One block at a time

This quilt needs JUST two more stars.
Maybe you'll fill those blanks in???

I'm collecting star blocks to be made into quilts
for my local Veteran's Hospital.
Aren't these stars GREAT????
I love that they're ALL unique!

The deadline is July 1.
Still LOTS of time!!!

Details here.

There's also an other block collection going on here.

I think it's kind of fun to make ONE or TWO blocks
to be included in these donation quilts!!!

You learn how to make a different kind of block...
and...
You're not committing to a WHOLE quilt!!!

Have a GREAT weekend!

Blocks of Hope

Here are the blocks I made for Margaret's Hope chest.
The GREAT thing about projects like this is...
You get to try out a "new-to-you" quilt block...
and you're not committed to a WHOLE quilt!!
There are three blocks for a boy...

and three for a girl!!!

Now....
If you wanted to make this easy you would just cut some strips
from 6 or so fabrics and sew them together with that middle sashing.
I didn't make it the EASY way.
I ended up having a treasure hunt!!!
Treasure hunts are FUN...
but they're
TIME CONSUMING!!!!

Needless to say.
I think I could have made a WHOLE quilt
in the time it took to SIFT through scraps
Looking for the right COLORS!!!
