Rainbow Challenge, Green Week

Kelly Girl Update:  With the addition of the green hexagons, I am so happy I started this quilt.  Mine will be a smaller version of Kathy's Quilt, but with hopes of the same impact.

Glittered Nine patch Blocks, made in the 2018 Rainbow Challenge have been used to finish a small quilt, donated to the Upside Downs.    This organization promotes the "Upside" and positive aspects of Down syndrome and uses the quilts in gift baskets for new parents.

Small Finishes

This year, I have made a personal goal to increase the number of charity children's quilts.  In addition to "Quilts For Kids"; I will be making quilts for the Petite Bijoux Project and Upside Downs.  

The mission of the Petite Bijoux Project is to provide parent care packages for preemies at the Terrebonne General Medical Center NICU patients.

"A Star is Born", finishes at 36" X 45" and uses black and white Kona with a dark gray (3 1/2" blocks) to make a popular Buffalo Print.  The addition of the star symbolizes the tiny, but mighty, preemie.

The mission of the Upside Downs, Inc. is to help the Down Syndrome community through new parent support, recreational activities, raising awareness and advocating for a brighter future.  The quilts received by Upside Down are part of care baskets gifted to new parents.   

My free block pattern, "Have Faith", was introduced in 2018 during Sarah's / Confessions of a Fabric Addict, Hands 2 Help Challenge.  Using nine (9) blocks, the Have Faith quilt below, finishes at 36" X 36".
