Rag Baby Quilts

In a craft swap titled "Random Act of Kindness" my friend Jenine made me these two quilts.  One is for me to keep and one is for me to give away as a random act of kindness.  She wanted to do something that tied into my having a baby and a baby quilt was the perfect idea.  

For anyone who knows me, I have a HUGE obsession with homemade quilts.  I LOVE THEM!  Seriously, nothing brings me more happiness in the world than receiving a quilt that someone took hours to create.  It shows me just how much they care an how thoughtful they are.  And seeing as how it's not my strong point (sewing), I certainly LOVE to receive them!  

I decided to keep the brown and blue polk a dot quilt as (unknowingly to Jenine) matches my baby bedding perfectly!  And some lucky person (unknown yet) will receive the green and yellow.  

This type of quilt is called a Rag Quilt and can be  be used with any kind of fabric.  

A great tutorial can be found HERE if you are interested in making one too.
