I am what you might call a quilt pusher. I pick up kits from Annapolis Quilts for Kids and push them on my friends. The hope is that they will be as excited about making quilts for kids as I am.

Sometimes this works and I get back a quilt top ready to be loaded and quilted. Since I love quilting, this works out for just about everyone. (Everyone? Yes. Me, the eager quilter that will sew anything, Quilts for Kids and Superior Threads. That's just about everyone.)
I sent this one off as a kit in a gallon plastic bag. I got back a playful top.

I spent entirely too much time trying to figure out how to quilt this one. Ultimately, I put bubbles in the outer border, some wavy lines in the inner border and this big flower design over the face of the quilt. I wanted the butterflies to have somewhere to land.
My goal for this year? Find a sewing friend that likes to finish up binding. Then I will be unstoppable!
Hey Becca, I would love to help with the binding. Crazily enough it's my favorite step in quilting.
