Pixie Dust baby quilt

 I sewed with a friend for an afternoon and finished this little baby quilt measuring 36 inches square. I used up large scraps from Victoria's Pixie Dust gather she held last year. Last fall I won a box of her scraps and these are among the last significant pieces in it. I started by making large four patches and then rotating them to come up with this simple design. There's lots of room to practise my machine quilting. When it's done, this baby quilt will warm a preemie at my local children's hospital.

After my amazing visit to our Salem, Oregon preemie ward last year, I cannot say enough about how much donated quilts add to the little isolettes. And if you could hear what the new parents said to me about how much they appreciated receiving them during challenging times,you'd know what a very wonderful thing you are giving and doing. This certainly looks like pixie dust and I know it will touch some family's heart....a little thing in a big way!
