Last call for Stars for San Bruno<\/a> netted a bunch of blocks! In addition to those I talked about last week<\/a>, I received 4 more over the weekend. These two beauties are from Julie<\/a>. She sent me a little note with them wondering if I would be able to use them.<\/p>\n

YES! Most definitely yes. I think they look like jewels, like the stone in a ring that sparkles elegantly. They are all applique’ and I think they will make an excellent addition to the quilts.<\/p>\n

One of the things I like about the blocks people are sending is that they are all different in some way. Yes, Sue and SherriD both sent groups of similar blocks, but there is something different about each block. Many of the people who have contributed do not normally make block quilts, so I am especially touched.<\/p>\n

As soon as I finish this reorganization, I am going to start piecing. My mom is out of town without her sewing machine, so she is off the hook for now. Perhaps I’ll get her to make the backs. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Want to help<\/strong><\/em>? I am still accepting blocks. Leave a note on this post to let me know they are coming.<\/p>\n

The background for this project is: that one family we know from school and my husband\u2019s cousin were affected by the September 2010 San Bruno fire. We are making 3 quilts: one for our cousin and his wife, one for my son\u2019s friend and one for the parents of my son\u2019s friend.<\/p>\n

I am thrilled at how many people are making a\u00a0 block or two. Do you want to contribute some blocks?<\/p>\n

All star blocks are welcome!<\/p>\n

Block background: dark blue
\nBlock design: Yellow star (any pattern, technique, eg. embroidery, painting, silkscreen, etc)
\nBlock size: 8? finished (8.5? unfinished) or smaller (we will work with any size)
\nRemember to sign your block!<\/p>\n

Deadline: End of March 2011, but I can only piece one quilt at a time and all blocks will be used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
