My last post was about the charity organization "Quilts for Kids" and how I was going to make a quilt for this worthwhile group. I went and donated a few dollars and noticed how you could assemble a top with fabrics donated by various shops/regular folks/fabric companies, so I signed up for that too. Now, I'm thinking to myself "did you bite off more than you can chew right now?" but I figured I'd manage even if it meant not sleeping :) I think I did that Wednesday night and would you believe I got the kit to do the assembly already? Those people work fast!
The kit comes with a pattern and all the parts already cut, all you have to do is assemble.
Here's a picture of the center of the top that I sewed together this afternoon. I got a kit for a boy with race cars on black.... I'm getting ready to add a thin lime green border around this and then a wider black border with race car flags on it!!! This is just a sneak peek...the next picture will be the finished product.

Some young boy will love this. How nice of you to donate your time and talent to complete it!
I just started on my Quilts for Kids quilt today! It's dogs and paw prints! :0)
Looks great so far Peg!!!
Wonderful work. I also requested a kit and mine is very, very similar to yours. Funny how things like that happen.
Very nice, Peg.......this will be a real hit with some boy when he gets it.
Just ordered my kit today from "Quilts for Kids". Love yours, it will make some little child very happy. BettyLou
