Nine Patch Plus Block quilt for Day1Bags
This is a quilt I made to give to a graduating senior who has been in foster care. This quilt project required a non-gendered theme, twin sized, and with a pillowcase to go with it.
It is hard to imagine what a non-gendered theme quilt is. However, the privacy of these teens is of utmost importance, so they could not tell us gender, or match us with an actual person to make something more specific for that individual. With that, I simply picked colors that I liked and am hoping that it will find it's person!
In Texas, teens normally age out of the foster care system at age 18. There have been a few changes to some of those rules, hopefully in response to the fact that teens don't go from kid to adult just because they have a birthday. It's a process. I wanted to give a quilt as a show of love and support. A big wrap of love to congratulate the senior who has come so far, and to keep them warm for the struggles ahead.
If you would like to know more about Day1Bags you can find it here. You can also contribute in other ways without having to make a quilt if you are interested! :)
