365 Challenge Week 8

February 23, 24, 25, and 26.  Still 3" blocks.

February 27 and 28.  February 28's block, which is part of the central medallion, measures 10.5".  Sadly this block took me around two hours.  I had to do a lot of finagling to get it to fit right.  I'm still working on February 29, which is the remainder of the central medallion.  
Update:  Here is the finished central medallion.  This block just gave me lots of problems.  I sewed part of the 29th parts upside down and had to redo it. (You can see where I messed up!)  Overall I like the look of the block.
  

Quilts for Kids 2016

Charity quilts are such a nice thing.  You can help someone in need and practice new skills or use up fabric you no longer have a use for.  Last year my daughter and I made four quilts to donate to our local NICU.  In 2014 I made a quilt for Quilts for Kids.  Quilts for Kids sends you the fabric, partially cut, and pattern (you pay shipping both ways).  You donate your time, thread, and batting and send back clean, finished quilts within four to six weeks.  Last week I ordered two more kits from Quilts for Kids.  

The kits arrived Monday.  Here's the fabric they sent me:


Yesterday I put both tops together.  I did have to go buy some batting, and am planning to quilt them this week.  I'm looking forward to practicing free motion quilting on these tops!
