Quilts for Kids

I'm about finished with a queen-sized quilt that I began years ago and because it took so long, I decided that I'm probably finished with the big, difficult projects. I like to piece and quilt, but get so discouraged with the larger projects that for now, I'm just working on smaller quilts (crib-, lap-, wall-sized). I found a program called "Quilts for Kids" which encourages people to take fabric remnants or fabric that might be thrown away and use it to make quilts for children in need.

I finished piecing a quilt top for such a project, (see above) using fabric I had used for a bulletin board at last year's Vacation Bible School...western theme. I'm having fun with this and it is now ready to quilt. I am using simple patterns for easy piecing. It keeps me busy while watching TV (and away from snacking!)
