Jan of Sew many quilts too little time blog is always making quilts and crochet blankets for a number of worthy causes. At the moment Jan is putting her energies into making Comfort Quilts for people who have lost homes in the currently raging Australia bush fires. She is an Australian citizen and is appealing for help with her project. Have a look at her blog and see if there is a way you can help.
One of the ways to help is to make 10.5” strippy QAYG blocks. Over the past few days I’ve managed to make 20 which I will be mailing to her. Mostly my scrap strips but I also added some 1.5” strips gifted to me by a quilting friend last month.
Bright and cheerful. I’ll make some more soon. Fun to make and literally anything goes, whatever mix of colours and fabrics all seem to work somehow. As you can see there are some children’s fabrics in there (elephants, owls etc) as well as a few batiks, solids and so on.
Do take a look at Jan’s blog and see if you can send her something too.
Also take a look at Jo’s Butter Z blog where she shows ways to help animals injured in the bush fires. Jo is also a Jan supporter. So lovely to know Quilters all around the world are helping with this unbelievably tragic disaster.
Thanks Linda for spreading the word. Your blocks are lovely. It is amazing how many blocks you can get out of a bag of scraps which some people throw away. They do add up and make beautiful quilts. Jan is wonderful and putting them altogether and passing them on to those who most need them..
