Soy Amado No. 4



Looking good don't you think?



To save me boring the pants off you every time I post one of these quilts and then do my begging for 12 1/2" unfinished quilted orphan blocks bit, I have made a separate tab on my pages bar called Giving Back - Soy Amado (or Amada if you are a girl...thanks Nicolette!).




If you're interested and want to get involved, all the details are there. It's a long term project (ie when I've reached my goal in Mexico City, there are other children's homes around the world that I'll be able to get quilts delivered to) so if you're worried you haven't got time, I can wait until you do.



Make this the year you get rid of your unwanted blocks that are only gathering dust in some dark recess somewhere and I'll be more than happy to turn them into quilts loved by children not as fortunate as ours.



It'll be one less thing for you to list and photograph when I see those UFO posts popping up everywhere :-)


Go on, you know you want to.

Linking up with Finish it Up Friday

  1. Another lovely quilt Alison. It’s wonderful to see all those pictures of blocks and quilts pop-up in the Flickr group! I’”m curious about the quilt-as-you technique you use!

    1. From Ann Petersen's Craftsy class - Quilting Big Projects On A Small Machine - worth the price of discovering how she does QAYG! Can thoroughly recommend her class.
