In January I joined the Charlotte chapter of the Modern Quilter's Guild. Their charity project for 2020 is quilts for the kids who get meals from Friendship Trays.
Friendship Trays delivers food to elderly or infirm individuals who can't obtain or
prepare their own meals (similar to meals on wheels but without an age
limit). Friendship Trays includes delivery to families and it is
estimated that at any given time, about 150 children ages 2-5 in the
Charlotte metro are among the recipients.
Of course kids' quilts are my favorite thing to make! I have lots of I Spy squares and for this one, I went with a theme. I picked out 48 I Spy squares with any kid of car/truck/vehicle on them and sewed them together randomly as a leader and ender project.

I really wanted a center with some truck noises. I used my Accuquilt alphabet die for the letters. Beep Beep is in Kona Storm and Vroom Vroom is in Kona Lagoon. The background and binding are Kona Tan.
The back is a fun Hot Wheels print that my mom gave me years ago. It's perfect for this quilt! This is finish 17 for the year as I attempt to complete 52 projects in 2020.
What a cute quilt - how big is it? The Hot Wheels fabric is perfect for the back. This quilt will bring a smile to someone's face and keep them warm and cozy.
