These quilts were made from kits from the Downey Touch of Comfort program in partnership with Quilts For Kids. I'm a little abashed because I've had these kits since 2013 and I can't believe it's taken me this long to get them finished.
In 2010, I made three quilts from requested kits and thought I had made my final contribution. I honestly do not remember requesting any more kits but in October 2019 I discovered not 2 but 3 kits! Two had a packing slip dated 2013 with my name. The third kit had a slip from 2015 with DD's name.
This 4-patch pattern is so simple and easy to make. They measure 36" x 42" and are a perfect size for a small child.

These are the first quilts I've finished this year. They are also my first quilts of the new decade. So far 2020 has been a turbulent year, starting with a pandemic and national emergency, then add to that riots and public outcry over police brutality, and uncertainty over the upcoming election. We are in a state of anxiety but hopeful that it will come to pass and that we will survive.
In the meantime, I quilt because it makes me happy and it comforts me. And as I quilt I pray for the safety and well-being of my loved ones.
