Crib Quilt for Charity

Like all quilters, I have accumulated a few UFOs (unfinished objects). When I first started quilting, I worked on a sampler quilt using pink and blue fabrics. I only completed a few of the blocks and have long since lost the sampler quilt pattern. I moved and longer wanted a quilt in these colors for my bedroom. So what to do with the sampler blocks?

After seeing my Birds in the Air block, a friend suggested finishing it as a crib quilt and donating it to our local Women's shelter. Great suggestion!

I used MyWebQuilter.com to create a pattern for this little quilt.

This is a picture of the actual quilt.

MyWebQuilter.com has a new quilt pattern gallery. You may copy quilts from the gallery to access the pattern, learn how to use MyWebQuilter.com and/or use gallery quilts as a starting point for your own quilt design.

I put this little quilt in the gallery. Check it out!

Happy Quilting.

You may be limited by how much fabric you have. The MyWebQuilter.com Quilt Border Calculator is free and can help you decide what size borders to add to your quilt. Enter the size of your current quilt and some border sizes you are considering. Click calculate to get quilt dimensions and fabric requirements. Change the border sizes and recalculate as often as you want.

Ribbon Quilt Block

I want to make a donation quilt for breast cancer awareness and was looking for a ribbon quilt block. I wanted a traditional pieced quilt block pattern (not paper pieced) for the ribbon block and couldn't find one. So I designed one. This is a picture of my sample block. (I was just testing the pattern using scraps. I plan to buy new fabric for the donation quilt.) The Ribbon quilt block pattern is available here . I think I will make a quilt combining the Ribbon quilt block with an Irish Chain Quilt Block. Here is a picture from www.MyWebQuilter.com of the quilt pattern I am considering.

New Quilt Sash Calculator

I added a new calculator to MyWebQuilter.com to quickly calculate quilt sash fabric requirements. Just enter the number of columns, rows, block size and sash width. Additional options include calculations in inches or CM and including a border the same size as the sash. Click on Calculate to get your sash fabric requirements, quilt dimensions and instructions. All the MyWebQuilter calculators are easy to use on your mobile phone!
