No upside down trees in this one. Just a house and teddy bears which I managed to get the right way up.
Although technically this one is upside down because the machine quilted '2014' in the top left hand corner is headed elsewhere.
I love a good scrappy block.
I heard today that the first batch of 16 quilts have made it safely into Mexico City and are being delivered to the home today.
Hopefully, I will have photos to show soon.
This will be the first of many deliveries and when I'm done with Mexico City there are other children's homes around the world I can get these quilts to, so please keep your 12 1/2" unfinished quilted blocks coming.
Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. My sewing room looks like it's been ransacked.
But in a good way :-)
Oh it is gorgeous!!! I just love all of these scrappy blocks together!

Well done you! I would like to send a coupe of blocks to you - size should be 12.5 and as a quilted sandwich? Let me know where to send them :)

ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful thing you are doing Alison I'm happily working on more blocks to add to my pile of 20 completed blocks. I just can't stop making these... love your project and it feels so good to help! The quilts are turning out to be gorgeous riots of color, very HAPPY!
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilt again Alison and wonderful news on the delivery of the quilts to Mexco City!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant news all round!
ReplyDeleteso good to see the completed quilt, what a job you have putting these together, so worthwhile
ReplyDeleteYou are turning these quilts out very quickly. Exciting to see some of my blocks in this one. Good to know they made the journey from New Zealand. They are all so colourful and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteWow - go you! That's it - I'm making my block today.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful blocks!
ReplyDeleteAnother beutifull quilt done. You're doing a great job!
ReplyDeleteWow you are doing such a fantastic job!! And how rewarding to hear that they've finally arrived in Mexico!! I am sure they will bring children some much needed comfort.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to see the blocks I made in this quilt. I will try to get some more off to you soon.
ReplyDeleteso bright and cheerful x So pleased to hear the first lot have arrived safe and sound x Hope they will be keeping someone warm and cosy in their new home x
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful! I hadn't realised that sixteen quilts had been made already! I've been picking out fabrics for blocks (I went with darks and mediums because I thought they'd be practical but they just look dull at the moment!), as well as some fabric that I thought might make good joining strips/binding, etc. I'll send you photos once my blocks are ready and you can let me know what you think!
ReplyDeleteExciting to see the quilts reaching their destination. Well done A on sending out so many! Jxo
