric also? Donna

How precious. Way to go, Louise. I enjoyed seeing your choice for
quilting. Mine will never see that level. Wow! Polly

Aren't they lovely! Bright and cheerful - just what's needed.

You know I would never have thought that alternating a four patch with a
plain square would make such an effective pattern. Our quilt group is
just discussing fairly simple patterns for our next group quilt and I
will put this forward.

Mine was black with bright color cats. Haven't washed yet, working on
the binding.

The black in mine didn't run, nor did the red (which I've had more
problems with in the past!). My biggest problem was that I did the
binding as they asked - brought the back around to the front and
zig-zagged it down. I didn't use cotton thread, and when I tossed it in
the wash, the fabric shrunk, but the thread didn't! What was originally
a nice, flat quit, ended up with somewhat wavy borders!

Thanks, Polly! As for the quilting, I have the advantage of being able
to use rulers when I quilt, and that helps a lot.

I thought it was a really good choice of pattern for this project - easy
for a beginner who wants to get involved. I wouldn't have thought of
doing it myself, but I think it's a good pattern for the next time I
need a quick turnaround quilt.
