100 Quilts for Kids is an annual charity quilt drive co-hosted by Katie Blakesley of Swim, Bike, Quilt and the DC Modern Quilt Guild


The idea is simple: 
Make a quilt or 2. Donate it to a child in need, locally if you can.

Strip piecing with scrap fabric makes a quick -- and impressive -- quilt.


Enjoy a blog hop that runs from July 2-September 25, 2012, complete with inspiration and mini prizes. 

Join in on a 100 Quilts for Kids Quilt Along (Kick-off post on July 15 at Swim, Bike, Quilt)


Have a chance to win great prizes from sponsors, including Moda, Fat Quarter Shop, Westwood Acres, Rowan , Free Spirit, and Ty Pennington Impressions, among others that will shortly be announced.

Spread the word to family and friends!

Smile, knowing you used your skills for good.

Hi Dana - Do you have a tutorial on that modern scrappy strip quilt? I mean I get the general gist, but you may have an easier method than I could come up with myself.

Thanks! I love it!
