Recently, I saw a Downy commercial that talked about the impact homemade quilts have on sick children in hospitals. They partnered with a group called Quilts for Kids, who distribute quilts to children in participating hospitals.

When I saw the commercial I had to jump on board, so I went to QuiltsforKids.org and requested a free quilt kit!

Here it is! This Quilt Kit includes the fabric and instructions to create a beautiful block quilt for a beautiful child in need. I cannot wait to get mine put together and show you all my creation!

As a participant, I get to name my quilt. As you can see, some of the fabric has owls on it, so I thought I would do a little play on words with that. Do you all have any suggestions for what I should name it?

Just FYI, I am not being compensated for this post. I just wanted to share a great cause with all of my fellow quilter and crafters out there. If you’re interested in creating a quilt for a participating hospital, head over to the Quilts for Kids website or Downy’s website for more information.

You can request a quilt kit to be sent to you or you can make a quilt from your own fabric, it’s up to you!

If you’re not handy with the sewing machine, they also accept donations, so consider giving, if you can!

I can’t wait to share with you the finished results!
