Alycia of Alycia Quilts is having a block drive for Quilts of Valor. This group provides quilts to wounded soldiers. What better way to say "thank you for keeping us free and safe" than a quilt. It represents hours of work by one or many. It's individual in design and keeps the solder wrapped in warmth. So I felt privileged to be able to donate ten blocks. Ten is a bit of a significant number. That is the number of my family members who have served. Here's a sampling (I have GOT to learn a bit of photography):
The drive continues until March 8 and if you want to participate you can find the pattern and information on her post here. Every five blocks earns a giveaway entry also for added incentive.
Thanks for sharing this effort to collect blocks. I wasn't aware of it but I think I can fit in some blocks to help. It seems like such a fun idea - to end up with such a huge variety of fabrics!
ReplyDeleteAwesome blocks for an awesome cause! I am still working on mine.
