This is a small, 30" quilt I made for our local hospital. They collect little quilts for babies in the neonatal ICU. I've done this technique before, of sewing strips together and making a tube and then slicing and "unsewing" at different points. It goes pretty fast and it's a fun way to use up scraps. Looking at it now I wish I'd arranged the colors a little differently, but it's a scrap quilt and some family might appreciate it.
I get a sense of satisfaction that I've used up some fabric, but the bin of scraps is really overflowing right now. I see a lot more of these little quilts in my future.
I'm so sorry about all the tornado victims this week. There are a lot of quilters rallying to get quilts out to the affected families. It's a small thing, but we all hope that quilts convey our love.

I love this little quilt! What a great cause :)
