(Think I can blame/thank Maria W for this.)
Jan Mac makes quilts, or finishes quilts and gifts them as needed - when I saw it - it was all for the bush fire victims. So I figured I could assist.
Her request is for any sort of quilt - but she is more than happy to take string blocks and as I have 4 shoeboxes full of strips I figured this was a useful exercise.
I ended up making 40 blocks - Jan Mac usually puts 35 in one quilt, so one quilt and a few spares. I managed to use up a bit of the stash of strips....but there were still oodles left and after offering them around to my sewing friends - I kept some on hand but sent her the rest of the strips as well.
I'm sure my collection will grow - I often cut a strip when I'm cutting something else.
I mailed them off a while ago but forgot to post it....Not looking for a pat on the back - just want a record of what I did...and a big tally for OPAM (I'll say I posted them in June - OK??)
