She tried something new on the back, which I really like - she used fleece to work as the batting/backing in one step. So, she the quilt has two layers - top and a piece of pill-free fleece. How clever is that? It's super soft, and I love the definition you get with the stitching on the back. Bet the kiddies will love it.
So far, I have three quilts to send to the charity - this one, my Thomas quilt, and one I received from Colleen - check out the Flickr group to see pics of her lovely donation! My goal is to send at least 20.
It's certainly not too late to join our Quilt Challenge - you have until December 1st to complete a crib size quilt. Please email me if you want to join the challenge, and I'll send you all the details.

I have completed four satin-edge blankets so far for you and have the fixin's for two more. My goal is to have them in the mail to you before Thanksgiving. I don't want to mail them too early and you have to find a place to store them.
Fleece as batting and backing. That's a great idea! Did she do a traditional binding? If not, how did she finish the edges?
I like the idea of that fleece as batting and backing! Excellent!
That quilt is so adorable! When I heard you talk about this project on your podcast I was really moved by what this charity is trying to accomplish. I blogged about Project Night Night soon after to see if I could help spread the word.
My blogmate and I were so inspired by the idea of crafting for those in need, we have organized a charity sewing event in November at a local fabric store. Thanks for inspiring us!

Thanks so much, all! So excited by this.
The stitches really do pop on the fleece.
