I have been really churning out the donation blocks in the last week or so. I guess I feel I need to spread some kindness into the world.<\/p>\n

I received more of the Northcott Colorworks 5×5 squares so I was back in business making donation blocks. I had almost started sewing 1.5 in x 1.5 inch squares together for the Thirty Something quilt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Simultaneously, I washed several yards of white fabric so I could cut 2.5 inch squares for the donation blocks using the Accuquilt. The charm packs came first. I also have some ideas for the white and use it for linings to dresses, so I’d like to keep the yardage intact, if possible.<\/p>\n

I have a whole group of red and white donation squares that I am putting together into a top, so these blue and white ones are just stacking up.<\/p>\n

I am trying to make them cheerful, though I do have a container full of squares earmarked for donation quilts. I cut one 2.5 inch square, at least, from each fabric I buy or wash or use when I do my normal cutting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the moment, these are blocks, however, I am testing out a new quilting method and so they may turn into quilts without sending me into paroxysms of pain. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
