I am declaring 2012 as My Year to Give!
Each month I will post a free pattern which everyone can use to make charity quilts. During that month I personally will try to make at least ONE quilt using that pattern for one of the charities that I have on my personal charity list. At the end of the month/beginning of the next month, I will report on my progress.

Everyone is encouraged to join me if they wish to help those in need. Below is a small logo which you may post on your blog or Facebook page to show the www that you have dedicated the year to giving. Copy and paste the code where you want it to show.

I have the whole year of special projects lined up, please check back!
The newest one will always be on top, so scroll down to see what I've finished.


     
In February I'll be making Jacobs Ladder quilts because it is my little friend Jake's birthday. (Happy Birthday Jake!)

For Jacob's Ladder I will just be making blocks using all the same background, most likely a white-on-white. Each block will be made with the same color and/or fabric, and all of the colors and/or fabrics will be of the same value, so they sort of coordinate. I'm going to try to use up all stash on these blocks and am pretty sure I will have more than enough to make the quilts I need.

My first Jacobs Ladder quilt shown here was made using over dyed dark colors and a tan print. I have another one in the works, made using dark green scraps and a white-on-white.

In January I made three new Hearts Quilts using the Scrappy Hearts pattern.
Those three plus my original sample will be donated to
Bob's Blankie Brigade and Margaret’s Hope Chest
