At the meeting on Saturday, Michelle reported that the guild had donated 175 quilts to various organizations. I can’t tell you how amazing that is. That is about 2 1\/3 quilts per member! It is really a great team effort.<\/p>\n

\"Donation<\/a>
Donation Block Prep<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After my last post<\/a> about donation blocks, I had to do some prep to be able to make more. The first thing I did was cut up some charm squares of white. At first, I just cut a few, then on a recent Craft Night, I cut up the entire pack and now have a ton of backgrounds.<\/p>\n

I have not yet cut more foreground fabrics. I really want to use the dregs. I know I am not a fan of them, but they are perfectly fine fabrics that need to be used.<\/p>\n

\"ME<\/a>

I made one more block before the meeting, bringing my total since the last meeting to 21.<\/p>\n

I also checked out my bin to see what was still left. I have some plaids that I will put into a block together. I also have those sunset kind of fabrics. I cut many, many squares from them and will have to just suck it up and make a bunch of blocks from them. They will look good together and I might have enough for a whole quilt.<\/p>\n

My little bin of donation patches is pretty empty. The top fabric is the sunset fabric. We’ll see what I can make from this weird assortment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
