Project Linus
I've completed another quilt for Project Linus. I deliberately made this one pretty good-sized and didn't use any childish prints, hoping that some big boy might like it. We keep getting told that the biggest need is for boy quilts, and especially teenage boy quilts. This one was kind of fun, starting with a "wonky square" for the middle and working from that.

Wonderful! Some lucky boy will definitely appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun quilt to put together. And hey....I like your blog background!! Spicy!
ReplyDeleteYour blog looks very fresh and that quilt looks very male and grown upish. Perfect for a teenage boy. Love the pattern.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Linda! I hope to again do Project Linus and I will try to remember the need for Big Boy quilts. Those fufu little girl quilts are so easy to do but you did a great job on your boy one! Like the new blog look as well!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be making some quilts for Victoria's Quilts and will keep that in mind about doing some for guys.
