Soy Amado No.30

With a combination of these QAYG quilts and the whole ones that people have sent in, I'm sure we're more than half-way to my goal.

The next delivery is in a couple of weeks so I should find out.

Let's start with the back of No.30 for a change.



We snuck out early in the morning so no one would see us holding up quilts in random places.

It's a small island.

People talk.

But it's never quite early enough and we shared the view with  dog-walkers and joggers.

Now a lot of these blocks were provided by Joanne (her of the Mexican donkey block from No.10 and countless other blocks).



She very kindly sewed two rows together (2nd and 3rd up from the bottom) and provided some additional blocks - most of which I decided to put in a different quilt.



Then some fabulous star blocks arrived from Maryse (she supplied everything for beautiful No.9) so I added those in, plus a few other blocks I felt went with it, including this awesome flying geese one from Kelly 


It's turned out to be another favourite of mine.

  4. They are all gorgeous! I can't believe you are at #30...I must say I enjoy looking at all the different blocks people have sent you over the last few months, it's almost like a "Quilt Block Encyclopedia". So many ideas...
    And, I really like the "Awesome Flying Geese" from Kelly.:) You are doing a fabulous job!
    I hope my blocks weren't too sticky...It was the first time I used basting spray...Works great by the way.:)

  6. Wow....do yo ever sleep?! These are incredible! I'm new to blogging, but old to quilting. Initially I was drawn to your site because of island living. But I keep coming back because of your QAYG project for the kids. You are inspiring me to do something similar in my area (USA) for a cause. All your contributors are wonderful. Then again, I've never met a quilter that wasn't!!!!!

  14. Two of my blocks here... the chickens and the orange bordered Hawaiian print. It really is fun to identify my blocks in among the others and to see how you make them all work together! Thank you, Alison!
