Companion Quilts

Companion Quilts
A little bit about these quilts!  With each quilt that I make, there is always left over pieces, leftover fabric, or leftover scraps. Most scraps went into my scrap bag and just sat there.  It almost saddened me that those beautiful leftover fabrics that I love, weren't going to be used.  There was not enough to make another quilt, and most were already cut, so it would be unlikely that they would be used for a different project.  The idea came to me to start making Companion Quilts - small, NICU or PICU quilts, perfect for a tiny little baby as a blanket, a lovey, a light block over their incubator, or even as a baby doll quilt.  These Companion Quilts are made from the same fabric as its matching large size quilt and perhaps even in the same pattern.  Thus Companion Quilts was born!  It is the best of both worlds - leftover pieces get used and some lucky baby and family will hopefully receive a blanket that will bring a smile to their faces during such a difficult time!  Each Companion Quilt is made with love, knowing that these small little leftover pieces that otherwise would sit in a pile, instead are sewn together to help keep a baby warm and feel loved.  That makes my heart smile!
