Beautiful. I like the kit fabrics so much...really quality fabric. Your stash quilt in the dark blues is gorgeous, too. Good job.

Judithb: I just finished one in the same pinks as your quilt. Yours is lovely. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! What great quilts.

I have made my first quilt for kids. I told the lady at the quilt store the kind of batting I wanted, but I'm afraid it's too 'fat'. Should I send it anyway? I will be sure to get some lower loft for the next one I'm doing. Also, I noticed they ask you to wash the quilts with a 'color catcher'. Where can you buy that?

You should be able to find the "color catchers" at most stores that carry laundry detergent. I buy mine at the Navy commissary but have seen them is most of the grocery stores. Walmart will probably have it too.

I used my first one last week. Boy they really work! I used it on one of the bright colored quilts. Sure glad I found out about them on this forum! Thanks!!

I received 2 more kits this week. I started one of them tonight and one of the WOF strips is missing. poo. There wasn't enough selvage to identify it either. Has anyone else had this happen? I have lots of material but it won't match. Maybe a small child won't notice!

What a shame that the kit was short. Do you have anything that would coordinate rather than exact match? Maybe you could do 2 strips of what they gave you and 2 strips of something else. Or mix up and make it scrappy? Let us know how you resolve it! Good luck!

Very cool!

I got one kit that was missing one of the big squares. I ended up making 4 patches out of scraps left over from the 4 patches I made from the kit so the bottom row on one of the quilts has all 4 patch blocks instead of 4 patch/big square staggered across the row....does that make sense? I'm sure whatever you choose to do to finish your quilt will be fine. I like the idea of using 2 sashings of one fabric and the other 2 sides with different sashings.
