I was really thrilled with the fabric: neon colored prints on black backgrounds. The pattern provided was a four-patch. Jazzy diagonal stripes make a border around the four patch panels. Very fun. It took me an afternoon and an evening to finish the whole quilt, including machine quilting. I am not usually a machine quilter. I much prefer slow, but controlled, hand quilting.
The large squares are printed with tools: drills, nail guns, and saws. As I was working on the patchwork, I was thinking of the name for the quilt. Tool Man? I just registered the name of the quilt as Tool Four-patch. I'm hoping that some boy or girl who loves playing with tools will get this quilt.

This is really neat! What a fun project for a great organization!
As a mom of two children who have received quilts in the hospital as infants, I thank you for participating. Our oldest son (now 14) was 13 weeks premature, his twin sister died shortly after birth. We received his quilt while residents at the Ronald McDonald House. Our youngest son (now 9) was 5 weeks premature and received his quilt at the hospital. They are both treasured items and it is not uncommon to still find them with their quilt...or their mom snuggling under one of them. Memories....
