I chose to make two quilts - Sea Salt and Rainbow Kiss.
Sea Salt is a baby sized version based on my Masala Box pattern. I picked out bright blues and greens from the Island Batik Basics (these are available all year round) and paired them with Island Batik solid white background.

Quilted using my walking foot, this cute baby quilt came together in just one weekend. The binding is Island Batik Solid Light Grey.

| Baby ready! |
Sea Salt finished at 36" square and will join other quilts (from my quilt guild) going to the Inova Fair Oaks Hospital's Premie Graduation. These quilts accompany the premie babies when they "graduate" from NICU to go home.

I will be handing Sea Salt over to Jeanne in my quilt guild who takes them to the Fair Oaks Hospital.
I made Rainbow Kiss for GSAFE. GSAFE increases the capacity of LGBTQ youth and students, educational staff, and families to create school environments where all LGBTQ youth and students thrive.

Using Fabrics from Island Batiks Blenders (available all year round), I pieced the strips in a rainbow-ish order.

Then I cross cut the strip set into strips and arranged and rearranged them till I was happy with it.

I quilted, following the seams with my walking foot. The binding is Sprinkles (Island Batik Neutral). Rainbow Kiss finished at 42" by 46" and will join other quilts in Wisconsin for the annual GSAFE auction later this year.
Here they are both - Sea Salt and Rainbow Kiss, my contribution to the Accuquilt's Cover the World event.

| Off we go! |
I will be sharing with all my favorite linky parties. See full list on the sidebar.
