4 little preemie quilts (18" square)
I finished these today. Two of them use squares left over from other projects. One is a leftover block with borders added and the top left one is made from a fat quarter and a couple strips from the scrap basket. These will go to the local ICU. In addition to using scraps or small pieces of fabric, I also use scraps of fleece as backing, sometimes piecing 2 or 3 pieces together to make a piece large enough to back these little Quiltlets. I have found that the seams of the fleece lay flat very nicely if stitched with a 1/2" seam allowance and lightly pressed or steamed. Typically I put 4 lines of stitching on these, just enough to quilt them together.
