Yes! This was totally my idea. I had a little trouble working with the different textures of hair (each little girl's hair of made of a different texture--corduroy, fleece, yarn, etc.--and sewing the eyelet fabric (which was used on the butterfly and tended to fray a lot) was tricky, but otherwise it came out well.
Cutting our scraps into 4" blocks and sewing them together, and tying them. For donation to a fire dept for kids who are displaced after a fire.
Shannon's ideas for next projects (in quotes); with Pam's comments.
"A quilt of long, strips of fabric sewn together." A log cabin maybe?
"One of those crazy (but not) quilt blocks. We could design one together" next time we have lunch. "And make the blocks the same size" 12 inches maybe? "and with the same main fabric" maybe that bright red/magenta floral fabric? "and then we could switch off." If we each do 30 blocks we would end up with a 60 x 72 inch quilt.
"Needles-n-Pins, a quilt store in Frederick, accepts quilts for kids. They donate them to the local fire dept. for when kids are the victims of fires and lose their homes." Pam will do more research.
"Cutting our scraps into 4" blocks and sewing them together, and tying them and then we could either donate them to" Needles-n-Pins!! see above.

This is ADORABLE! I love the little girl peeking out of the bottom of the quilt. Was that your idea?
