and make QAYG blocks for Jan Mac who is runs Oz Comfort Quilts which she started in 2009 ...
Cut background 11" for
10 1/2" FINISHED blocks .......
35 blocks make a quilt...
Please pop over and see how you can also help...
while sorting through the box and ironing suitable pieces I decided to also cut more 2 1/2" squares. They are for a long term project I started many years ago
and after seeing Lou's post and that she was going to work on her long term project I recognised the book and remembered I had that also lurking in my cupboard....
I am off to a retreat soon and will sew some more blocks together ...
Oh! before I go must show you my new friend "Clever Trevor"
Well must away and hugs the all the folk who are affected by the fires, especially all the helpers..
Hugs Maria ❤
Those QAYG blocks look good. Those 2 1/2" squares will be a great retreat project. You are lucky to have Clever Trevor - we can only use a bucket between certain hours to water the garden here in Sydney.
ReplyDeleteOh I like clever Trevor, I bet he does a great job! Am starting QAYG blocks today for the same lady! Great minds huh!! Great project to take to a retreat.
ReplyDeleteSuch bright cheery qayg blocks. What method do you use to join them?
ReplyDeleteI'll be watching your other scrap project. It will be fun to see how it goes. I need another cutting session, I ran out of squares before work this morning.
What a good job Trevor is doing. Well needed. I'm doing some QAYG blocks too.
ReplyDeleteHello Maria,
ReplyDeleteOh the never ending scrap fabric box! I remember many years ago a neighbour had one of those sprinklers, it went off on its own journey down the road.
Have fun at your retreat.
Happy days.
Bev.
Great use for your scraps Maria and I love clever Trevor! xx

ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love making string blocks. Yours are wonderful! Do you sew them onto paper or fabric? My scraps are getting out of control, so maybe I'll start making a few again.
