Adoption Fundraiser

As many of you know Andy and I are almost 2 years into the adoption process. This past spring I made 2 blankets for "our kids". We are still waiting on our referral, we are currently number 2 on the list! We are adopting a boy and a girl from Uganda. After searching for fundraiser ideas to help pay for the adoption(s) I came across an article suggesting selling homemade items. I love the blankets I made, and thought maybe others will be interested in some for their families. They are all (but 2) made with pre-washed cotton fabric, with batting in between, and a cotton backing and binding. They are considered lap size to child size, I put the dimensions up for each quilt. I sewed them to the best of my ability, and am always happy to answer any questions. I would also LOVE to take requests, if you have a color scheme or your child has a favorite animal or color etc. Thank you for even looking and I love your feedback! I am not a professional or even in the sewing business, but I have truly enjoyed sewing each one of these and would be so honored if you were interested in purchasing one. I'm trying to price reasonably (fabric and batting adds up!) and I will have to add a $5.00 shipping fee to any out of the area, I will pay the rest of the shipping costs over $5.00. Thank you! God Bless! And when we get our referral we will let everyone know!! ~christine To place an order please e-mail me at cbonneur@yahoo.com, please put Blanket Order in the subject line. I will let you know where to mail a check and I will get your address in order to ship it out right away. Thanks!!

The back and binding is a soft blue grey, and the squares have a spring green with white flowers, some are pink with tiny white dots, some look like raindrops and then coordinating pink and green stripes. I will try getting pics with better color because this is a beautiful blanket, although hard to believe from this pic!
