Today I delivered two quilts to Stanislaus Family Justice Center, a local agency that helps people who have been abused. Each child who comes through gets to choose a quilt to keep.
Improv Quilt
Inspired by a color challenge found at The Color Throwdown blog of navy, pale plum and green.

Did a little straight line machine quilting. I usually tie quilts, but I decided to do some machine quilting, after taking the online class Creative Quilting with Your Walking Foot at Craftsy.com. It's not perfect but some child will love the quilt, anyway. The quilt is quite small, also, but I have faith that it will be just right for someone.
Superman Remixed
Turning Twenty style, made largely of leftovers from two previous Superman quilts.
All from stash and scraps.

The Superman print with smaller figures is from a quilt I made for my grown son Robbie, a Superman fan since childhood. The print with larger motifs is from a quilt I made for friend Andy D., also a Superman fan.
This is the first Superman quilt, made for my son Robbie in October 2010.
This is the second quilt, made for friend Andy D. in January 2013.
I hope that the Improv Quilt and Superman Remixed will bring a bit of cheer and comfort to the children who choose them.
