Here's the back of a baby boy quilt.

Here's the back of a baby girl quilt.

Here are a couple baby boy quilts.

Here's one of the baby girl quilts.

Here's the top of the twin size quilt.

Here's the back.  We used all the same green flannel for the center, then added the mixed dark flannels around for a nice border.

Please excuse the clutter in the background.  This is my sewing/guest room.  The pile in the corner is Humanitarian donations that I need to figure out what to do with.

Here's a close-up of some of the blocks.

Stone Soup Quilt Project

For our next Humanitarian project, I've come up with the Stone Soup Quilt Project.  It's a combination of my Denim Stars, Fun-and-done, and a rag quilt.  Here's a Wikipedia link if you don't know the Stone Soup story.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_soup.  Basically, a community brings together scraps of food, and makes a really great soup that is shared with the whole community.

So, this quilt is done with scraps that have been donated.  I give each participant squares of flannel, regular cotton fabrics, and batting squares (all pre-cut into squares).  They each take a row or two home to sew. When the rows are complete, we will get together and sew the rows into a quilt. 

Start with 6" squares of flannel, 4 3/4" squares of regular cotton fabrics, and 4 3/4" squares of thin cotton or cotton/poly batting. 

Here are some sizes you may want to use:

Baby (35" X 45") 7 squares X 9 squares = 63 squares
Throw (55" X 70") 11 squares X 14 squares = 154 squares
Twin (70" X 85")  14 squares X 17 squares = 238 squares
Queen (90" X 105") 18 squares X 21 squares = 378 squares

Stone Soup #2

                                                                                         Sew the flannel squares together into rows, and press the seams open.  Place a piece of batting behind the regular fabric square, and center it between the flannel flaps.  There should be about 1/8" extra on each side, and make sure it is centered from top to bottom.

Stone Soup Quilt #3

Pin the flannel flaps down and sew the raw edges down with a zig-zag stitch.  It is very helpful to us a walking foot, if you have one.  The zig-zag stitch should be a little wider than medium stitch width, and a little closer than medium stitch length. 

Stone Soup #4

Then sew the rows together, matching seams, and having the flannel with right-sides together.  Here's a section of the quilt with 4 rows sewn together.  The row on the right side has been attached, but hasn't been zig-zagged down yet.
