Quick and Easy Quilts for Japan.

So recently I came across this call to send quilts to Japan.  They need as many quilts as possible as quickly as possible.  I decided to piece together some bare bones, no frills quilts.  Keep in mind, they are still cute, but, with the time constraints they are as simple as possible.

Cut two pieces of fabric the same size.  Lay them right sides together.

Cut batting the same size ans lay on top of the other pieces of fabric.  The batting should be laying on the wrong side of the fabric.

Pin edges together and sew around edges.  I sewed a 3/4" seam allowance.  

Be sure to leave a gap so that the quilt can be turned right side out.

Trim edges of seam allowance.

Turn right side out.  Sew gap closed.  You can do this by hand.  I sewed it closed with my machine due to time constraints.  

Quilts waiting and ready to be tied!!

Hopefully this will make a small difference to someone in need!
