Then she feather stitched along the stitched edge. It was beautiful. You could do it easily with a machine stitch too.MTN MAMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03442863105402068598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051822127346756240.post-18810029180352579752012-07-03T07:34:51.818-07:002012-07-03T07:34:51.818-07:00Thank you, Carol!

Once I am in Africa, if I see that there is a big need for more baby quilts, I will ask for help then, and send them a different way. This is just something fun that I wanted to do along with my trip. Like the name of this blog, quilts are for giving : )elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550184064026362510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051822127346756240.post-19516491521671121352012-07-03T05:50:52.121-07:002012-07-03T05:50:52.121-07:00All such sweet quilts.

Don't worry about "rules." Just make the quilts with love, and they'll be cherished.Carol E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02741550863747328734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051822127346756240.post-60348279446599502022012-07-01T15:36:28.033-07:002012-07-01T15:36:28.033-07:00Love these quilts....especially the FIRST one!Love these quilts....especially the FIRST one!bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06968732077743225057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051822127346756240.post-20774199232163984922012-07-01T10:06:38.660-07:002012-07-01T10:06:38.660-07:00I think no binding is the way to go for kids quilt...I think no binding is the way to go for kids quilts that are going to be really used. I have done that for years for both Charity and Gifts. I just do an extra trip around the outer edge with the machine about a half inch in to make me feel more secure.tink's momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00446955920191946432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051822127346756240.post-74122531592292218302012-07-01T09:17:27.691-07:002012-07-01T09:17:27.691-07:00What a wonderful and generous idea!!

The kids used them everyday and I washed them every week. They held up beautifully for years and the lack of binding was not a problem. Quilts for Kids actually mentions in their directions that they would prefer not to have binding on the quilts donated to them. <br />The quilts are lovely and I am sure they will be well used.KatieQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402499142649295188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051822127346756240.post-32856799908593577622012-07-01T07:00:29.525-07:002012-07-01T07:00:29.525-07:00All sweet quilts and will be well received.

Anyways I actually like the first one, because of the rectangles. I love simple quilts & the colors are lovely .Marissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16689294590517866093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051822127346756240.post-23666653839989227542012-07-01T04:52:43.876-07:002012-07-01T04:52:43.876-07:00I like all the quilts.
