Quilted Hug

I just finished a Quilted Hug for my Quilt Guild's service project. 

The fabric was a prequilted  piece that I had bought for some project that I now can't remember.  But it has found a good home as a Quilted Hug.  I thought the placket would be hard to make, but it wasn't bad at all.

These are going to a local nursing home and I hope this keeps someone warm and cozy.

The Quilted Hug Project has a Facebook page here.  You can find the free pattern here.  Also a very helpful YouTube video here.  Hope you decide to try to make one.  

Secret Project

 My secret project is complete and has been received by the person I made it for!

A Quilted Hug!  I "made" the outside layer of fabric from two inch squares.  Two yards by about 44 inches.

The lining fabric

The pattern calls for a hook and loop closure but I didn't have any and I was trying to use stash.  So I made a loop and covered a button for the closure.  (I bought a bunch of the covered buttons when the  Hancock Fabrics near me went out of business.)

The Quilted Hug Project has a Facebook page here.  And you can find a free pattern here.  Also a very helpful YouTube video here.  The Quilt Guild I belong to is making these for some nursing homes in the area as a community project.
