My quilt guild creates quilts for teddy bears and other stuffed animals for various charities. I was given the 4 stuffed animals and used various scraps to create their quilts.
A teddy and a chance to play with 1/2 square triangles – I typically avoid triangles but I’m trying to practice using them more.
I couldn’t resist writing bunny phrased for the little yellow rabbit.
The bear with the tie reminds me of a dad so I added the name of one of my favorite book when I was a kid and a little picture of a boy with his play car.
I had a few extra 1/2 square triangles and randomly started piecing extra fabrics to create a quilt for the teddy whose feet say ‘hug me.’
These quilts are fun to make and allow me to try techniques on a small scale and the kids who receive them don’t mind if everything doesn’t quite line up.
What an awesome idea! I may have to propose this to my guild as well, if you don’t mind. Love the quilt for the little bear with the tie, but all are quite cute!
