I got around to sewing the four-patch fun blocks into a quilt. 

I popped over to my local quilt shop to pick the perfect border and some backing fabric. I also grabbed some of their marked down remnants and a few yards of that fun green for charity quilt backing. 

In case you missed it, here is a link to Bonnie's free pattern for Four Patch Fun so you can make your own blocks.

Quilts for Kids: February

On Saturday I dropped off 13 quilts with Annapolis Quilts for Kids. I also handed over and 5 tops I pieced for backing. 

I picked up another 13 tops with backing ready for quilting. 

I also grabbed a handful of fabrics to add to the pile for making more quilt tops. Most of this is already cut into two quilts that I'm piecing when I have time.
