FOTY-made Donation Blocks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I made more donation blocks last Saturday as I worked on sewing together the FOTY 2014<\/a> patches. I thought green would be good and chose a lot of medium greens, though I had to use some darker pieces as my green scrap basket dwindled. I used, mostly, grey for the background. As you will, a little pink and some other colors crept in.<\/p>\n

Using the leaders and enders technique, I just kept sewing the 2.5″ squares in between the FOTY 2014 patches and came up with all of these donation blocks. I joked about making enough for a whole quilt, never thinking I would be able to do it. I am close, though, especially with the blocks from the other day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I saw a quilt on Valerie’s Twitter feed that has these blocks with Flying Geese on the outside to make them into stars. I am sorely tempted, but I have so many projects that I am going to force myself just to turn these blocks in and let someone else make a pretty quilt.<\/p>\n

I am very pleased that this will be a quilt (or quilts) that will make someone happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
