You have seen a number of donation blocks and quilts I have made for BAMQG using the postage stamp pattern. I wouldn’t have called it a postage stamp pattern; I would have called it a 16 patch, but\u00a0postage stamp was what the Charity Girls called it, so we’ll move on and fight about names later.<\/p>\n

The most recent quilt (still in process!) is the Black and Grey Teenaged Boy Donation Quilt<\/a>. You know it; you have seen it 100 times. I make those blocks as meditation and to do something good for others. There is something about making those blocks that feels infinite. Infinite possibilities. I think simple blocks have that quality.<\/p>\n

Cheryl’s quilt is a perfect example. She took a number of different blocks, put them together and added an awesome border to make this donation quilt.<\/p>\n
