6th Annual Blanket Challenge!

This year's Challenge was "orange!" Quilter's received a piece of orange fabric to incorporate into their quilts. Knitters and crocheters received one of a variety of orange yarns. The challenge was to use the orange fabric or yarn in a quilt or afghan using any pattern or design the Linus Volunteer chose.

All visitors, volunteers and Recipient Facilities had the opportunity to vote for their favorites. The top 3 blankets received gift cards to Hobby Lobby or Honey Bee Quilt Store.

The winning blankets:

Butterfly Quilt by Becky, Knitted Afghan by Dorie, Dog Quilt by Debbie
