A while ago I felt like I really wanted to do something with my sewing to help someone. I brainstormed a couple of ideas (which I hope come to fruition) but before I could do any of them, I got an email from Kimbo from A Girl and a Glue Gun inviting me to join in her campaign for Lukes Loves and Project Linus. What is Luke’s Loves? Its a program that provides handmade blankets to children in need.
So today I have a blanket tutorial for you for a ragged appliqué quilt that turned out cute and is cuddly to boot. And in case you’re worried–don’t be. I am FAR from a quilter, but the beauty of this quilt is that its super forgiving–you don’t have to have perfect lines or anything for it to turn out super cute.
So let’s get started. You’ll need:
Fabric A:
Fabric B:
Fabric C:
Fabric D:
Fabric E:
I love how snuggly this blanket is.
Would you like to join in? Handmade blankets are always needed, and if you want to use your talent to help others, this is a wonderful way to do it. Project Linus asks for New, Handmade, Washable blankets and afghans for children ages 0-18 (FAQs on the website!)
There are chapters all over if you want to donate locally (http://www.projectlinus.org/volunteer/) or you can send blankets here:
