Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict is hosting her annual Hand 2 Help Charity Quilt Challenge. You can read about her challenge here.
I'm going to send this quilt to "Quilts of Compassion." I used Mary Johnson's Quick Strippie pattern found on her website here. This has been a favorite pattern of mine for a few years. A good pattern for a pretty gift or donation quilt for a child.
This is a picture of the back. I used Connecting Threads' "My Little Farm" fabric collection to make the quilt's front and most of the back. Such pretty warm chocolate brown and mint green colors in this quilt.
This is a close up of the back of the quilt. It's quilted with horizontal wavy lines using my domestic sewing machine's quilting foot, a 3.1 stitch length and mint green cotton Aurifil thread. After a go in the washer and dryer it finished at 41.5" x 51.5". I want to thank my friend Sharon for sharing these fabrics with me. I can imagine a little boy loving this soft, sweet quilt.

This worked up so sweet with Mary's pattern - lovely finish.
Lovely colors, Sheila. Love the easy pattern, too. Yes, I can see a little guy lovin' it.

Very nice! Sometimes the simplest patterns turn out really striking.
I'm sure someone will love the quilt. Great colour.
This is a lovely quilt. It will definitely be loved and treasured.
Brown and green is a combination I don't use often so I forget how nicely they work together. Nicely done.
I love the quilt and simple pattern. Very nice fabric colors. I know this quilt will give lots of quilty hugs.
It's such a beautiful quilt, Sheila, and will make some little boy very happy! Thank you so much for participating in and supporting the Hands2Help Charity Quilt Challenge!
A nice snuggly quilt for a little boy. Next year I will make my donated quilt a gender neutral one, too :)
What a fun quilt for a little guy. A great big hug when needed most.
How sweet is that! I love the fabric with the paisley on it.
Great job! It's a lovely quilt! And I love those warm colors too. :)
