My husband does the quilting on them with our professional long arm machine in between his customers' quilts. I try to make some bigger sizes for teen-agers, too, although most of them are smaller sizes. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't be doing these quilts!

I put it in a tote bag that I buy and put pockets on with a book. I would love to donate to other places as long as I could still keep up with the chemo quilts. I make each quilt special and do quilt it, not tie it as I believe everyone needs one work of art (not perfect one) in their life especially to comfort. If I could just quilt faster!Linda Swanekamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291121742617818637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-24568739760384112352014-01-31T07:38:08.718-06:002014-01-31T07:38:08.718-06:00That Hawaiian quilt is beautiful hanging on the li...That Hawaiian quilt is beautiful hanging on the line in the sun like that.

I've given blocks to Alycia's QOV, to a block gathering for Hurricane Sandy victims, to H2H, to Project Linus, etc. Usually I try to give to any cause I come across, but this year all my fabric is packed up except for the two family projects I'm working on now. (Hopefully the house sells soon and we can move and get back to regular life.)<br />I love the running account of your quilts and where they go - who they help. I especially love that they are not specifically for members of your church. To my mind, that is more Christian - to extend to anyone in need.<br />HugsTerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08927552672720816359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-52413571123286175162014-01-30T13:36:13.686-06:002014-01-30T13:36:13.686-06:00Good causes for H2H.

I guess it is great for some people. Personally I like to make things and I like to try and make a difference. So I make what I want when I want and hold on to it til I see a drive or requests for quilts for a charity that pulls at my heartstrings and I send it in and help. :) 100 quilts for kids is something I always know I can hold them for if nothing else pops up. But doing the whole process through a set timeline for a drive is not something I would do unless I had time, but it is a great idea for those that have the time!

I also donate quilts to other organizations and let others know about the many that are out there. I don't participate in challenges per se, but I would if I had the time. I don't have a favorite pattern, I make each quilt different from the one before. Thank you for sharing this gorgeous quilt, the story about your friend.

The Hawaiian prints draw me in; I was lucky and lived on Oahu for a year in my twenties. I have loved their fabric ever since and have many sarongs of various colors and prints. Your two interpretations of the pattern are both stunning.Lynda Halliger Otvos (Lynda M O)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08938791116446859160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-71790718432773628172014-01-29T22:48:56.990-06:002014-01-29T22:48:56.990-06:00This is a super pattern and there were a lot of lo...This is a super pattern and there were a lot of lovely quilts created and donated using it. Jelly roll race quilts go fast - boxy squares - there are a lot quick pre-cut quilt tutorials and You-Tube quilts on Missouri Quilt Co. I love Hands2Help and 100 Quilts for Kids and last year sent some things on to a quild to use for their charity work - as well as my own quild. Oh, yes and the doll quilts for Get Your Mrs Claus On.
